Re: Lutron QS Request Command <--Please someone help!!

 

In the QS protocol you are specifying the command, the integration ID of the device you want to control, and the action you want the device to perform. Some actions also have optional parameters that follow as well.

If you look at p93 of the document, for example, it shows how to use the OUTPUT command on a Maestro dimmer. The OUTPUT command has 4 actions that are possible:
1 = set/get dimming level (with some parameter options)
2 = start raising
3 = start lowering
4 = stop raising/lowering

So when you send the command "?OUTPUT,1,1<CR><LF>" you are getting the current dimming level of device 1.

When controlling a keypad the actions available are:
3 = press
4 = release
9 = get/set LED state

Hope that helps!

Re: Recover .vtz file from MTX3/PTX3, possible?

 

If you can connect to toolbox, have you try the file manager option.
Extract all the gui folder and send it to the remote.

I have done that in the past for some panel but not sure if it's works on
those remote

Hi all,

I have a client that we don't have the code for that ruined their PTX3
remote. I think I can still connect with toolbox, but is there a way to get
the compiled file out of it to load to a new remote?

WE don't have the VTP to recompile and do not want to change anything,
just replace the remote.

Any ideas about console command to get the file?

I looked at the project tab in toolbox on my own PTX3 and don't see any
option for extract or recover. I swear I have seen that option on either
processors or other touchpanels.

Any tips or tricks to try to get the compiled code to reload on
replacement?

Thanks
Jon

Re: subpage z-order ft-tps4

 

Submitting that problem to crestron to get a fix on next release will be
the best solution.

Thanks for responding. The changelog for VTPro mentions enabling the
z-order features for other panels, so it seems like an oversight to me,
like someone forgot to set that flag in the database.

In fact, if I save the project as a TPS4L project, I can set the z-order
option, compile, and upload to the FT, and the project works just the way I
wanted. Just annoying that I would have to resort to a "hack" like that.

I've emailed TB, see they respond with anything useful.

I can't recall if the option was there before and has disappeared or

I just updated everything with Master Installer last night, so I'm

Re: Simpl Windows Freezes

 

Its been few months and I continue to have issues. I have the latest released databases. The freezing happens even when I am not connected to a processor. As long as I am working on a project that has DMPS-*00 in it, SIMPL windows freezes constantly. I am using XP with 4gb ram. If I am programming any other processor, everything is fine.

It may be my PTSD but every time it does that I start to worry about how current the .ASV...

If you're feeling lucky, you can turn Autosave off but that is at your own peril.

Various people at various levels of Crestron have been promising a fix "soon" since October.

I have started working on my first DMPS-300 Simpl Windows project. While I am not at all a fan of this piece of hardware, I have started having Simpl Windows freeze up for several seconds and then start working again. Just wondering if this is something to do with the latest version of Simpl, or is this particular to a Simpl project involving the DMPS-300?

Re: TPMC-9 crash issue

 

I didn't notice your response Henry (been very busy), but I came back here to update the thread with some new information.

All my panels are on Ethernet. I disabled cresnet (out of pure desperation), and voila, since then I have not seen it happen. It could still be occuring, but anecdotally a lot less frequent.

So if anyone else is experiencing this, you might want to try the same.

cheers,

I have 16 of these things and 3 of them are (consistently over a period of days) randomly rebooting. I'm pretty sure I have seen it on more than these three, but for now we have identified 3 panels where the behavior is common enough to cause a problem.
Behavior: Panel reboots upon a button press, or panel reboots for no reason at all.
Mine are all Cresnet connected, some powered locally, most powered by Cresnet with power calculations done.

Thanks for all your replies.

Also I have done the initialize/restore and clean compiles. I will try the remaining suggestions to be safe.

To be clear, the panel can stay functional for hours, even days with all the buttons working, before this happens at random. Sometimes it happens with relatively short interval, like 15 minutes, but usually not.

I am deploying to 10 systems, so I guess I´ll find out if it is a bad panel soon enough..

There another thread recently about unsupported characters in graphics file

No rhyme or reason. I found it by deleting pages until the problem went
away. Can you load a simple 2 page, 2 button project where the buttons just
cause a page flip to the other page and see if it still has the problem?
(No graphics loaded)

I'm experiencing weird crashes with TPMC-9 (OS 3.001.0052, FW 2.11.0039)

Panel dims way before the standby timeout (1 - 15 seconds after a button

literally the next second. Repeat a few times, then it reboots. Comes back
up as if nothing had happened.

The only message I could find in logs was "render timeout", I'm not sure
it's related at all. Core2 project with a CP2e.

Any ideas?

Core 3.......ya

 

Anyone have issues displaying an analog gauge in core 3?

Specifically the analog feedback seems to update slowly. I tested with just an analog ramp and two buttons to ramp up/down. The analog gauge ramps up and down but slowly and keeps ramping visually after I release the buttons.

Same program/ buttons/ analog ramp/ analog gauge - work fine and update correctly on a standard panel / XPanel.

Re: D3 "link" levels between two switches

 

Hi Heath,

It is very easy if you want them to ALWAYS match level. In your trigger for system startup, add a new step and change the type to 'connect'. Supply the slave load current level and the master load current level, set operator to '=' and it is really just that easy.

Is there any way to make one load's level always match another?

I have a case where a slave switch needs to turn on it's load, as well as an adjacent load. I thought there was a way to say "level1 = level2".

Alternatively, is there a way to somehow respond to the slave button programmatically? I can't see anything, even at the simpl level. Might have to pull this slave out and stick in a keypad or dummy dimmer.
