Re: Mobile Pro on iPhone 5

 

The 'old' app was never modified to support the bigger screen sizes introduced with the iphone5. Wouldn't hold your breath for it at this point either.

Subject: [Crestron] Reading Lutron Homeworks Illumination Output Strings

Having issues with Lutron to Crestron.
We are using a very old CNMSX-PRO with an equally old ST-COM connected
to a Lutron Homeworks Illumination Panel via RS-232, and having some
problems reading data from the Lutron correctly.
We know that when looking for strings coming out of Lutron, passing into
the ST-COM, we can correctly identify the string as an example, for the
Living Room Keypad Button in the following format, which matches up with
the Lutron documentation:
KBP, [01:06:07], 10&#92;r
Just to clarify, we have logic on the ST-COM that says "when we see the
following string, go turn on the fireplace."
Here is an explanation of the string:
Keypad Button Press (KBP)Processor 1 (01)Link 6 (06)Keypad ID 7
(07)Button 10 (10)Carriage Return (&#92;r)
The above works perfectly.
However, when we try other Keypads with other fireplaces, we get failure
to recognize the strings. After troubleshooting a little, it appears
that if the Keypad ID has double digits (like 10, 14, 16, etc), it
doesn't work. I suspect one of three things:
1. Although Lutron should be sending out ASCII, for some reason it is
sending out some other format (we cannot use SIMPL debugger to verify).
It should be noted that for a Keypad ID of 10 as an example, none of the
following worked placed into the ST-COM (note we are trying decimal,
ASCII, and hex). Also see screenshot down below.
KBP, [1:6:10], 5&#92;r KBP, [01:06:10], 5&#92;rKBP, [01:06:0A], 5&#92;r
None of the above work at all.
2. The second possibility is that the Crestron is not correctly
translating the ASCII it is receiving, therefore not turning on the
fireplace.
3. Maybe we need to set some options on the ST-COM Module, that I am not
aware of. I tried to see if there is a way under "Configure Device" to
set it for ASCII, Hex, or Decimal, but there is no option like that.
What I really want to do, is monitor what the Crestron is really seeing
from the Lutron Panel when certain Lutron Keypad buttons are pressed,
but I think I need to use SIMPL Debugger for that. Since we cannot use
Toolbox, and therefore SIMPL Debugger with this CNMSX-PRO, we are stuck.
I tried using Toolbox and could not get it to work. Crestron verified
that Toolbox will not work with our CNMSX-PRO.
Please see Lutron documentation here:

Re: New iOS App?

 

Don't feel bad for me. I have never learned anything from people telling me only good things. The more you tell me the better things will get.

On the pricing, the Microsoft comparison is a good one. They were dumbfounded when I told them we didn't charge for firmware updates or development tools! I do wish we had better options to get a version out to those of you actually developing the interfaces but the App Store can be quite limiting.

It blows my mind how a customer will spend $800 on an iPad, but good lord, $99 for an app? Holy crap. The world comes to an end.

Can't tell me it's becuase the iPad does sooooooooooooooo much and the app is fixed purpose, because the same applies to $1.00 for an app. People work up a sweat over the debate to buy it.

This about sums it up.



People basically get their knickers in a twist over buying software, because software to most people has no material value.

On commercial jobs I usually squeeze everything into the free app because more people will use it and that leads to more sales.
