I'll just throw in my $.02 since I've done a lot of work with integrating the Hubitat Elevation Hub with a Crestron processor in the SimplWindows world.? I've had email conversations with WIlliam, the principal at NC Systrems.? I'm not sure he is part of this group so I'll just say he is using the same approach as I have for integration and while he only supports a few device types right now, he has told me he plans on adding more support to his CH driver over time.

Personally, I use a lot of devices integrated with my Crestron system through the Hubitat in my own home.? I have found it to be a very stable and reliable platform.? The integration has been rock solid.? The Hubitat, like a Crestron processor, executes everything locally on the hub so it isn't reliant on a cloud service or active Internet connection.?

That being said, when I wrote the article on Crestron-Hubitat integration for Residential Tech Today a few years ago, I found that if you send commands too fast to the Hubitat you can overload that pathway.? So, for example, an all off command that sends 20 individual commands to turn off lights is going to be a problem.? There is an easy work around for this.? The Hubitat allows you to create a light group that combines any number of lights into a single entity.? So, a single command to turn on/off the group will turn on/off all lights in the group.? I haven't tested this recently on the latest C-8 Hubitat hub. However, I expect that while the faster C-8 will handle things better, there will still be limitations.?

I have over 70 devices connected to my Hubitat.? Probably about 1/3 of these are not true devices but are virtual that only exist in software.? I use virtual devices to trigger Alexa routines from my Crestron processor and to integrate with devices whose only integration is through IFTTT (without a port forward on the router).? For example, a sensor in my mailbox is triggered when the mail is delivered and then an announcement is made on all the Alexa devices in my home that the mail has arrived.?

The article is very long and detailed but if you want to learn more about Crestron-Hubitat integration the article is located here:

For those still working in the SimplWindows world my Crestron-Hubitat SimplWindows driver can be found here:

Hope this helps

Very interesting.

Will definitely email them to see if there are any limitations or restrictions I need to be aware of.

Thanks again mate.

BBC Services used to be available on TuneIn.
Now they are acting like complete dicks and it got switched off a while back. Real bummer for those of us using MMS?

Hi Charlie

Thanks Justyn, Im assuming this is something to do with whomever is providing the streaming database to crestron so possibly not a crestron issue.......... so just means it won't get fixed anytime soon.?

Ive heard though the grapevine that BBC changed something with their streaming a few weeks ago and its also effected other manufactures (autonomic).

Hi Charlie

Hi All,?

Our jobs with NAX units appear to have lost the ability to stream any of the BBC radio channels.?
We got the "Oops there's been a problem" popup so we deleted the favourites and now the BBC channels don't even show up in the search!!

Anybody have the same or have access to an NAX to see if its the same for them!

Thanks

Enable debugging on the module, and let it tell you what the error is. These modules are very sensitive so if an electrician was doing something while the module was powered up then it's probably fried.

If you look at the installation guide, it says the 1-2 error code means
"Communications to the corresponding dimming processor have failed. Reboot the unit or contact Crestron customer service.."

So if a reboot does not take care of it, it is probably RMA time.

The most common error I have seen with this is a 2-2 error code which means a shorted FET -- probably because someone overloaded the module. ? Also RMA time when this happens.

One license per processor.

Would we have to pay multiple licenses then? or just a single license (per processor).

The 16 devices is per room/tile. Multiple instances of the driver can be installed, with up to 16 devices per instance.

Yea they used to have a Gateway Backup/Restore in Toolbox.

Gateway Backup/Restore functions are still available in Toolbox.
You need to connect to the gateway first (in Text Console, System Info, etc.), and then access it from the Functions menu. (It isn't found in the Tools menu.)
?

That seems somewhat interesting, thanks @brewernv.

They mention a limitation for 16 devices only, is that per room/tile? or in total?

Reseated all cards in DM frame

PJ RMC rcvr still not functioning

Used stand-alone POE injector – PJ RMC rcvr OK

Moved POE back to POE switch – still OK

Had to use my POE injector to get all RMC xmitters working – still worked on POE switch also
suspect Crestron POE switch not supplying enough POE power
recommended client get separate 5-port POE injector to power the RMC's

There is an available Crestron Home Extension driver that supports Shelly lighting devices and provides a UI similar to the one provided by the native CH lighting support. The driver also makes programmable operations available on the Actions & Events page that permits Shelly (and other) devices to be included in native lighting sequences/scenes. The driver depends on the use of a Hubitat automation hub, which is used as a gateway for Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Wi-Fi lighting devices. Driver documentation can be viewed at? ?.??

the client tried a POE injector at the DM, not the room box, still didn't work
i have some P/S but they all have connectors, the RMC-4K-100-C-1G has a phoenix connector
client has tried new cat5, maybe 25' run, so not long
are these boxes that finicky on POE from DM?

I wouldn't recommend this for a client but if it was my home...... Use a Lutron RA2 main repeater and create a bunch of phantom (fake) loads that correspond to your Shelly devices. Then use SIMPL to mirror the feedback of the phantom loads to the input of the Shelly devices. Add the Lutron repeater to CH and then whenever you adjust the phantom loads in CH it will do the same actions to the Shelly devices. If you want to go all out you can also use the feedback on the Shelly devices to drive the input on the RA2 devices and this way if you control the device from the Shelly app it will update its status in CH. The Shelly devices will only live in SIMPL and the Lutron devices will be in both SIMPL and CH.?
