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.

VC-4 lack of console for printing msgs

 

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: 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.

Tony, What is your recent experience with the Vista-20 and the CBM module,
particularly if you've compared it with the 128/250BPT systems? TIA!!


Crestron Go (&APP) on iPhone 14 locking up #crestronapp

 

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?
Dan


Re: Honeywell Vista-21IPSIA #simpl

 

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.

Re: Honeywell Vista-21IPSIA #simpl

 

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?

i use cisco room devices 3.4 and xhen i receive a meeting invitation from teams i can't join the meeting. when i click on the ''JoinActiveBooking''button, nothing happens.

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

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.


Re: DSC PowerSeries Neo

 

Did you log in with a dealer/partner level account at support.crestron.com to gain access to the Online Help article?

I did login to try to read this article, but it says "the answer is no longer available".?

I wrote to Crestron True Blue support, they gave me a detailed explanation and solution with screen shots. I'm happy to share it here but I have no way to upload photos and screenshots.?

?

Anyway the problem is resolved now. Thanks everyone for your help!


Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

My latest article, "Health and Fitness Tracking with the Withings ScanWatch¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

Apple and Google have both recently released new smart watches.? However, if you don't need to make phone calls from your watch or to control your smart home on the watch's tiny screen, there is another option.? The Withings ScanWatch is a hybrid smart watch with advanced health, fitness, and sleep tracking features.? And, unlike a traditional smart watch, it boasts a massive 30 day battery life between charges.? A feature that traditional smart watches can't come close to equaling.? Finally, you don't have to give up all the features of a traditional smart watch; such as reading text messages on the watch's display as they arrive.

You can find the article here:



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

Re: Does anyone have an AirMedia 2 series operating system image?

 

No, we have 200s that technically belong to customers as spares. I'm sure a handful of people have sandbox units or old ones from dated installs. Just curious if someone has tried it/has managed to pull a file
