Re: Samsung Ambient Mode Serial

 

Ambient Mode On = \x08\x22\x0B\x0B\x10\x01\xAF
Ambient Mode Off = \x08\x22\x0B\x0B\x10\x00\xB0

Art Mode On = \x08\x22\x0B\x0B\x0E\x01\xB1
Art Mode Off = \x08\x22\x0B\x0B\x0E\x00\xB2

I don't know why Samsung has two different names, and two different commands, for what appears to be the same feature :-)

Re: Anyone willing to write a Mr. cool Module?

I'm a bit late to respond back on this thread, but DannyB had eloquently summarized a lot of what my initial thoughts were. This should be relatively easy to do, it just depends on having access to the endpoint to test code with, and budget I'd say. With websockets, there's also an increasing number of Crestron dealers and CSP's who have invested their time into developing such infrastructure and code bases. This is especially true, now that HTML5 and Javascript have essentially become part of the overall Crestron ecosystem moving forward.

If I was developing this, device access would be paramount (at least for initial testing, and to ensure reliability, but also to speed up the development time). Budget would be a factor too since things are reasonably busy for me for at least the next couple of weeks; I'd likely need to allocate some time on weekends to complete this if there's a sense of urgency here. In that case, if there's anyone else who has a bit more free time and would like to develop this, I'd be happy to let them have it if cost is a concern.

I try to limit the number of projects that I take on in order to maintain appropriate output in terms of quality.

Cheers!

Samsung Ambient Mode Serial

 

Hey All,
? Just wondering if anyone has the command for Ambient mode (discrete if available) for a Samsung TV. I have a xls doc that has a bunch of serial commands, but the doc is a few years old and does not have the command for ambient. Any help is appreciated.

CK -

Please report this to TB and use # 201012-000858. ?I started this with them in October of 2020 when the strange issues started happening with their combinations of trying to quickly fix all the Flash dependencies.? As you know from my Horizon lighting project (that I still cannot update all the switches to the current firmware, even when done as you are experiencing 1 at a time) troubles.? The D3Pro program, RMC3 firmware, & the various databases bricked the SD card.? I have not sold lighting since this¡­I am currently trying to get them to fix HZ-KPEX keypad backlighting that does not show after the current combination broke that as well.? Mind you, I installed these switches and programmed this originally in March-May 2020.

?

They do not want to address it and are acting like it is not effecting anyone else!

?

Thanks,

Trey

Hi All,
I have to update ~120 Horizon EX dimmers and have had Crestron suggest two ways - Auto Update Tool OR Downgrade to Toolbox v3.3.424 (which I reluctantly just upgraded from...:( )
I just looked at the Auto Update tool and it looks kind of klunky. My orientation is to downgrade to 3.3.424 and use NetDevTree/Update all like I have in the past.

What are others' recommendations in this regard???
TIA!!

Re: Sonos firmware update for the MC3

 

Check out smtp2go.com for email needs. Its what i've switched to since others keep breaking. This is just a simple implementation that should be fine for what most of us do.


Re: Sonos firmware update for the MC3

 

Yes that may be.? But that is no longer an issue for me.? I set up a cloud service that my Crestron processors use and then that cloud service emails me what they wanted to say.

Re: Serial Memory on Program reset or Processor Reboot

 

Thank you very much to both of you....I'll try two options and see If I can get this to work

Much Appreciated


Re: Serial Memory on Program reset or Processor Reboot

 
Edited

IMO, best practice would be to save/recall the values to/from a file on your processor, either through Simpl+ or Simpl#. If that's not practical for you to code at the moment, there is an existing "Write and Read variables from file" module that may be useful.


Re: Serial Memory on Program reset or Processor Reboot

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

There are a few but non particularly elegant.

?

Easiest would be a S+ with however many serial inputs/outputs and the same number of NONVOLTATILE STRING globals. Note that this has the same volatility and position-sensitivity as any other symbol that uses NVRAM, so more elegant but less efficient would be to write settings out to a file ¨C it depends largely on how important the data is and how sad you/the client would be if it got lost.

?

Also the below pseudo code was (a) written before I¡¯ve had any caffeine this morning and hasn¡¯t been compiled let alone tested, (b) assumes the same signal name is on both the in$ and out$, (c) expects recall to be pulsed during the processor boot sequence to¡­recall values (this could potentially be done in FUNCTION MAIN()), ?and (c) isn¡¯t the best way, on its own, to handle cases where the serial value changes rapidly, for example directly connected to an output from a touchscreen keyboard. (use a MSP/ABUF combination to store the final string on enter, for example)

?

?

#DEFINE_CONSTANT maxSignals 10

?

DIGITAL_INPUT recall;

STRING_INPUT in$[maxSignals][100];

STRING_OUTPUT out$[maxSignals];

?

NONVOLATILE STRING store$[maxSignals][100];?

?

CHANGE in$ {

???? INTEGER index;

???? index = GETLASTMODIFIEDARRAYINDEX();

???? store$[index] = in$[index];

}

?

PUSH recall {

???? INTEGER i;

???? FOR (i=1 TO maxSignals) {

?????????? out$[i] = store$[i];

???? }

}

?

?

Subject: [crestron] Serial Memory on Program reset or Processor Reboot

Hi All,

I've recently been working on something that would be more efficient for myself when creating graphics for different clients.?

Mainly, renaming of souces or changing an icon via a tech page on my graphics.?

I've gotten all this to work through a hidden tech page I've created where I have the source serial names editable and feedback to the main page. However, when I reboot the processor or upload any change the program, I lose the names and have to edit them in again on the tech page. Any idea how I could make the source name on the main page permananet but editable from a tech page?

Hope all this makes sense...

Hi

Is Crestron home integratable with a TSR 302.?

If there are any experiences please do share ?

Thanks

(In case anyone tries this).
For sure, you need the old client.? I poked at the endpoint and what it's running is compatible with the old client but not the new.

Betreff: [crestron] Copy Kaleidescape GUI

Hi,

i?m currently working on a project including a Kaleidescape system.

I?d like to import the standard Kaleidescape GUI pages provided by Kaleidescape into my project, but with no luck.

I?m trying to just drag & drop the whole subpages from the Kaleidescape example GUI to my project in VTPro, but that doesn¡¯t work. The mouse pointer shows the ¡°+¡± when moving into my project, but when I release the mouse button, nothing happens.

?

It?s not even possible to copy and paste single buttons from the example GUI into my project.

?

Am I missing something here?....

Re: Anyone willing to write a Mr. cool Module?

 

The Curl statements work against the cielo smarthome api endpoint.

This is the API behind the UI you see in your browser when you use their website to control the thermostat.
It is a websocket based api (which curl supports), rather than polling, so i expect it's fairly responsive.? ?More to the point, it's a signalR based API () using websockets.

So the curl statements (and then websocket messages) can control/get data from the thermostats without a node.js interface or anything else.

The crypto/etc here is pretty easy to convert to C#.

To your question of how this was figured out, it's not usually that hard, sometimes you just look at the .js files that the UI uses, etc, and it's obvious.

Reading this code, ironically most of it is not needed, either for javascript, or C#.

What the author doesn't seem to have noticed is that, as mentioned, it is clearly a signalR based app (i can't tell what version, but if i had a login/thermostat, i could).?
Most of the code in the javascript here is sort of a by-hand hack-up of trying to emulate the signalr protocols, like the negotiate protocol and such.
This is not needed - microsoft provides a javascript client for signalr that can do all of this for you:


There is like 100 lines (maybe) of code needed here.
You just need the names of stuff in 273->329. Those are the method and message names that you use with the signalR client.
You also need the auth token grabbing, but that can be done pretty easily.

More to our speed, they also provide a C# .net client for SignalR. The latest is here:?
I haven't checked if this is compatible with the framework versions on Crestron.
But for sure, the older one (which should still work with the Cielo app) here will:?

(and there is lots of signalR client sample code)

Hopefully this helps - given there is a ready made library for working with this sort of API, it really should not be a hassle to deal with.
