Re: VC-4 lack of console for printing msgs
It took some digging a few months back, I believe it was in the manual, I don't remember where I got it.? If you ssh into the box and type?journalctl -u virtualcontrol -f -all?you can watch these messages in real time.??

Re: VC-4 lack of console for printing msgs
I was playing around with a web based console program I wrote. ?I could get print statements to work and was able to get it to allow input of console commands that I added to the S#Pro program. ? ?I have seen similar with Simpl but have not tried it. ?

Re: VC-4 lack of console for printing msgs
I know that CrestronConsole.PrintLine (I don't know about SIMPL+ PRINT or TRACE) definitely shows up in the syslog, so it's not completely gone. https://support.crestron.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1001239?

I have always been a fan of the good old method of printing stuff to console for some basic debugging and even some exception handling (in addition to saving to a log file etc)...? But as we all know, VC-4 does not give us a console.
?
During Master's 2022, I remember seeing their suggestion of outputting "Error" and "Notice" strings to Simpl? so we could watch it in debugger... this looks like an ok idea but it does not help much when trying to debug Simpl#Pro stuff.
I also remember at the first virtual Master's in 2020, I think Toine or one of the other guys developed a quick and dirty way of emulating the console using a telnet connection (I think it was telnet, but I don't remember exactly). This also seemed alright,
but it was definitely unsecured.
?
My question is: anybody out there *created* their own "console emulator" for printing out messages, statuses etc? If yes, what approach did you take?
I'm wondering about creating an SSH Server or something along those lines that I can connect to with Putty or MobaXterm which could give me some resemblance of a console that I can monitor for print/trace statements... but I wonder what some of you guys
recommend?
Does anybody miss the ability to print stuff to console as a means of live debugging or am I the only one?!??It would be so nice if Crestron could create a console for VC-4....
I was never fan of the "attach-to-process" method of debugging because it seems to be pain to get going most of the time and also requires a restart in certain scenarios (which is a no-go if you are trying to catch a bug in the act).?

Re: Crestron Go App (iPad) - strange embedded video issue
So, a quick update on this.
Using the offline extender, I close the video subpages as soon as the iPad goes offline (task switch or power off iPad)
When the app is back in focus it re-connects quickly again. The video subpages are still shown for a few seconds until the panel renders the UI.
Not an ideal fix but better.

What Cisco hardware/firmware?

As far as I'm aware Teams does not yet work on Cisco hardware, there is a press release about integrating with it in future versions;

Crestron Go App (iPad) - strange embedded video issue
I'm currently working on a project that requires embedded video on iPad.
Done loads of these in the past with few(ish) issues.
Here's a new one:
With the Embedded Video subpage active on the iPad:
* Task switch away from the app or hit the iPad power button.
* Switch back to the app or turn the iPad back on
The Connecting to System message pops up for a long time (spinner frozen)
Eventually the app will connect and display the embedded video subpage.
On only one occasion (so far), when I task switched away from the Crestron app, the Video window was left frozen on-screen above the iPad desktop. Power off/on cleared it.
Note this was only the video part of the subpage frozen on screen, not the rest of the subpage.
With no embedded video window showing, tasking away/back is almost instant.
Likewise with power off/on.
Seems like the app is screwing the iPad memory when embedded video is showing.
App also crashed once, when switching between cameras.
Crestron Go-Tablet v1.0.24
iOS 14.4.2
iPad Mini (5th Gen)
Crestron Go settings:
Lock Configuration - off
Lock Orientation - Landscape
Auto-reconnect - on
Check for Update - on
Logging Enabled - off
Hide Demo - on
Use improved H.264 Player - on
I did try with improved H.264 Player off, but the only cameras I could display on my network were Axis.
Lillen, Y-Cam & Grandstream would not display.

Re: Honeywell Vista-21IPSIA
#simpl
I don't like the 4232CBM, primarily because there's no discrete zone status feedback. You can somewhat trigger things using an SIO connected to the keypad display, but that leaves a lot to be desired.
However, it's still better than nothing, and is super easy to get working.

I just upgraded my iPhone to a 14 and after setting everything up the Crestron Go APP is locking up every time I rotate the phone. I have tried to lock rotation and lock configuration. It still tries to rotate and then goes blank and or just locks up. I am forced to close out and re-open. Really a pain since if I don't keep the phone level, I'm screwed.? I tried using Crestron APP instead and same results. I have tried deleting and re-adding them to no avail.
Any ideas?

Re: Honeywell Vista-21IPSIA

Awesome, thanks for the help guys. I'll be implementing next week and will update with how well it works. I've done a bunch of the 128/250's but this is the first time I've come across this model.

It uses the 4232CBM serial adapter, and accompanying Simpl module.

Have you tried updating the program to use the latest module version, or tested with the v4 demo?

Re: Crestron Home simple relay driver
The CCD SDK (the SDK required for extension devices in Crestron Home) doesn't provide access to the general processor hardware directly, but you could write a driver to fire events and hook it up that way.
I doubt there's a driver already written that does exactly what you want, so the "DIY" open is probably your best bet - though the CCD SDK is a bit of a minefield!
Best of luck,
Oliver

Compiling it gives an error: "SimplSharpParseJson.usp :

Is it possible to just replace the common DLL files in the CLZ with new ones?
Obviously the best case scenario is that that I would have the VS2008 solution
and related files to be recompiled.
