Certified Drivers
These things are giving me all kinds of grief.? They just stop working.? I had one job with 3 rooms....all 3 rooms stopped working on the same day after about 5 or 6 weeks of working fine.? These are all with planar displays.?? I have other jobs with samsung displays and same thing -? the driver just stops working until i reboot the processor.? I tried reloading the driver at regular intervals and a few other things to try to keep it alive but i am about to give up on certified drivers altogether.

Re: Max number of Crestron App instances in a program?
I would defer to what Lincoln is saying, and I think that Phil brings up a good point concerning the format if the response:
CPU:? 2.3% usr? 2.3% sys? 0.0% nic 95.2% idle? 0.0% io? 0.0% irq? 0.0% sirq? It definitely reads to me as 95.2% Idle. all the other items seem to show their identifier after the %... |

Re: PRO3 DRAM
#crestron
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHave you tried to inject 24v power using the cresnet connector or changing the internal power supply? I had three of my oldest PRO3 recently die and replacing the power supply fixed the issue. ? From: <[email protected]> on behalf of markdandrea <mardoudan@...> ? Can the PRO3 DRAM be physically swapped with another PRO3? |

Re: Switchable Privacy Glass - Works well with Crestron
I can't recommend a brand, as I'm not sure the brands used, but all the switchable glass that I've used in commercial environments were all low voltage relay controlled, which made it dead simple to control from Crestron using relays.
On one project, the room had glass walls on 3 sides of the room, which were made from 3-4ft wide panels of privacy glass from floor to ceiling tall.? In that case, each panel had it's own LVC box connected to it in the ceiling, that we tied into with relays.? I think there were 20-something panels in total around the 3 sides of the room, so we used a relay expander for all the relays we needed.? I think they used single latched relays, latched close to make transparent, open for opaque (so that opaque was the default state of the glass). Fun note, this was fun to play with, since each pane was controlled independently, I could make the room transition from opaque to transparent instantly, or I could animate the panels when changing them.? I had a couple chases setup, where the panels transitioned one at a time from one side of the room to the other, as a quick sequence.? This was in a demo room for a client, and they LOVED playing with it to show each other and their clients. A warning, of all the glass brands I've seen, most are not as transparent as normal glass.? While I'm sure some are better than others, they doesn't pass as much light as normal glass, so it looks a little darker.? There are usually some other visual artifacts as well, like possible blurring (not as sharp to look through), and also double-image ghosting is another that I've seen (however that was on the thicker variant that was commercial glass over 1/2" thick).? Not bad, but just be aware.? Technology may have gotten better in the last couple years too, so maybe these aren't issues anymore. -- Jason Mussetter Control Systems Designer Mussetter Programming Services |

Re: PRO3 DRAM
#crestron
It's been awhile since I had my PRO3 apart, so I can't recall whether it had removable DRAM modules (DIMM/SODIMM?).? There is a microSD card for the firmware, so in my case I had a fear that it may one day become corrupted like my older MC3 processor did.? I made a backup image just in case.? If you suspect the microSD card has become corrupted you could try swapping that with a good one from another PRO3.? What I'm not sure about is whether the PRO3 microSD carries the MAC Address along with it (which has been an issue I've seen mentioned for the MC3s)? so that would be something to check if your microSD turns out to be the problem.?

Re: Jandy iAquaLink 2.0
It is possible the Aux outputs on the Jandy itself are not setup? I have also seen this when the Aux is actually used for colored lights. It wont work in that instance because it really isnt a toggle- it is meant to step thru the various colors of a light from the app. Did you try using the iAqualink app and logging in with the site's credentials and debug against that??

Re: Switchable Privacy Glass - Works well with Crestron
We used glass from a company named Glass Apps a couple years ago on a project (seems like now they are out of business) and we were able to use a 2DIM8 output to switch it on (clear) and off (opaque). Worked fine with no issues. It was dimmable as well but just didn't see the need for it- either you want privacy or no privacy. That company also offered a film that could be applied to regular glass and controlled the same way.?

Re: Switchable Privacy Glass - Works well with Crestron
Thanks Lincoln. ? I am looking at both the sandwiched glass and film options to best understand the pros and cons.? It looks like Sage Glass has a very good sandwiched option.? I don¡¯t know if it is easily controlled though. ? The client wants the most minimal light transmitted into the space when the glass is off.? Bedroom application so darkness is key in the morning hours.? They also value clarity when energized so I¡¯m trying to figure out what is best for both criteria and easily controlled.? I don¡¯t think that dimmable matters. |

Re: Switchable Privacy Glass - Works well with Crestron
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIf you¡¯re referring to electochromic glass, usually (the good stuff, at least, and in my experience) is part of the glass manufacture process and it¡¯s actually sandwiched between two panes of glass rather than added after the fact and while it¡¯s never as clear as plain glass it¡¯s pretty non-noticeable if you aren¡¯t looking for it. I haven¡¯t seen any that are color changing. ? It¡¯s just voltage control ¨C so you just need a relay rated for whatever the glass is expecting as far as voltage and current. Frequently (IME) it just winds up as a switched (non-dim) circuit on the lighting control system . ? (The way it works, at least the implementations I¡¯m most familiar with and that I first saw [in a Hometime ¡°House of the Future¡± episode from 1992 ¨C wow how that project help set the career trajectory while I was still in elementary school] it¡¯s essentially a monochrome LCD display with no backlight. When there is no power all of the millions of liquid crystals orient themselves randomly making the glass ¡°opaque¡±; when you apply power the crystals all wind up point the same direction making it ¡°clear¡±) ? -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-E-4K/T/D ?

Re: Switchable Privacy Glass - Works well with Crestron
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI never got to try any of the products but I did some research and wrote about smart glass a while back.? Here is a link to the article. Hope this helps Jay On 2/24/2021 5:03 PM, adamzatorski
