Re: Shelly button press

 
Edited

ah, I see. I need to set Shelly I/O URL Actions.

All set.


Re: Shelly button press

 
Edited

Jay @jbasen ,
I'm running v23.1 (Dimmer v6) with a Shelly Wall Dimmer and I receive no feedback from button presses (nor local brightness which I think I understand is a limitation of Shelly). I've tried all the Input signals with no luck.?
I need to keep dimmer state consistent with my Crestron system, and am OK with polling, but I need an event to drive the poll.

BTW, beautiful job on the modules. I'm new to Shelly, but I had your code up and running first time.?

Thanks,
Jeffrey


Re: CP3 Ethernet Issues

 

I've been battling this issue intermittently with a site for the last few months also...
After a CP3 reboot, things are stable for some period of time (sometimes for months), then the system will grind to a halt.
we don't seem to see general network issues, just issues with the rack equipment which has its own switch and the TSWs with are served from the main network switch...
When I see the issue I also have the same stuff in the logs:

? ?FECTimer: Exceeded Receive Packet Trip Count, dwRxPacketReceived: 4200 in 1000 milliseconds

? ?FECTimer: Ethernet disabled by watchdog

? ?FECTimer: ETH RX re-enabled by watchdog

No streaming AVoIP stuff. Just one sonos player and DirectTV (Moca, but no ethernet connection), Middle Atlantic RackLink devices, DM8x8, (2) Episode AVRs (IP), x52 series TSWs, Luma NVR, etc.
Program is pretty standard for me, nothing like this at other sites.
NO PORT FORWARDs!!!!

It seems weird that rebooting the CP3 would eliminate the issue, for? days, weeks, and sometimes months if it somehow wasn't related...
Anyone found any more info on this??



Re: Add Toggle Dim function to C2N-CB-TS keypad buttons in SIMPL

 

Thanks, that's the one I was looking for. I now remember using it some years back and just forgot.
Years back when I was only programming Crestron, I always said that knowing all the "tools" you have at hand and how/where to use them makes you a better programmer. Nowadays that I don't program Crestron often I can see why.


Re: Add Toggle Dim function to C2N-CB-TS keypad buttons in SIMPL

 

I actually did this yesterday and it created a ton of SIMPL programming. I know I can strip it down to only what I need, but wow!


Re: DSC Neo Integration issues

 

I was just hoping they had. I have a client that had an advent system that died. The security guy replaced it with 2 Elk systems. One for security the other for environmental. I get complaints every few months because of the integration. He wants it to work like three advent panel did, it just won't. The biggest reasons it won't, is because that Advent supported all 400 zones on one system and it was full keypads emulation.

Re: DSC Neo Integration issues

 

I don't believe the Elk modules have changed in many years.? So, they don't support full keypad emulation.? That being said, I have always found that they support the basic functions a homeowner needs to operate the alarm system including the ability to enter a pass code, buttons to arm/disarm the alarm system in home mode, away mode, vacation mode, bypassing zones, etc.? They also have a keypad module that allows the user to "press" one of the function keys programmed on the real keypad.

I don't believe you could ever get into the programming menus through what Elk offers but I believe basic operation for a homeowner is supported.

If the house hasn't been wired for any keypads then I would just install one next to the alarm panel itself for programming and the few functions a homeowner might want beyond what the modules support.

I have one keypad in my own home and never use it.? On each CLW keypad next to a door the bottom button is an "Exit" button.? It shuts down everything in the home, enables energy saving functions, and arms the alarm system.? When we come home, typically entering the house through the garage, we issue a voice command to an Alexa speaker in the garage "I'm home XXXX" where XXXX is a pass code.? That triggers an Alexa routine that triggers the Crestron system to cancel all the energy saving functions that were initiated by the Exit button and disarms the alarm.?? At night, it also turns on pathway lights in the home.

I'm not a fan of using a geofence to arm/disarm an alarm system. It can work reasonably well if there is only one person living in a home but the more people the more problematic it becomes.? All it takes is one person to leave the phone at home because they forgot to charge it and the system falls apart.

While having the ability to arm/disarm the alarm system through a touch panel is a necessity, a combination of Alexa and a keypad is much easier for day to day operation.? Making the user speak a pass code as part of an Alexa routine to disarm the alarm provides reasonable security and since the Alexa smart speakers will be under a homeowners Amazon account, they can easily change it themselves.

We also have an Alexa routine triggered by "goodbye" that does the same thing as the Exit button but we find ourselves using the button much more than the voice command.

Re: DSC Neo Integration issues

 


I¡¯ve always liked the Elk alarm panels.? Very good integration and the protocol documentation is available from Elk.? So, if the integration modules don¡¯t include a feature you need you can add it yourself?

Not sure about support

Re: DSC Neo Integration issues

 

Well that sucks!

So what alarm brand is everyone using that is compatible with alarm.com and Simpl programable?

This house was not wired for alarm keypads and the homeowner was promised that he could use the Crestron TPs to arm and dissarm the alarm.


Re: Add Toggle Dim function to C2N-CB-TS keypad buttons in SIMPL

 

Of the top of my head I would probably use the press hold module, a toggle, 2 and's and a ramp. The hold would trigger the toggle and the 2 and's. One output of the toggle would go to one and, and the other to the other and. The outputs of the 2 and's would drive the ramp.

I have done this a long time ago, I don't remember the exact logic I used. But I do know that I created a D3 project that was just one light and one press, compiled and opened the Simpl and reversed engineered the logic from there.

Hi,

I have a new request from a old project to add Toggle Dim to some of the keypad buttons. This project was completed some years ago and we programmed the buttons to only Toggle the light(s) on/off with each button PRESS. This was all done in SIMPL, not using D3. Was hoping someone has a Simpl example of how I could add this functionality to the current SIMPL program. I know the keypad includes HOLD functionality per button, but was hoping for a module that includes this.


Thank you!


Re: Add Toggle Dim function to C2N-CB-TS keypad buttons in SIMPL

 

Take a look at the Crestron Module: press and hold v1.2 (cm)
It will give you a separate 'Not Held' and 'Held' outputs that you can take separately from your button press to your toggle logic and Cycle Dim logic.

You might start with reviewing this previous thread...Unless things have changed recently, you may continue to be disappointed...
