Hi John,?

If you want to send me the files, I can take a look them.

Where to find the serial connection password on a Cisco SX-20?

Hi Guys,

?I have a Cisco SX-20 that is having its login refused. I’m assuming that the password has changed but I can’t remember where to find it in the web GUI.?

TIA

While you'll have to fabricate your own DIN rail mounting the Shelly 1 is about as cheap, and small, as you can get for an IoT controllable relay. ? The Shelly 1 can be turned on/off programatically or using a contact closure.?? The free Shelly modules I've written, even provide full feedback on the relay state.

The Shelly 1 is about the size of 2 oreo cookies stacked on top of each other.? It is designed to fit in a wall box behind a light switch.? You hook the light switch up to the contact closure inputs and the relay up to the lighting load.? The light switch can then continue to switch the load on/off and it can also be fully controlled by a control system.

They are available directly from Shelly or on Amazon.?

Here is a link to the code on my Github -

Hope this helps

...ever produce a DIN-RLY8?

Yes I know we have the SW8's and the AO8 (that can be used at a stretch) but both these are way OTT for a simple contact closure.
My main house DIN cabinet could really do with some more dry contact relays, also I'd like some in the garage too.
4 relays on a DIN-AP4 just does not cut it Crestron.

Looks like I'm gonna have to break out another raspberry pi.

Each to their own, but as Crestron DIN modules go, the DIN-8SW8-I is one of the lowest cost. You also now effectively get the (I) inputs free now too. As for the size, I appreciate the relay terminal spacing when I’m mixing 240 V a.c. mains with low voltage switching on the same module. True the switching logic is different, but it’s hardly complicated, and you get proper feedback (along with manual buttons on the unit and both manual and remote override).

Those devices look very cool. They have a document on web site about products that integrate with home automation systems. Interestingly, the 0-10v rotary is not listed in the document. Seems like it’s intended to connect directly to an LED 0-10v driver. I’d be interested to get my hands on one to experiment.?

Take a look at Moxa controllers. They have a variety of DIN-mount, IP controlled modules with relays. Particularly interesting because they support a handful of different protocols, so there’s likely something you’re comfortable with. Inexpensive too.

Re: DIN range - why didn't they...

* Cheaper cost
* Smaller size (than the 8SW8) - should be same size as an IO8/AO8
* Would follow same programming as the relays built into the processors. One digital to turn the relay on/off as opposed to rising discrete inputs for 8SW8
* Makes my DIN enclosures look more sexy

What would your hypothetical product offer over the DIN-8SW8?

GLS-SIM and the Forbes and Lomax "0-10v" rotary dimmers do NOT work together. Been there tried that. F&L admitted that it's not really 0-10v, when pressed. It's not just a simple potentiometer with the 3 wires brought out. It's only 2 wires with some electronics inside. I could never get them to reveal what was going on inside. They just said "it works with Lutron".

I have the network upload part done.? I've built a project that I think is correct, but I know that I missing something as it doesn't seem to work.? Like I said it is a first stab and was hoping that someone may have a working simpl and BS project that I could compare to.

If you provision the player(s) on BSN.cloud which is free, you can perform file actions as well as other functions through there.

?hi John,?

You can set up an interactive presentation such that playback of specific content is triggered when Brightsign received a UDP message from Crestron and when playback starts or completes, you can configure Brightsign to send a UDP feedback msg that you can use within Crestron.?

I have implemented such in the past. Let me know if you need further info.?

You can also configure the Brightsign unit to cater for network uploads and avoid having to physically load files on the SD card.?

Re: Infratech patio Heaters

#242445

For the control side, you just send the Home Management System a 0-10V signal, and that is it.? (0V=Off, 5V=50%, 10V=100%)
They should be doing everything else.? There shouldn't be anything else connected to the Crestron equipment.
All of the heaters that are compatible with the Home Management System are 240V.? So, it sounds like they have something wired incorrectly.
It's worth noting that the little 120V heaters (Infratech only makes a couple) are not compatible with the Home Management System.

I'm not sure what relay you're referencing in the Infratech panel.? RGC1P48V42ED???
This is what controls one leg of the 240V line to the heaters.
It should be connected to the Crestron 0-10V through the built-in connection block.
Also, there should be a 24VDC input from the built-in AC/DC power supply.? This supplies power to the RGC1P module.
Finally, there the in and out for one of the 240V heater legs.

Good luck,
Brian

Re: Infratech patio Heaters

Thanks for the reply we do have that unit I get 10 v coming from the Crestron dimmer. However the heater only gets 70v max. Any thoughts on that> I also see they provide a contact closure from the infratech panel. What do you use that for ? Thanks

Re: Dish Network

#242442

Does this also apply to the dish wally device? I have to control one of these for a client and I have never used the product. Does it have IP control? There is a CCD package on the Crestron IO site but wanted to make sure to see if it works or not.

My latest article, "How Sensibo Pure Manages Whole House Indoor Air Quality” is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

The article is a hands on review of the new Sensibo Pure air purifier and for Crestron programmers the article includes a link to a free Crestron integration module that can be downloaded from my Github.

You can find the article here:

#242438

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?
