Has anyone found a way to control a IV P20 cam via SIMPL??
The device help shows TCP not UDP control for Visca support. Can standard Sony style Visca IP logic be used to control these devices??

Looking into a Crestron Device Driver for this but the camera control wrapper has no inputs for file path/name nor does it have an input to load the driver file.?

Thanks in advance,?

Existing setup? I had to update the Roku device driver. That restored control on my demo system.?

Strange. The Roku we set up last night went to 14.1. The Roku we set up this morning went to 14.0.4.
There was no navigation of hard buttons on the TSR-310 on 14.1, but we could navigate the scrolling list on the touchscreen.
No issues on 14.0.4. But to be safe, we went to IR.


Re: New Roku Issues

 

That seems like it was still set on limited instead of enabled

Re: New Roku Issues

 

They have 14.3 out, did you try it?

So what isn't working for you?


Re: New Roku Issues

 

So on new project. Roku on 14.1 is enabled. But only works upon reboot of CP4 for at most 2 commands. Confirmed that IP address is correct, and Enable is chosen. Roku on 14.0 works fine. Going back to IR for control. But we still have no issues via navigating the icons on the TSR-310. WTF!!!


Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron

 

Is this SIMPL driver available now somewhere?

Re: TSW-1060 Weather Application v2 and weather widget work on my bench but not at client's site?

 

I've had this happen. I don't know why, but I did stumble on a kind of "fix" last time. When I selected the location zip code and set as default, things started working again. On a few TSWs, I had to power cycle them to get to the location selection page, but once there, setting the location again brought things back. Might be worth a shot.

Subject: [crestron] Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

The idea for the MeatStick grilling thermometer was hatched when a group
of friends became distracted at an afternoon barbecue and overcooked
their steaks.? I've written several articles about the company's
products.? However, their latest product, MeatStick V, is a major step
forward for backyard chefs trying to prepare the perfect meal.

You can find the article on MeatStick V here:



For those interested in earlier articles that I've written, you can find
those here:



For these interested in even earlier content that I wrote, you can find
it all here though older content has formatting issues due to a transfer
from blogspot to wordpress.



Thanks

Re: TSW-1060 Weather Application v2 and weather widget work on my bench but not at client's site?

 

I'm no expert, but my gut and my troubleshooting rules ask: what IS different?
?
-CAT cables all good?
-addreses/IP table(s)
-controller model?
-controller FW?
-is it a managed switch?
?
SOMETHING must be different, although I've seen some weird things.
One time I had to deal with a Serial cable that pinned out fine (through the connectors as well) but the item wouldn't respond.
After making another one, it worked fine. Put the old one back and it would not.
Go figure. We never did find out why.
?
Good luck, and let us know what happens!


Re: TSW-x70 button press responsiveness

 

I've seen it on a CH5 webpage where holding a button will give a momentary press. Rinse, repeat and it will then show my holding the button down

I notice this specifically with CH5 but I notice it more on the x60 series, especially the 1060.? My theory is that the same hardware drives a larger screen at higher resolution, but maybe it's my CH5.? That said sometimes I even have the issue on web XPanels so maybe it's not hardware related at all.


Re: Crestron Go on iOS, any way to keep connection active

 

Just for big picture perspective, since Crestron fully supports talking TCP/UDP over the network, nothing stops anyone from leveraging that capability to just talk to Crestron by developing native iOS apps using Xcode and the Apple Developer Program ($99/yr) and then following Apple's workflow for "ad hoc distribution".

By "ad hoc distribution", I mean the workflow where you're not publishing to the App Store, but instead, collecting the UDID (device identifier) of the specific iOS devices you want to load to (Apple limits each standard developer account to 100 such devices) and then pushing the app directly to phones via a provisioning profile.? If this works so well for you that 100 devices isn't enough, Apple's $299 Enterprise program is the next level up, and cuts out the provisioning profile step, in favor of a slicker "enterprise distribution" system.

I don't think Crestron will be the least bit unhappy if more Crestron gear gets sold to happy clients who are using it whichever way they want.

With a native iOS app you can support all the widgets and other OS-specific functionality you want.? Sure, it's a custom baked solution per client, and off the beaten path compared to using the standard Crestron tools.? But again, Crestron fully supports native TCP/UDP communication, and that includes to native homemade iOS clients you make in-house, for which there's absolutely no question as to whether widgets or other iOS functionality will be available.? And ChatGPT has plenty of access to Swift code to have trained on, and can babystep?programmers whose experience is something other than iOS into pivoting their existing knowledge and experience onto iOS.

Food for thought!!

Regarding the play/pause FOR RESI...the older Crestron app for Android (not Go) supported notification widget buttons. It was so convinient there, I had play/pause, prev/next and volume contol, 6 buttons I believe. The app didn't have to be in the foreground for this to work.
?
Now that iOS supports widgets, I wonder if there is automation app that you can create custom widget with a few buttons, and simply have a UDP packet sent to crestron. Programmatically/SIMPL change what source/room the widget control, based on last selection in the Crestron app for that IPID.

TSW-1060 Weather Application v2 and weather widget work on my bench but not at client's site?

 

What would explain why the same VTP project on two different TSW1060 panels of the same firmware (3.002.1061) works in one location and not the other?
?
At both locations they pass TESTDNS
?
TSW-1060>testdns www.cnn.com
IPAddress = 151.101.131.5
TSW-1060>
?
Yesterday on site I set the panels to DHCP just in case that was an issue, no change.?
?
I assumed that ensuring DNS worked was all they would need but maybe I'm wrong? Anyone? Thx in advance
