I use Fiddler2 from Telerik to quickly figure out http headers and

So we have a brightsign script for audio playback.? It works great, but the down side is that you have to physically pull the SD card to load new audio files.? So I am playing with BS Author and can't seem to find a help file or video that directly pertains to what I would like have it do.? ?Which is to make a UDP call for an audio file and then get a response when it completes.? This is how the script works.
1.? Pulse SIO to UPD/IP com? Play Sound
2.? Receive UPD message that Play Sound is complete
Does anyone have an example Crestron simpl and the paired BS project that I can look at?

Re: http command works when sent from a browser but not when sent from a Crestron system
Usually, there's a minimum acceptable amount of header info that products require and finding that can be time consuming. ?The process of stripping something down to its barest essence is called Muntzing. It's some good geeky early A/V history actually, I have my grandfathers Muntz 8-Track in my office for inspiration. ?

Re: Crestron integration with forbes & lomax keypads
#simpl
similar to the C2N-UNI8IO is the GLS-SIM, which has two 0-10 inputs on it which could go behind the rotary dimmer.

Re: Home appliances integration with Crestron?
#crestron
In my house I monitor my "dumb" washer and dryer. For the washer it has a light that comes on when it is done- I just use a photocell light sensor taped over that. And the dryer is gas fired so I use an old Crestron ST-CS since it is below the 10 amps max. Works perfect for telling me things are done.??

Re: Simpl compiled zipped file is missing sgd
Well that reassuring because none of us use crosspoints haha <rolleyes>. Been using them forever and this issue didnt always happen so as usual we have another bug being introduced with an update...

Re: Has Anyone controlled an (Australian) Foxtel Now Box over IP?
I have controlled one with an irUSB (from videostorm). It was a fair while back and from memory we had to side load the app. Personaly I prefer the IP option but I assume Flirc would also work.

Re: Crestron integration with forbes & lomax keypads

Hi Javier,
As Brian said, since Forbes & Lomax are Contact Closure devices you can use C2N-UNI8IO to get the CC from the Buttons.
For the Rotary button, you will have to select the 0-10V model connected to DIN-IO8 which could be quite expensive.

Re: Crestron integration with forbes & lomax keypads

Javier,
I believe that the Forbes & Lomax devices are simple contact closure.
So, the short answer would be yes, but this wouldn't include their rotary dimmers.
Also, I would be sure to mention to the client / designer that no visible feedback would be provided on the keypads.
Good luck,
Brian

Crestron integration with forbes & lomax keypads
#simpl
Hello everyone I have a customer who wants to buy forbes & lomax keypads, he does not want to use crestron keypads. Is it possible to control that devices with crestron??
Thank you so much for your support.

Re: http command works when sent from a browser but not when sent from a Crestron system
I just wanted to follow up that adding a little bit of extra header information to the http request solved the problem.?
Thanks again to everyone that responded with suggestions.

Re: Question: Easy way to convert a Crestron Mobile to Crestron App project??
I ran into the same issue in the past, just add a new button to the old layout an give it a random join number, convert again, this time the joins should be also taken over to the converted project.

Re: Question: Easy way to convert a Crestron Mobile to Crestron App project??
Follow-up...
Well! It did convert the project, with small text, but the BIG THING is that it did not copy ANY Joins!!!? so it is, as Natalie pointed out, not actually compatible...
Typical Digital Age: All promise and no delivery!...:)

Re: Simpl compiled zipped file is missing sgd
I just confirmed that the issue indeed is caused by the presence of a Crosspoint symbol, and this is probably why Dave H was not able to replicate the issue at first.

Re: Home appliances integration with Crestron?

Well, it?s as always depending on the use-case and the environment. Most people try to get their dryer and washing machine out of way to avoid seeing and hearing them ¨C this includes beepers signaling they?re ready. A lot of people find it convenient if they get notified when the machines are done. This can be a text message or just a flag on a wall panel or even some immediate response like flashing lights (although I wouldn?t like that, personally). One use case is the daughter waiting for her favorite trouser to be done ¨C with a status flag on a wall panel you know when it?s ready without having to walk into the basement (and find it?s 10 minutes to go). ? We also have enough trust in our machines to let them run without being at home. I don?t see the point in having a washing machine when i?m only allowed to use when i?m at home. If something goes wrong, hopefully the smoke and/or water detectors will notify me. ? ? Cheers, Thorsten ? ? I'm still at the point where I don't see the allure of most of these smart appliances.? I see value in something like a refrigerator or freezer being able to tell me that the temperature has gone above a threshold.? But I don't see any value in the washer or drying being able to alert me on my smartphone.? We don't let either of those run when we aren't in the house and they both make beeping or buzzing noises that let us know when they're done.? I've heard too many horror stories over the years about someone who left their dryer going and came home to their house burned to the ground. I get the whole "the customer is paying me to do XYZ" thing though. ?

Re: Home appliances integration with Crestron?
#crestron
On the other hand I'm a big fan of having my washer, dryer, and
dishwasher send my wife and I notifications when they finish their
cycles.? My washer and dryer also beep when done.? However, I
might be in my shop with the door closed to keep sawdust out of
the rest of the house, working in the garage, or working outside.?
In those locations I would never hear the beeping.?
I simply use energy monitors on the circuits for these
appliances.? I monitor the energy use in the Crestron processor
and send Pushover notifications to my wife and my smart phones.? I
also send announcements to the Amazon Echos in the house.?
It is a bit of a challenge to do this with energy monitoring.?
The dryer is easy as it uses quite a bit of energy just to spin
the drum.? The washer and dishwasher use varying amounts of energy
as the go through the various portion of a cleaning cycle.?
However, if you study the data you can come up with a pattern and
program the crestron system to look for that pattern.? It works
well and doesn't invalidate the warranty on an expensive appliance
by adding relays to the circuitry.? The downside of the technique
is that if the appliance gets replaced you probably have to modify
your code.
I'm using a TP-Link energy monitoring smart plug for the clothes
washer and a Shelly EM for the dryer and dishwasher as the energy
monitors.
I also have similar notifications setup when the mail gets
delivered to our mailbox at the street :-)
Hope this helps
