Re: Send myself a text when....
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI would also throw out that I believe there are other advantages
to using a notification service, like PushOver.? Living in the
west, we use the Do Not Disturb setting on our phones to keep from
being woken up by group texts from friends on the east coast who
don't think about the fact that someone on the list is several
time zones away when they send an early morning text.?? PushOver,
and some of the other notification services, allow you to
prioritize the notifications your processor sends with different
priorities.? So, some can have a low priority that obeys the do
not disturb setting but others can have a high priority that
includes a sound even in the middle of the night.? Finally, PushOver and Vybit include the ability to use different
sounds for different notifications.? My wife and I do a great deal
of mountain biking during the summer.? I send out notifications
through PushOver whenever our WeatherFlow Tempest weather station
detects lightning.? These have a custom sound so we don't have to
look at our phone while riding to know that there is a
thunderstorm approaching and it is time to head home.? Hope this helps Jay

The problem with using the email to text gateways from the cell phone providers is they have recently started putting all kinds of antispam filters on the gateways that block any sort of suspicious messages and you can't count on them working all the time. I'd been sending texts from my Crestron system for years through those email gateways but they just got too unreliable so I looked for another way. My alternative is to have an old Android phone on a $8/month account with US Cellular. Using an Android program called Automagic I can send a simple HTTP Get request from the Crestron system to that phone and it will trigger an event that sends me texts on the cellular network directly. This has been working well for a while, though it's a total cludge. |

I would also send those same messages via email at the same time, but that got snarky as the email providers put up stronger measures to stop the spammers from using their SMTP networks. The Cestron emails don't seem to have all the authentication data that Comcast, Gmail and others want to see to accept and send emails. I set up a free Sendgrid SMTP account and that's been working well for a long time. |

Elk M1G security panel with C1M1 module. Feedback but no control
I have an Elk M1G that I'm trying to control IP in SIMPL through a C1M1 module. I am getting all proper feedback and status updates but for some reason I can't arm/disarm. I'm working with the security contractor and they've set the G29-G42 sections to checked for keypad, zones and output changes. I don't know of any other setup or configuration that's required. Anybody have any advice or recommendations on what I might try?

Clearone Converge PRO 2 - ProcBlock control
I am using the Clearone ConvergePro2 v1.2 IP demo project to control a ClearOne Converge Pro2 128VT.
I have control of the unit but I am unclear on how to control the "ProcBloc" entities which were configured by the DSP contractor.? Control of the MicLine in and Outs works fine. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be helpful. Thanks. |

Re: PAC 2 third party integration
While it will not talk to the PAC2, you could install a small 3/4 Series processor and EISC to the PAC2. Then that RTI widget would talk to the newly installed 3/4 Series processor. He would also need the source code running on the PAC2 to be able to make this kludgy solution work.?

Re: Send myself a text when....
I know At&t supports e-mail to text.? All I had to do to confirm that is send a e-mail to (my phone number minus the 1 and no dashes)@txt.att.net? Within 5 seconds the e-mail showed up as a text on my phone.? The logic should be no problem.? Just have to figure out how to use that send e-mail module in the C data base.? It does say it works with 2 series.? I don't think I need any other service to make it work.

Re: PAC 2 third party integration
It is definitely possible, especially if you just want to do simple things like trigger room presets (or toggle a few loads).
If you would want to get into full lighting interface with direct load control (0-100%, etc) that would not be easy or worth the effort. Also, Do you have access to the current source code? without it, it would require a complete re-write of the code to even change a preset. Its unlikely that the source is stored on the processor. Getting the Source code from the original client/family or dealer would be my first order of business. Please reach out to me if you'd like to review options or to see if I can help you... chris at eicustom dot com |
