Re: Android APP ETA

 

I tried to do that for my house as I (and several clients) are waiting for the Android Go app, but the conversion of my usual UI into Construct was a complete mess but my UI has alot of graphics and lists which didnt convert correctly. Basically I needed to rebuild 50-75% of the UI and even with a test UI I was having issues with the HTML5 xpanel connecting to the house remotely. So I gave up and use the crappy work iphone for now. But if your UI is less complicated you may have better results.??


Re: crestron Construct and its app 101

 

iOS Settings -> Crestron One -> HTML UI Mode On
Then you enter the Crestron One app again, and add the system as in Crestron Go.

Hello, i am learning Construct and having issues with the app (crestron One, i believe). I get construct to work on my laptop web browser and same on my phone and ipad web browser, but the app just shows no discovered rooms.... no idea. I loaded as BOTH as TB suggested, i added a crestron ONE app in the simpl side. Also, is there a license involved? is it netflix style? (monthly fee?). TIA

Re: Android APP ETA

 

My new Pixel 8 Pro should arrive today or tomorrow.? It would be great if that ETA was accurate, considering we're now in Q4... :-)

In lieu of that happening, I was thinking of creating a phone-sized CH5 X-Panel in Construct, by converting a TSW-570P vtz.? Does anyone know a reason that wouldn't work?


Re: Apple TV Select Button

 

Yeah, that works great!?
I thought that it would feel a little weird since you're waiting for .5s to start the P+H routine, but it's almost the same. certainly better for a client that's not thinking about tenths of seconds!!...Haha
Thanks again!!


Re: Apple TV Select Button

 

As usual, that's a brilliant solution, Alex!! nice job!!...
I think I get it, I'll mess around with it


Re: Apple TV Select Button

 

As luck would have it, got our first dealer call yesterday reporting exactly the same thing. To solve it I used a press and hold to receive interface presses. Both outputs on the press and hold connect to independent buffers, one buffer for pressed and one for held commands. The output of each buffer is jammed with the same IR command, in turn allowing a press and hold to trigger the same IR command, just for different durations.? For my PNH parameters I set hold time to? .5s and for my output pulse time 1t.

I can give you my working example if you need it.


Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

My latest article, "My Experience with Lucyd¡¯s Bluetooth Audio Glasses¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

Quite a few companies have tried, unsuccessfully, to make smart glasses.? Lucyd takes a different approach with their Lucyd Lyte glasses.? I had the opportunity to try a pair and explored how useful these glasses really are and how they can be leveraged in a smart home.

You can find the article here:



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



Finally, for those that want to see even more content I've written about smart home technology you can find that here:



Thanks


Re: Comcast (xFinity) Voice and the TSR-310

 

Interesting, thanks Dave!
Questions, regarding Custom applications:
1. It looks like Crestron is NOW recommending connecting only to 5ghz, and preferably a dedicated 5ghz SSID. Correct??? (I believe that the best practice used to be ONLY 2.4ghz...)
2. If #1 confirmed, Is this recommendation only for this new FW and forward?
3. If you have a dedicated 5ghz SSID for the TSRs, do you need to set the TSRs to select the 5ghz band or can you leave them in 'Auto' i.e. will the performance matter with a dedicated SSID?
4. Is it necessary now to have dedicated (i.e. different) SSID on each AP (TSR-Fam, TSR-MBed) to prevent roaming? or is this not an issue now??

TIA!


Re: Apple TV Select Button

 

I have this issue on 3 and 4-series (haven't looked on 2-series...Do I have any systems left with 2-series??)
As I was working thru an update I realized this:
1. Using the P+H module for the Menu/Exit button allows for solid single 'back' commands, and P+H function for the HOME/Main Menu command
2. The select button now really requires a Press, Short P+H and a Long P+H - This is where I'm not sure if we can make this work with the current tools...
PRESS =? ? ? ?Item Select
Short P+H =? ?Mini Menu (Edit Home Screen, Move To(Folder), DELETE App)
Long P+H =? ? Item 'Wiggle'? (for moving menu position, I think)

I see the potential need for all of these but I don't think that we have (currently) all the commands necessary, even if we can engineer a reliable '3 Press' logic...
Ugghh, Any ideas are welcome...?

?I'm thinking that we'll probably need to tell the clients that they just need to be better button pushers...Practice, Practice, Practice!!!
Oh! and Mr. Customer... here's your invoice$$...


Re: Apple TV Select Button

 

What worked for me on my 2-series processor was using the Gen 2 IR driver from the Crestron DB and using the P&H as previously mentioned with a OS of .01s on the "not held".


Re: Problem with symbol TCP/IP Server on the CP4N

 

The webserver is always available even if you don't program it, so the router configuration does not need to change for that to work as it's probably a default setting which is set in firmware. The same applies for incoming CIP connections. Outgoing connections like a TCP/IP client do usually not need to be configured on a router but a TCP/IP server is an incoming connection which needs to be configured. This probably happens at program start and when the router is not up and running, how should that happen??

Why the difference in 3 and 4 series? Because different underlying platforms can behave slightly different. 4 series is also much faster and programs start earlier than on 3 series.


Re: TSR-310 Continual System Disconnects & Fav CH not functioning #cp4

 
Edited

TSR-310 v2.001.0174 (10/10/23) has some major improvements regarding WiFi & "Connecting to System" behavior in CH.
Please update your remotes and refer to release notes for more information.

While not necessarily related to XFinity Voice, also worth noting?TSR-310 v2.001.0174 (10/10/23) has some major improvements regarding WiFi & "Connecting to System" behavior in CH.

Please update your remotes and refer to release notes for more information.


Re: Apple TV Select Button

 

One of my dealers just reported the problem on a system using a CP4's built-in IR ports. In this instance, the fix was simply to put a .01s One-Shot inline with the command.

Re: Problem with symbol TCP/IP Server on the CP4N

Maybe -- but that's not as clean as startprogafterrouter because (a) the router startup time isnt a defined period so you run the risk of too long or too short and a future router config or firmware update breaking things, and (b) you would be subjecting yourself to that penalty every time the program started even if the router was already fully up (e.g. when loading changes to the program)

Its kind of like the old BiAmp Audia modules that enforced a 60 (or was it 120) second initialization delay because someone put the DSP on a power sequencer and rather than handle that in a sane way the fix was to make everyone wait a minute or two every time the program loaded before the module even started to do anything useful?

Just a thought, if the "Enable" signal of the TCP-IP Server is set high with a delay to make sure the router has time to initialize. that should fix the problem as well, no?


Re: Problem with symbol TCP/IP Server on the CP4N

 
Edited

No. It does not help. Soon I will be able to check the command associated with the router on the processor. And yet I don¡¯t understand why such services as conditional Telnet, an internal Web server, and a lot of others have time to start normally on the processor, but such an important part of the logical core as the TCP-server does not have time to start. And why did it always work on pro3 before. Let me remind you that we do not use the Control Subnet on the processor.

Samsung WA65C RS232 Commands

 

Has anyone controlled a Samsung WA65C display using it's RS232 port? We have several coming up on a project and the user manual just says "Serial Interface for debug only." I was wondering if it will still work to control the TV and which Samsung control protocol it uses?
