Re: Sony Z Series TV control not working
Installed two with IP control, no issues. Enable Simple IP control, check that Remote Start is enabled, and off you go. The panel is LG; software and video processing is all Sony.
Serial is not enabled by default on Sony TVs running on the Android platform; enabling RS-232 from the menu is necessary (for models since 2018 at least). If I recall you also select either the physical RS-232 port or CEC in the same menu.
Standard Sony IR codes should also work. If you are hardwiring IR to the jack, make sure that you know the Stereo pinout. I have a generic Sony IR codeset in a URC remote that has worked for several model years now.

Is this TV a LG or some other rebrand and that why it won't control?
The model is XBR-85Z8H

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the input...
I haven't had a chance to go though the code yet... planning to do that tommorra or the weekend.? Lost so many hours on this project, trying to kick a fast one out so I can recover some billables...
Shoulda just been a teacher... no requirements, no responsibilities and 10 months vacation...
PS - don't flame me... its a joke

Re: 3 series Processor Auto hard reset - looking for Opinions on Doing it daily
I see it as more of a proud moment when the processor has had a very long uptime. When I see that it has a short up time I wonder why did it need to be rebooted, and is there something in my code that could be done better? Ryan Cunningham?

Re: Lutron integration issue
thanks dears for information?
I will generate a license for the processor?
but I do not have any license already to be deleted
or do I need to delete something equipped with the processor.?
also I tried to ping lutron on text console
somtimes it succeed and sometimes fails?

AV3 not communicating after power outage
I have an AV3 that is not communicating. No LAN light on the front but network activity on the port and on the network switch. I changed to DHCP and it is not acquiring an IP.
Errlog reports the following:
Error: CIPCommandProcessor.exe # (Date-Time) # GetFirstInternalAdapterIndexThatHasAValidAddress - Could not find a valid adapter
Warning: TLDM.exe # (Date-Time) # SendEnableDisableRouterPassThrough - IOP cannot exit Passthrough Mode - Command Failing
Error: TLDM.exe # (Date-Time) # RouterMonitorThreadCallbackRoutine: Router is still stuck in the boot loader. Please contact Crestron for further support.
Along with a slew of Unable to connect to TCP server notices.
I tried the HW SW buttons, and an initialize/restore from console while trying to get hold of True Blue. Has anybody dealt with this? I am pretty sure this will be an RMA but would be great to get resolved without having to send off. This is for an audio system with only a DSP and no mixer, so they are dead in the water. I connected to the DSP and unmuted mics to hold them over, but I¡¯m sure they will be hollering after a day or two¡
Thanks,
Michael

Re: Lutron integration issue
I just RMA'd a AV3 because it would stop talking to Lutron.? Delete license, get a new one and everything was good for 6 months until it did it again.? Same fix as before.? They sent me an advanced replacement, which I thought was a bstock, that had a new SN structure.? As of this year and processor that SN starts with a minimum of 20xxxxxx does not require a license.? Easy way to tell if it is the license.? Open a cmd window and ping the Lutron processor, if that is good.? Then open toolbox text console and ping the lutron processor.? I Bet it fails.? Use text console to delete the license, then go through the process of getting a new license.

Should not be too hard to fix.? Once you find the offending module open it, search for the variable LOCAL, and rename it to something else like LOCAL2.? Sometime in the past, LOCAL wasn't a reserved word in the SIMPL compiler and things would compile fine with a signal with that name.? I've had similar issues where in SIMPL+, Crestron added a new built in function and they happened to chose the name as my function that I had previously written.?

Re: 3 series Processor Auto hard reset - looking for Opinions on Doing it daily
BTW, the #2 needs to be there if you are using the latest update of the scheduler.

Re: 3 series Processor Auto hard reset - looking for Opinions on Doing it daily
You need to also look at the .dat file.? There needs to be what appears to be an errant line at the very top,? #2, and the file MUST be in the NVRam folder on the processor and in the subfolder for the program name that corresponds with what you are running.? These 2 items were gotchas for me.? Once that is done, you should be able to just page thru the .dat file using the event buttons and it will display all of the events that you have scheduled.

Re: Honeywell 4232BCM v1.4 and Vista 20p
I've seen a couple of defective 4232CBMs, however if that were the case the older module wouldn't work. I'd suspect either the alarm panel's or the 4232CBM's firmware needs to be updated.
I can't remember which features were changed in the v1.4 module, but if the older one works why not just use that?

I cannot get any communication back from the device (alarm panel) on version

They old version 1 module does work as expected.
Any help would be appreciated,

Re: 3 series Processor Auto hard reset - looking for Opinions on Doing it daily
Hello Evan,
I have only one event in the .dat file to trigger the hard reset at 3am, I tried only Saturday¡¯s, tried everyday and still nothing. I user text console to set time to a few minutes before 3am, would wait and the event never triggers. I also used the sample code provided by Crestron and modified it for DMPS3-4K-100-C and looking in debugger everything is active and enabled. When trigger manually the hard reset works fine, it just seems to not be calling the event. I am waiting on a call from Crestron support to see what else could be going on, but from what I can tell, seems that everything right. Obviously it¡¯s going to be something small that is going unnoticed.?
I appreciate the help, and def feel more comfortable with getting the event scheduler to work properly.?
Thank you,? Jose Yanes?

Re: 3 series Processor Auto hard reset - looking for Opinions on Doing it daily
Hello Lincoln,?
Not hard resetting for any issue related reason, I just want to reduce the runtime so that I do not have 180 days plus of uptime. My main objective is to just have my system uptime usually no more than a week or 2.
I appreciate your response, again I just fear doing a hard reset daily which is a easy add on for my programming without having to resolve my event scheduler issue.?
Thank you,? Jose Yanes?

Subject: [crestron] 3 series Processor Auto hard reset - looking for Opinions on Doing it daily

Hello All,?
I¡¯m looking for everyone¡¯s opinion on doing a hardware reset on my 3 series processors Automatically everyday at 3am. I was trying to use the event scheduler to perform the Hardware resets only on Saturday¡¯s, but am having issues getting
it to properly initiate the event.?
I am concerned that doing it everyday may cause issues In the future with my processors, but not sure. It¡¯s technically just a processor reboot or like turning the power off in the rack so I don¡¯t think doing it everyday will be an issue.
Any/all thoughts and opinions are appreciated!?
