Jay, thank you very much for the heads-up. I?m using your module suite for quite some time and just realized that I was on a very old version which didn?t provide any handling of the Shelly inputs/buttons. I just did the update and did the corresponding settings in the Shelly device (reading the help helps ?) and it works like a charm. ? Again, thank you very much for your contribution to the Crestron community! ? Cheers, Thorsten ? ? Thorsten, The Crestron-Shelly integration driver set I've written handles everything you are looking for.? I've written modules for pretty much every device that Shelly makes.? You can download it from my GitHub here: Hope this helps Jay

Re: Remote light controls
I haven't done a 3-way but it wouldn't be too hard.? If your
switch locations aren't wired like a typical 3-way but there is
power at each switch location then you could put a Shelly relay at
each location with each switch tied to the switch input on the
relay.? The relay output at remote switch wouldn't be tied to
anything.? Toggling the switch at the remote location would just
trigger some programming logic in the processor to make things
work.
If this is a retrofit and the circuit is wired like a dumb 3-way
then you could use a Shelly 2.5 relay in the location where the
wiring to the load is.? The Shelly 2.5 has two switch inputs so
the local and remote switches would each be wired to the 2.5 as
well as the load.? Again, I believe some programming logic would
be needed to make it operate like a 3-way.??
Dimming would be more of a challenge.? The issue is that
raise/lower logic is typically triggered by a press and hold.? The
challenge is that a typical wall switch just toggles on/off and
there isn't an easy way to implement the press and hold logic.
I hope this all makes sense

Shelly has some interesting products at affordable
prices. Has anyone here converted a 3-way switch to a Shelly
interface? What about dimming in that same scenario?
I didn't see anything that?looked like it was made for a 3-way
switch setup but it just may come down to wiring.
There
is a free Crestron-Bond driver on my GitHub.
Hope this helps

I've found the Shelly products to be very reliable
Have fun with the driver software

Hi,
?
i?ve got a Shelly 1
that is connected to a wall pushbutton.
I?d like to trigger
some events within the SIMPL program.
I?ve configured the
Shelly Button Type as ¡°detached¡±.
I understand I need
to use the ¡°I/O URL actions¡± to communicate with the SIMPL
program and use the ¡°Button short/long pressed URL¡±
functionality of the Shelly.
I guess I need to
create a TCP Server within my SIMPL program to react to
the incoming messages.
Can somebody please
confirm and give me a hint how the URL in the Shelly
configuration needs to be formatted?
?
Thanks,
Thorsten

Re: Sony VPL-VW695ES projector with RS-232 control
OK thanks!
I would chalk it up to a localized anomaly, if Sony Support didn't say that we're not supposed to connect both RS232 and IP...Mmmmmm...

Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today
My latest article, "Valencell Showcases New Fingertip Blood Pressure Monitor at CES¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, can increase a person's risk for heart attacks, stroke, other health problems, and death. At CES, Valencell is showing a next generation blood pressure monitor that totally eliminates the inflatable blood pressure cuff required by today's monitors.? Valencell's new fingertip monitor will make the process of measuring anyone's blood pressure much easier and less error prone.
You can find the article here:
Noteworthy also is SwitchBot's announcement of a new Hub 2 that includes the Matter protocol.? This will allow SwitchBot products to be controlled locally instead of through their current cloud API.? The announcement of the SwitchBot Hub 2 can be found 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:
Thanks

Re: Marantz NR1711 AVR - IP Control via SMW
Yes, we have about half a dozen of the Episode 5.1 guys out in the wild. It¡¯s built exactly like every other Snap product, meaning its nice enough. ?It¡¯s more powerful then you would expect given the modest output and it actually sounds pretty good. ?It is very limited on it¡¯s ins and outs but for what it has to work with it¡¯s implemented well. ?Switching is smooth, mounting is nice and there¡¯s a module on the website for it that if I remember correctly is just barely adequate. It also has a web GUI for setup. ?I haven¡¯t had any issues with any of them so far. ?The control is pretty solid as I believe it¡¯s being marketed directly towards the C4 people like all the Triad stuff is. ?I¡¯d give it an 8 out of 10 if expectations are reasonable. ?For a while it was the only 5.1 I could get at all under $1500 so in they went. ?Give it a shot, I¡¯d use one at my house if there was a need.

Re: Simpl hangs at Standard Functionality v1.3 while compiling for a DMPS-100-C
Assuming you already tried ALT+F12 (Recompile All) and/or recompiling from a new folder on your desktop, try rebooting the PC, uninstalling SIMPL+ Cross Compiler from "Add or Remove Programs", and then reinstalling it before reattempting compile.??

Re: Simpl hangs at Standard Functionality v1.3 while compiling for a DMPS-100-C
When it freezes, open up Task Manager, go to the Users tab (this is for Windows 10 or 11), expand your username and end any "GNU_Make.exe" tasks. Your compile should complete, usually with an error message about the module it got stuck on. Just recompile it again until you get a good compile. It may take several tries. Sometimes closing SIMPL, deleting the?SPlsWork folder for the project and then recompiling also helps. Eventually it will work!

Re: DMPS-300-C With Shure SLX4 Control
The mic levels use signed integers (-800d to +100, as I recall).? You can use an ASCALEL to take the feedback from the DMPS mic level and scale it to 0-100% to send to the touchpanel, or do some messing around with the bargraph element in VT-Pro to show the appropriately scaled value.
