Sonos Beam Crestron AV integration
We have a requirement to integrate Sonos Beams into 6 bedrooms.
Setup is as follows: Watch: * Sony Bravia TV * Local Apple TV plugged into the Bravia * Head-end satellite sources * Head-end Bluray * Local HDMI wall input plugged into the Bravia Listen: * Sonos Beam for online content playback In past scenario's where we have needed to switch to a line input on the Sonos Port, I've been able to get round the Crestron source switching by adding the Line-Input to Sonos Favorite's. This kludge does work as long as the user does not remove the Line-input from Favourits. I was hoping to use a similar approach for the HDMI switching on the Beam but there is simply no way to add the TV to Favourites.? The situation I have: > User selects a video source, TV turns on and sound from the TV is played back through eARC on the Beam. Lovely jubbly. > User then selects the Sonos Beam and plays music. Requirement is that the TV stays on so they can still view while listening to music. This works fine. > User sees something interesting on TV and now wants to listen to the TV sound. There is no way to force the Beam back onto HDMI without having to use the Sonos App. Has anyone had to deal with this situation? If so what work-arounds do you use? slip |

Re: Hubitat thermostat control
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI figured it out, I was testing using the single setpoint input, and Ecobee doesn't support that. When I started using the heat and cool setpoint inputs it worked like a champ. An analog increment limited to the range of the stat plus a delay on the send input did the trick. A two digit analog is what its looking for. Thanks Jay, this works great.

Re: B&O Beovision Harmony
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi JimYes, we have integrated a Harmony with Crestron. There is a Crestron module available to download from B&O that works very well. You just have to be careful to use the IP address of the sound bar and not the LG panel that is shown when you view the IP config on the TV. The module is available to download on the B&O 3rd party integration website. Just google B&O Crestron module. It gives you true power and source selection FB etc etc. Let me know if you need any further info. We¡¯re also B&O dealers which helps!

Re: Pro2 available
Will do. I need to check with the client. Also may want the 8x.? Thnx. On Thu, Mar 23, 2023 at 6:16?AM Rob <rob@...> wrote: Hey Scott, I've got one if you're still in need. Shoot me an offer. |

Re: NVX to AVR woes
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYou might try sending the 363 output directly through the extender, bypassing AVR, as another step in isolating the roadblock. ? From: <[email protected]> on behalf of John Gabler <ComeAlive@...> ? I have a NVX-363 feeding a Arcam AVR to Sony Display via AVPRO EDGE Balun.? All my local source display fine.? But distro source don't display at all.? I can see the 363 is getting the stream, just not through the AVR.? I currently have the 363 scaling to 1080P with hopes that might fix it.? Any thoughts or experiences? |

B&O Beovision Harmony
And I thought I'd never have to work with B&O again.
So a client just had this land at their house and the guy that came out and set it up said "sure it integrates with Crestron, no problem".? He then left and isn't returning calls. I'm contacting B&O, but before I go through all of that does anyone have experience integrating with a Beovision Harmony display?? It's an LG OLED with B&O speakers on the front that fold out when it's turned on.? Think murderous android peacock. I did find some integration code on the B&O support site, but it's fairly generic and the sample code didn't work for me. TIA, Jim?? |

Re: NVX to AVR woes
Typically we use dedicated NVX per endpoint. One for TV, one for AVR/Processor, so that we dont have to deal?with any HDMI Extender issues. However we've done plenty of systems where the NVX sits right at the AVR, HDMI Directly from AVR to a local TV and have had no issues. Can you bring a TV locally to the AVR and bypass using the AVPro Edge extender? When you said you see the 363 getting the stream, you are referring to the live preview window? In my experience if the Preview window is working correctly and you still dont have video, it's an issue with AVR/Extender.?

Re: Repeat IR Commands
#simplwindows
About the only easy way you can increase the number of repeats beyond what Crestron allows is to hold the IR input high in your program using something like the pulse stretching symbol.? However, depending on the processor, it may get terminated early if the processor receives another IR command.? With something like the MC3, sending a IR command out of any port will terminal the IR previously being sent on another port.?
The CP3 is better.? There all 8 IR ports are independent.? As long as you have your Samsung TV as the only device on an IR port, you don't have to worry about the command getting terminated early unless you send another command to the Samsung TV. But there is a way to make the IR code last as long as what you want and it will work on any Crestron processor without having to worry about early termination.? That is to modify the IR driver and put all the repeat codes you want in the header section.? You can use something like Geoff's IR program to modify the IR driver.? Or you could just modify the code hex for the Samsung IR driver manually and import it into back into the driver. |

Re: NEC P525UL
This is not a direct answer to your question, but I thought this might be helpful for you and a number of folks who might not be aware that it exists. Since 2016ish, all NEC projector and pro display models (to my knowledge) have utilized NEC's Common ASCII Control Command Protocol in parallel to their standard hex protocol. It is very simple and quite human readable, so it may be worth a look to see if it helps you get the job done sooner.

NEC P525UL
Running into an interesting issue while trying some SIMPL+ practice building a module for NEC P525UL module. I know most of this is probably better done within SIMPL windows but figured I'd have a go. I've got commands sending and being parsed just fine, the issue comes into play when we are polling the projector every x seconds and what happens when a button press is also triggered at the same time. This is causing my response from the projector to contain both responses in one...Wouldn't be that big of a problem if this specific NEC protocol had a constant delimiter, however most commands end in a check sum and especially for a status request with 22 bytes the ending checksum could be a variety of characters. I've been using a find() to get an integer where the first 6 bytes of the response match (these 6 bytes will remain constant). and then doing something like:
If(find("\x20\xBF\x01\x40\x10\x02", NEC_Projector_Rx$) > 0) {
i = find("\x20\xBF\x01\x40\x10\x02", NEC_Projector_Rx$);
Trace("Basic Information Request Received");
//Projector Power Status
Projector_Operation_Status$ = mid(NEC_Projector_Rx$, (i + 6), 1);
If(Projector_Operation_Status$ = "\x04")
{
NEC_PowerOn_fb = 1;
NEC_PowerOff_fb = 0;
//clearbuffer(Projector_Rx_Gather$);
}
Else
{
NEC_PowerOff_Fb = 1;
NEC_PowerOn_Fb = 0;
//clearbuffer(Projector_Rx_Gather$);
}
//Projection Image Displayed
Projector_Content_Displayed$ = mid(NEC_Projector_Rx$, (i + 7), 1);
If(Projector_Content_Displayed$ = "\x00")
{
Trace("Video Signal Displayed");
}
Else If(Projector_Content_Displayed$ = "\x01")
{
Trace("No Video Signal At Projector");
}
Projector_Freeze_Status$ = mid(NEC_Projector_Rx$, (i + 14), 1);
If(Projector_Freeze_Status$ = "\x00")
{
NEC_FreezeIsOn_fb = 0;
//NEC_FreezeIsOff_fb = 1;
}
Else
{
NEC_FreezeIsOn_fb = 1;
//NEC_FreezeIsOff_fb = 0;
}?
clearbuffer(NEC_Projector_Rx$);
?
}
This seems to work fine but for some reason seems to still throw off my feedback when two commands get triggered at once because of the status polling on an oscillator we have going. I'm at the point now where I'm thinking it would be best to keep all command/response parsing within SIMPL as a SIO seems to do a good job at preventing this occurrence from happening. FYI, fresh out of 301 and fairly new to Crestron programming? |

Repeat IR Commands
#simplwindows
Greetings all,
For general purpose with an RTI control system I've been able to control frame TV via ir with numerous repeats. I can't remember the exact number on the top of my head but it was 18-20 repeats. What is the best way to say create, or modify standard most model Samsung IR codes and apply a set number of repeats so that when the programming shoots out the power commands/art mode commands it will repeat accordingly to what I need? EDIT: I read the Device Learner section and can see where I can adjust. However, there is a maximum limit of 15 repeats. Is there a way to get it to go higher than that to hit the 18-20 repeats the frames use? |
