Re: DSC PowerSeries Neo

 

I have a Crestron integrator working on this since last Nov 22, and we encountered bugs with the DSC drivers, so he contacted TrueBlue support and Crestron actually acknowledge the bug and they pull out the driver. They say they're still fixing the problem (around mid-Feb), I'm not sure if there's an update on this, did they release a new driver already??
Re: DSC PowerSeries Neo

 

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either, the first few times I had to use a CCD. But that's how it is with all CCD drivers for serial or IP control. The two simplest (if you can call it that) ways to see exactly which functions a driver supports are:

1. Actually add it to a program and load it to a processor, then use Debugger to check the state of the "Feature is Supported" outputs.

2. Open the driver's included dat file in Notepad++ (or similar) and use the JSON Viewer plugin to view the information.

While doing either of the above, it's also a good idea to look over the Connection and User Attribute sections for important setup information. Although it's not really as bad as it sounds, it's still somewhat of a pain, especially compared to the "old way" where everything was plainly spelled out in a PDF.

IR through HD-EXT3-C-B

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I am running a DMPS3-300-C that is currently using HDMI 1 and DM port 3 and 4. I would like to put a HD-EXT3-C-B on HDMI 2. Would I be able to run an IR line off one of the IR connections on the DMPS and then pass it through the EXT pair so I can control a display on the RX side of the EXT pair? The IR needs to control a display that is 20ft away from the DMPS.

Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

My latest article, "Integrating Alexa Routines with Third-Party Smart Home Platforms¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

Alexa enabled smart speakers are the most popular smart speakers being produced today.? Almost every third-party smart home platform supports the ability to trigger actions on their platform using voice commands spoken to an Alexa enabled speaker.? However, integration beyond voice commands can be challenging.? This article looks at techniques for integrating Alexa routines with third-party smart home platforms.

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:

Pass Serial String Into Module

 

Folks -?

I am using the Fusion SSI Help Message Module, and in the middle parameter section, it has a place to insert predetermined serial string messages. Does anyone know if/what syntax would be to fill the parameter section from outside the module dynamically?

I want to change the messages on the fly without recompiling and pushing.

Is there a prefix and suffix to use?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

HTTPS Get Request????????

?

Any help would be appreciated as I¡¯m going around in circles and more confused than when I started¡­.lol


Requirement:? https GET request to the Solar Edge Monitoring site to return Solar Panel Data


Assumptions:

1. SIMPL can not handle https request using SIO only http
2. API Key required

My initial thoughts were to use httpsUtilityv2.1? I have tried a number of times and either got nothing or error codes.???? I¡¯ve confused myself as to what I did now and how I got what I got ??

?

Question:

1. Can I use the httpsUtility module to do this request
2. If so the Utility I believe has 3 data entries:?How should I enter the https GET request below within the utility?????????I have used Postman as you will see below and this works fine.

?

a.?????? url$

b.?????? headers$

c.?????? content$

?

3.?Any additional pointers as to where I can learn about how to send https requests in SIMPL / SIMPL+ would be appreciated.? ? ? This is very much a new area for me and trying hard to understand but lost at the moment.??

Re: DSC PowerSeries Neo

 

I haven't been back to that site, and I think the dealer and homeowner have abandoned alarm integration for now.

Crestron has put the driver back on the CCD site, but I don't have any upcoming projects that will need it, and don't have a panel available to test. When I reviewed the dat file, it didn't seem to support keypad emulation or discrete zone status. Hopefully I missed something :-)

Re: NAX - troubling streams #nax

 
Edited

Indeed, I mean, for me as a programmer I couldn't care less about how many interconnects they have to do (lol).? For the price point of NAX to also include an Autonomic it almost becomes easier to just use a better dummy audio distribution solution in some cases, which we do.? Surprisingly, I have found the Autonomic audio distribution to be pretty rock solid for analog systems!? But thats not really on topic.

kind of defeats the purpose of AES67
But even using Autonomic (or outboard Sonos players, etc.) this is still a very handy function - eliminates the gobs of loop-thru jumpers and allows for de-centralized units to share all the sources...

+1 for Autonomic now that they have the AMB to add Apple Music, etc. - and hopefully they're resolve the MMS HW failure issues that they've had in the past...

As an aside, I'm a fan of using multiple MMS-1e units (ex: one for each user), which among other benefits, eliminates the single-chassis failure issue. if you loose one, you still have the others to keep you going...

Re: Alpha America Sign Example

 

I also have worked extensively with this product and have a fairly good amount of "practical" information that I have extracted in short form from the documentation. I have written at least a couple of useful modules that provide a number of parameter based presets of various colors as well as dynamically editable presets of various colors. I can post some details if you are still in need.
Re: Q_SYS Crestron Certified Modules version 5.0 and 5.1 #cp4 #q-sys

 

Never digged too deep for this bug, I just put a buffer on all inputs within this module, and enable the buffer by the initial input from the core module, error gone.
Re: NAX - troubling streams #nax

 

Thanks for all the replies chaps,

The main AV CP3 sits on our service VLAN-4
The 5 Sonos players are on the user VLAN-3 and these are handled by a second CP3 on the user VLAN.

I've changed my logic slightly and now start the stream based on the following:
* Update status - sets an IL
* Valid Multicast address
* NAX is online (using offline manager device extender for each of the NAX units)
* Sonos CP3 online

So far I have not implemented setting the port.

The above hoop jumping seems to be favorable, however I'll hold off judgement until I've tested this some more.

@Eric Luckard
The IT guys have combed over the network and they are satisfied that it is up to task.
The management ports on the NAX's are on the user VLAN. The content ports are on a dedicated NVX/NAX VLAN.
No issues with NVX.

There are a total of 6 x DM-NAX-8ZSA on this site.
The 5 Sonos units are in the head end connected to the 2 DM-NAX-8ZSA that I mentioned previously and these need to be streamed to all the remote DM-NAX-8ZSA's.
Re: toggle problem

 

Hi Tony,

I'll need to look into why that email address bounced back as that email address should still be valid.? At this point, I think it makes sense to stop charging for the tool as interest in it has fallen off a cliff over the last several years.? I'll send you a download link for it at some point today.

Thanks,
Geoff

Re: NAX - troubling streams #nax

Hi Slip

We are currently working through a very similar issue with TB. Our current config has been stable for a couple of weeks now, with the biggest change being to set the IP config manually, FYI my tech was unable to do this using the Web UI so had to use text console.

We are also about to enable Auth on the NAX units today as we have also been experiencing a loss of control with Mediaplayer on the control system.

Good luck

Regards

Justyn

Interesting, the LG C1 is also a consumer device...
If you already have this display and can thinker with it I'd recommend trying out this :

¡±To bring up IP Control configuration, first open up TV¡¯s Settings Menu. Keep the Network icon focused, then enter numerical key 828888 using TV¡¯s IR Remote¡±
This should bring the IP control hidden menu and you should be able to follow the CCD Guide to create the IP control. also there's another old post that can be helpful.
