Here's a lowdown on a great "feature" in case anyone trips across it
before you spend too much time tearing your hair out.

In the 2-series, if you have an array and attempt to access an element
beyond what it's declared for, you get a zero result and (I believe) an
error in the log. (A slap on the wrists, and obviously not the results
you're expecting)

In the 3-series, however - the remainder of the code following the line
the error is on is THROWN OUT like last week's rancid leftovers. You get an
error in your log, sure - but anything that relied on the block of code
completing ain't gonna get satisfied. (Y'know, like, turning off the
semaphore on a parsing routine)

So make sure you do range checking before accessing arrays on the 3s... :(

Re: Crestron for iPad

 

I don't really understand. How have they paid for iPad functionality in their system already?

That's not true, these 30 iPads will not be on the same Apple ID.

For $99? Hell if they have 1 iPad it is $99. If they have 30 iPads, it is $99. Sounds like a non-issue. You have a multiple factor of that invested in redesigning the panels.

Could be worse. AMX is over $700 PER DEVICE because they use a licensing system and the customer doesn't buy the app (it's free). They buy a license from YOU. That is a lot tougher to explain but is still WAY cheaper than buying an AMX/Crestron touch panel.

Re: Get IP Address of Device In IP Table

 

Not sure about the rcon, but I do know the WHO command will show connected
IP addresses in the IP table (as well as console sessions).

The TPMC's are connected to IPID 7 of the ENET-1 slot, performing

Problems with Carrier Infinity Module

 

Hi,
I'm using the Carrier Infinity module from Crestron (v2), and I'm having
one heck of a time with it. I thought I'd reach out to this group for
ideas.
Fundamental problem: The module works for a while, then stops querying
the HVAC system for information. This can happen in a few hours after
boot, or as long as a few days. But eventually, it happens. The
obvious result is that displayed data becomes stale.
When this occurs, if I do something to change the state of the system
(put a zone in HOLD mode, say), then the module will start communicating
again. Until it stops again at some later time.
Things I have tried to resolve this:
1. First occurred on PRO2. Upgraded to PRO3, no change.
2. Modified code to run in separate "slot" of PRO3 (as a separate
program). No change.
3. Put the code on a QM-RMC running older (v3) firmware. No change.
4. Went to Carrier to report the problem, they said Crestron supports
the module.

Worked with Crestron. This is ongoing, no solution (yet). I did get a
BETA version (v2.3, not on the WWW site yet), but this occurs as well.
I believe Crestron verified that they can replicate the problem, but
there is no solution as of yet.
I did recently upgrade to the Infinity Touch control, which (presumably)
allows me to use the Crestron Infinity Touch module (although, with the
same SAM board, the old module works perfectly). I can try that if
folks are having better luck with that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
/Jeff

Normally I'm not inclined to drop names, but it's not like these guys are hidden.

I'm not saying that will necessarily do anything, but it seems like if enough people get their higher ups to complain en mass, maybe some change can be effected, albeit slow?

Maybe this has been done, I don't know, but just curious how you guys have been attempting to deal with the problems that we can't fix.

Just a note to everyone who had issues with the mjpeg from the Wirepath

it actually works now (tested on the TSW-750).

Re: Get IP Address of Device In IP Table

Found it!

If you send the console command 'who' to the DMPS, it lists all active ethernet consoles, which includes the TPMC-4SM.

A quick module in S+ will pick out the IP of any IP ID that you want.

If you can, create Dynamic DNS domains at mycrestron.com so you don't have to worry about WAN IP address changes. It's free and works well but don't forget to include the Dynamic DNS module in the program!

1 - There is a tech note that goes into this in more depth on Crestron's site, but it basically involves setting up port rules on the router to allow connections from the outside to come in. Depending on the router, you can usually set the iPad to always attempt to use the external address, so the same connection profile will work whether you're on the internal LAN or truly outside.


2 - follows 1 pretty closely. You don't need to change anything on the processor - just rules in the router to let you "dial in" from the outside on port 41794. When it's properly set up, you just need to point Toolbox to the external IP address, and the router will direct the request to the processor.

3 - As long as you have the app running on the iPad, use the Toolbox System Info tool to connect to it. You'll have the option to load a project to it, just like it was any other touch panel.

I know this has probably been discussed before, but I couldn't find it. I've got a couple questions:

1. How do you setup a processor and router to enable access with an iPad externally for control?

2. Ho do you setup the processor and router so that I can remotely load updated programs directly onto the processor without being on-site?

3. Last question, How do you load a VT Pro file onto an iPad locally, so it doesn't have to download from processor every time.

Thanks!

Pretty much (btw - just misquoting your "hard to explain" bit below, not being snarky). No one paid anything for the AV2 firmware because Crestron chose not to charge for it; Apple of course chooses differently. Whaddayagonnado...

That's exactly what will happen, they will install the new app, I will be able to copy my TSW programming to the iPads and they will get a refund for something I didn't get any margin on in the first place. Has nothing to do with "being bad" at explaining stuff.
How much did you pay for the AV2 firmware that enabled the Core 3 Smartobjects?

Correct on the device count; Apple limits you to a total combination of 10 iOS devices and computers (or non-iOS iTunes instances technically) per AppleID.



It's not about "paying twice", it's about playing by Apple's rules, over which neither you nor Crestron has any control - Apple is the gatekeeper here. Like Chip said, if they already paid for iPad functionality they don't have to pay twice - they have to pay to UPGRADE the app to enable better features. Or you can just take $99 out of your bottom line if you're bad at explaining it to them.

That's not true, these 30 iPads will not be on the same Apple ID. I don't mind my customers paying $99 for the iPad app, but think that customers that have paid for iPad functionality in their system should not have to pay twice. The explanation is techy, communication to customers should always be solution driven imo.

For $99? Hell if they have 1 iPad it is $99. If they have 30 iPads, it is $99. Sounds like a non-issue. You have a multiple factor of that invested in redesigning the panels.

Could be worse. AMX is over $700 PER DEVICE because they use a licensing system and the customer doesn't buy the app (it's free). They buy a license from YOU. That is a lot tougher to explain but is still WAY cheaper than buying an AMX/Crestron touch panel.

Hey guys, am I the only one who finds it hard to explain to my customers who bought the Mobile Pro app recently that if they want to upgrade their experience they need to purchase the upgrade for another $99?
