Re: Capture HD Reset

 

I believe this is a ¡°feature¡±, last time I called TB when I had a Capture with a bad NIC and they said USB is disabled on latest firmwares.

"The front usb does not do anything with the newer firmwares."

Is this something "broken", or is it a "feature"?? (Not that I can imagine how it would be a feature)

In the case of the former, what has TBTS had to say about it?

Extron SIS IP Control

 

Hi all,


Does anyone have any good or bad experiences controlling an Extron SMX or anything else that uses SIS over IP? I know the commands and they work, but I'm concerned with 1) automatic TCP disconnect and 2) the copyright message that is transmitted every time I connect. Should I keep the connection alive and reduce the disconnect time?


Or should I just go serial? I don't mind serial but, it's 2014.


Re: Crestron Lifesize and Blue Jeans

 

My answer applies to all vtc systems, not just Lifesize and/or Blue Jeans:

If they are dialing the call from a Crestron touch panel they usually want to type in the bridge access code from the touch panel as well so I always make a way for them to send DMTF tones from the same keypad... either a button to switch to DTMF or, depending on the codec and which module you are using, simply watching for a call to be connected and then switching over to DTMF; this can be a drawback though if they need dial multipoint calls at times too.

The short answer is yes, I normally incorporate DTMF keys on the touch panel but it kinda depends on the hardware and the client as to how I do it.


Crestron Lifesize and Blue Jeans

 

For anyone that incorporates Lifesize and the big Cestron together. When the customer requests a blue jeans bridge call, do you normally incorporate the DTMF keys to key into the bridge or have them use the laptop access code route?


Re: 3 Series Multiple Programs - Tips, Tricks and Issues

 

Username crestron, no password.

SSH from other clients like Putty or SecureCRT is still kind of wonky (they don't really support all the terminal things a real SSH server would, so backspacing doesn't erase the character on your screen, but it still works), but it works great otherwise.


Re: Absolute Humidity / Calculate "Power of x" in SIMPL+

 

Markus, take a look at dewpoint.zip in file setction. It is the module for a dew point calculation where inputs are temperature and humidity from C2N-RTHS.?
The calculation is made by lookup-table method. It is probably not the most accurate method, but for my needs it's Ok.

Re: Crestron Nest (Cedia Announcement)

 

I'm rather glad they're not giving out the scheduler. It's too complex to put on a panel. It's better to jump to their app.

Re: 3 Series Multiple Programs - Tips, Tricks and Issues

 

"I still load that way....only reason is, i have NO CLUE how to load with an ftp.? any help there would be greatly appreciated."

With WIn 7, I just go to the start menu and use the "Search programs and files" text box - type "ftp://<ip of processor/panel>" and hit return.

The file directory of the device shows up in a window like any other hard drive/usb stick.? Drag files to the appropriate destination, then telnet to the box and type...

"puf" for firmware
"progload -p:<x>" for the program you dropped into slot "x"
"projectload" for UI files

Re: Prowl for Crestron 3 Series is posted!

 

I have a very basic module that I wrote for Prowl that I've been running on my 2-series system at home since 2012. ?If anyone is interested in this for a 2-series, then I can load it to the files section. ?It's written in S+, but is wrapped in a UMC for the way I use it at my home. ?I probably wouldn't have much time to help anyone set it up or figure out how to use it, but it's pretty straight forward and it has never failed on me in over 2 years. ?I set the UMC up with 20 definable messages, and then all you need to do is send the message, and the priority level with the event trigger, like shown in the picture below. ?Or, you can just get rid of the UMC and use the S+ module by itself.

Scheduler is not in the API, and even so, one would be hard-pressed to come up with a suitable interface to their scheduler in the Crestron tools we have at our disposal today.

The version I'm working on will control multiple units.? Feedback is the problem though.? We have to poll for it today, and the NEST service will boot you for a while if you do it too much ¨C and even worse, it *might* boot all clients from a vendor if one overdoes it.? I'm not positive on this. ?

Given that NEST uses REST streaming for real-time feedback, and that it works quite well when not using the broken things in S#, I thought it would be best to work with the S# guys to fix their HttpsClient so that it will properly receive streaming rather than polling. After two months, I'm not sure...

Re: Prowl for Crestron 3 Series is posted!

 

I've been using this module for a while now and it is awesome. I have it tied to my alarm system so I get instant notifications on my iPhone of when my system gets armed, disarmed and in alarm. Prowl was easy to set up and keeps a running log of all events. I'll continue using this till they add notifications to the app (rumor has it, next year).
Thanks to the author
I just saved a ton of money by switching to prowl for all of my security monitoring needs!!


Crestron HD-XSPA Beginner tips

 

I had to setup 5 of these during rack testing last week and had a few moments where I wanted to smack myself for missing the obvious.


I thought the unit would get its LAN connectivity through the DM port since we had this being connected directly to DM 8G output cards. But the unit never showed up in a Network Device Discovery. The front panel or USB both showed a 169.254.xxx.xxx address so I thought it was not working.

We then connected the LAN port to the network and created a network loop. If one actually reads the manual it says do not do that, which we suspected. The manual says When you connect the unit to a DM switcher that you cant connect directly through Toolbox and the HD-XSPA tool, you need to go through DM-Tool to talk to the receiver, then it launches its own instance of the HD-XSPA tool or something.

I thought maybe it would automatically get assigned its IP table like an RMC does...but it did not. I used the front panel to add the IP table entry and then I was able to control it.

The next bonehead move was trying to get sound out of the thing... I had control of it, I could adjust the volume and get feedback but no sound through the speakers. ? It helps to hit the power switch on the front of the unit which I guess activates the amplifier. The front LCD was working so it never occurred to me that this power button was just for the amp. Oops.


Re: Version Control

 

I use Redmine as well as ProjectLocker with Trac.?

I prefer Redmine to Trac. ?The pricing on ProjectLocker is good, but I will eventually be moving to something that uses Redmine. I dont want to maintain my own server so will use a hosted solution. Anyone want to nominate their Redmine hosting provider for consideration?



Denon HEOS

 

Has anybody heard of any development of a module to control Denon HEOS?¡­ I find nothing online about it (Crestron module), and I can't locate the protocol to even peek under the hood to see if it is something I feel comfortable attacking.

Re: 3 Series Multiple Programs - Tips, Tricks and Issues

 

At the last master's class, the Otter mentioned in passing these two command lines for FTP loading programs and panel projects:
progload -P:1? <yourprogramname> ??? for programs
projectload -P:1?? <yourpanelproject>? for panels

have not tried it yet - just took a note and forgot it till now.
Nor did he mention just what folder to dump the file into before loading either.
