Re: Tekmar Snow Melt 654
Heather Baiman
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe only module in the Crestron Marketplace is for a TSTAT.? You've seen one for the Snow Melt somewhere? ? Yes, we have the 482 and my field guy was just connected directly to it from his computer with their supplied cable. I'm at the office.? We also tried the Serial Port test, which implies it will send back the current firmware version and protocol on its TX string; but we get nothing.? We're going to call them. ?

I also had him press the buttons on the actual unit to see if I get any feedback and I don't.? The protocol seems to imply there is unsolicited feedback, but I get nothing from this unit at all.? Anyone have experience with it? ? TIA ? From:

Hey all, ? Has anyone integrated at Tekmar Snow Melt system ("TStat" #654)? It does not appear that the Crestron module supports its features and I can't find the protocol for its specific functions, like Melt, Storm, and Off. I have contacted Tekmar, and they seem helpful, but then they say they will get back to me and never do.

CHRISTIE UHD861-P baud rate
Hey everyone, just in case you run into this monitor, the baud rate in the manual is incorrect. It also does not match the smaller version of this monitor. The actual baud rate is 115200, not 38400. Christie said they are going to change their manual. Hopefully it saves you the time it took us to get to the bottom of this one. Cheers |

Re: Spectrum 110-A
We will see. ?The new remote looks to have fewer buttons, kind of like what Comcast did with their Xfinity remote. ?I'm guessing that will come with a new set of IR commands even though most buttons will line up with the old. ?I'll update once I get my hands on one.

Re: MC3 - Issue
Looks to me like your program never compiled properly.
I've had this happen occasionally on my Parallels VM. Usually moving the complete program to a known working folder (where a program is known to compile) will fix this. Simpl windows seems to be defiantly getting more fussy about source folders. Also just make sure your working folder is not in a Dropbox, One Drive or Google Drive sync folder. I personally have all my project and development programs in a Google Drive folder but only enable sync in the evening when I've finished work. YMMV Regards -s |

Re: Simpl+ ITOHEX question
Keith Mullins
Take a look at the chr reserved word.
String = chr(integer)
That should get you where you need to be.
