Also, additional power supplies up¡¯s the amperage ¨C which means bigger wire guage to devices and the components internal circuitry needs to be beefed up to handle the possible larger amperage ?

There's a potential issue if the power supplies are slightly different.

If you have two power supplies, one at 23.5v and one at 24.5v, the higher could backfeed into the lower and damage it if it's not designed to handle this.


Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

My latest article, "How SimpliSafe Compares to a Traditional Security System¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

SimpliSafe is one of the most popular DIY installed alarm systems. This article looks at how a SimpliSafe alarm system compares with a traditional alarm system that requires professional installation. As part of that comparison it examines how a SimpliSafe alarm system fits into an overall smart home.

You can find the article here:

For those interested in earlier articles that I've written, you can find those here:

Finally, for those that want to see even more content I've written about smart home technology you can find that here:

Re: Unable to Show controls on a SRL

 

Yes you cant have objects in a SRL that can be swiped the same direction- one has to be vertical and the other must be horizontal or vice versa.?

Is the room you put the camera in hidden under advanced settings? This also hides cameras.


Data Type Conversion #simplsharp

 

I am having difficulty understanding datatype conversion from SIMPL# to SIMPL+. Currently, I am trying to parse return data from SIMPL+ using my SIMPL# library. The return data comes into SIMPL# as a SimplSharpString. I parse the string then attempt to convert it to a USHORT so that I can have it come out of my SIMPL+ module as an analog signal. Does anyone know a good resource for understanding datatype conversion between SIMPL# and SIMPL+?

Below are some code snippets:

SIMPL+ Analog Output Definition:
ANALOG_OUTPUT? ? LampHours;


SIMPL+? Analog Output Update:

CALLBACK FUNCTION PJLampHoursDataEventHandler(INTEGER hours)

{

LampHours = hours;

?

}

SIMPL+ Delegate Registration:
RegisterDelegate(myPjClass, PJLampStatusEvent, PJLampHoursDataEventHandler);

Event Definition SIMPL#:
? ? ? ? public delegate void PJLampDataHandler(ushort data);
? ? ? ? public PJLampDataHandler PJLampStatusEvent { set; get; }

Part of my SIMPL# CheckResponse Definition:? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? public void CheckResponse(SimplSharpString data)
? ? ? ? {
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? else if (data.ToString().Contains(ack))
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? {
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ParseReturnData(data);
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? }

Part of my SIMPL# ParseReturnData:
? ? ? ? public void ParseReturnData(SimplSharpString data)
? ? ? ? {
? ? ? ? ? ? ushort PjLampHours = new ushort();
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? case 3: //Lamp
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? try
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? {
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? holder = data.ToString().Substring(3, 1);
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? //uShortHolder = (ushort)Convert.ToInt32(data.ToString().Substring(3, 1), 16);
?
?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? if (debug > 0)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? {
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? CrestronConsole.Print("\n\rtest holder = {0}", holder);
?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? //CrestronConsole.Print("\n\rtest uShortholder = {0}", uShortHolder.ToString());
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? }
?
?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? PjLampHours = (ushort)Convert.ToInt16(holder, 32);
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? //PjLampHours = (ushort)Convert.ToInt16(data.ToString().Substring(3, 1), 32);
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? //PjLampHours = (ushort)Convert.ToInt32(data.ToString().Substring(3, 1), 16);
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? PJLampStatusEvent(PjLampHours);
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? }

SIMPL# Print to Console:
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? if (debug > 0) CrestronConsole.Print("\n\rCurrent PJ Settings: \n\rPjpowerState: {0}\n\rPjcurrentInput: {1}\n\rPjLampHours: {2}\n\rPjcurrentVolume: {3}", Convert.ToString(PjpowerState), Convert.ToString(PjcurrentInput), Convert.ToString(PjLampHours), Convert.ToString(PjcurrentVolume));

What I am seeing in console:
Current PJ Settings:?
PjpowerState: 0
PjcurrentInput: 0
PjLampHours: 0
PjcurrentVolume: 0
?


Re: CNTBLOCK brain fart

 

Perhaps someone here smarter then me can explain why Crestron insists that a cresnet device can only be powered by a single power supply?? 2-24 vdc power supplies in parallel is still 24 vdc.? There is no phase issues like you could run into like you could with 24 vac.? The volts are the same just more capacity.


Re: CNTBLOCK brain fart

 

For anyone else not sure about the jumper, it's not something you unplug.? It's a wire that needs to be snipped or un-soldered.? I always knew of it's existence but never needed to deal with it until now.


Crestron Home with Unifi Cameras

 

I must apologize in advance is someone has already answered this question.? I am trying to set up my first crestron home and I want to add in my Unifi Cameras.? I have added a manual camera but when I go back out to the user interface, there are no cameras listed.? Can someone give me a procedure for connecting my Crestron Home to my Unifi Cameras please?


Re: CH5 web panel release

 

I loaded with toolbox and didn't notice the radio button about it being mobile vs xpanel.? Changed it to xpanel and now the url to the processor works:?https://172.16.64.21/ch5-test/index.html However, I don't see the presses in debugger yet.? It feels so close :)


Re: CH5 web panel release

 

you need to load it from the processor, push the ch5z file to the processor and use that link to open the web xpanel


Re: CH5 web panel release

 

After the first load it starts a 60 day count down timer for a free trail.? It is automatic and my timer started today.? From what I read it sounds like you can restore your processor and reset the timer.? This would be for demo purposes, of course.? The command?CRESTRONONETPR? will report the days left.??


Re: CH5 web panel release

 

Does it still require a license on the processor?

Dali driver issue with crestron #lighting #crestron

 

Hi? i am having an issue with the dali driver of led strip,
It shows failure when addressed on the dali commissioning tool but i can control the intensity of the light .
But when i add it to a group for my crestron home app, the?
Slider keeps on changing percentage, the light intensity doesnt change physically but when i try to use the all off command , most of the time it does not shut the strip light because the intensity keeps on changing by itself.

What should i do!


Re: Unable to Show controls on a SRL

 

Completely "normal", how should the panel know if you want to use the slider or if you want to swipe between subpages?


Re: Unable to Show controls on a SRL

 

So it's a vertical gauge on a vertical subpage ref list.
If i put the same referenced subpage on a horizontal subpage ref list, it shows up fine...?


Unable to Show controls on a SRL

 

I put a gauge on a subpage ref.
The subpage ref list, says 'unable to show this control' or something similar. Anyone got ideas to fix?


Re: Baimp Nexia

A router can have only one input selected per output so you don¡¯t have to worry about ¡®cleaning up¡¯ active if you¡¯re using a router; a mixer can have multiple inputs so depending on the size of the mixer if you want to enforce an interlock it may be better to store that output in a series of limited presets to ensure you can¡¯t get into a state where multiple inputs are inadvertently active at the same time.

?

In theory the Crestron modules using the mute will work (as another poster mentioned) but they are very temperamental on the 3 and 4 series so in the couple systems I still have Audias floating around (they¡¯re duct-tape-and-bandaid systems until the client moves into a new building later this year) I just have the RTRMUTEXP commands in an SIO

[Edited Message Follows]

Is there a Router/Mixer module for the Nexia? Or will a preset leave an input active if another preset calls a different input for the same output?
