Re: VisionTools - compilation issue

 

Trying to remember what I have done in the past to fix this.

I believe I had to move the file to a new folder, rename the file, save the file under a new name or a combination of all these.
Re: Cool automation v2.1 Modules

 

I have used the Coolpoint many times on Daikin and Mitsubishi splits and VRV. It works perfectly. As with the normal AC system remote, the Power_OFF and Power_ON are the unit Off/On in its same state. Mode changes H/C/F? and SP adjust Set Point. Only word of caution is don't display Room Temp to the user, unless you have a separate wall mounted sensor in a good place, otherwise it measures the temp in the return plenum by the fan coil, and this is wildly different from the RT. My usual TP layout is a simple ON/OFF, SP with UP/DN and MODE. Sometimes louvre control if appropriate.
VisionTools - compilation issue

Put this on a pc with multiple USB audio cards or Dante?

We've used it and it worked well
Cool automation v2.1 Modules

 

Hi All,
I'm integrating my first mini-split system (mitsubishi) with the Cool Automation setup with the v2.1 modules.
Unlike the Crestron stats, the CA modules do not have a Mode_OFF commands. I have discussed with their tech people and they said to use the Power_OFF for Mode OFF, which makes sense for this kind of unit.
This begs the question - does selecting an operating mode (Cool, Heat, etc) automatically turn the system on and select the mode? or do I have to send it the ON command and then the Mode command?

TIA!!

Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

My latest article, "How the Everything Set Box Handles Smart Home Network Security¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

Network security in a smart home is becoming more, and more, of an issue.? Everything Set is introducing a new network security appliance, the Everything Set box that uses AI to monitor devices connected to a homeowner's network for malicious activity, including smart devices.? The article explores this new product offering and how it focuses on security while maintaining the privacy of the homeowners.

You can find the article here:

Multizone Audio Player with Scheduler

 

Please suggest a cheap stand alone audio player which can play some stored music files based on schedule. Preferred minimum 4 zones and a web based scheduler. Something similar to this but with more zones.

Here is part of the code I wrote for reading xml data from a file for a module I have that tracks the angle and elevation of the sun, compares that with data for each window, and automates the operation of shades based on whether the sun is shining through a window or not.

??????????????? {

??????????????? //open xml file

??????????????? xr.MoveToContent();
??????????????? doc = XDocument.Load(xr);

??????????????? #region Read General Information
??????????????? XElement generalElement = doc
??????????????????? .Element("ShadeInformation")
??????????????????? .Element("GeneralInformation");

?? ???? ??? ??? if (((string)generalElement.Element("version")) == null)??? ??? //Check if version is embedded in XML file

?? ???? ??? ??? else
?? ???? ??? ??? {

?? ???? ??? ??? }

??????????????? latitude = Convert.ToDouble(generalElement.Element("latitude").Value);

??????????????? longitude = Convert.ToDouble(generalElement.Element("longitude").Value);

??????????????? magnetic_declination_degrees = Convert.ToDouble(generalElement.Element("magnetic_declination_degrees").Value);

Re: AVpro Edge MXnet

 

I would expect end of year or into early January due to final testing requirements and holidays. Earlier if everything is good but always planning for worse case.
Re: AVpro Edge MXnet

 

Great. ?Thank you. ?I will let my clients know. ? About a month?
Re: AVpro Edge MXnet

 

Not currently, our updated driver modules will include this capability. I'll post here when they are available in the next month or two.
The drivers are redone and will have more capability and better performance than our current modules.

Re: AVpro Edge MXnet

 

Is there a way to monitor the state of transmitters or receivers so I know if they are online or offline. ?
Re: AVpro Edge MXnet

 

Hi Phil, download our latest models, the driver library issue has already been resolved :)
Thank you!
Re: AVpro Edge MXnet

 

I've been having some trouble with their SIMPL modules as well. Routing works well but we ran into problems with the CBox locking up when there's large amount of traffic over the serial communications modules. I also found out that you can't use the MXNet modules with the latest certified drivers due to library version conflicts. I have tickets for both issues open but I haven't heard back from them in a while. AVPro Edge did say they? reached out to Janus to update the libraries, though.
