Re: Apple TV Select Button

 

As luck would have it, got our first dealer call yesterday reporting exactly the same thing. To solve it I used a press and hold to receive interface presses. Both outputs on the press and hold connect to independent buffers, one buffer for pressed and one for held commands. The output of each buffer is jammed with the same IR command, in turn allowing a press and hold to trigger the same IR command, just for different durations.? For my PNH parameters I set hold time to? .5s and for my output pulse time 1t.

I can give you my working example if you need it.


Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

My latest article, "My Experience with Lucyd¡¯s Bluetooth Audio Glasses¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

Quite a few companies have tried, unsuccessfully, to make smart glasses.? Lucyd takes a different approach with their Lucyd Lyte glasses.? I had the opportunity to try a pair and explored how useful these glasses really are and how they can be leveraged in a smart home.

You can find the article here:



For those interested in earlier articles that I've written, you can find those here:

Re: Comcast (xFinity) Voice and the TSR-310

 

Interesting, thanks Dave!
Questions, regarding Custom applications:
1. It looks like Crestron is NOW recommending connecting only to 5ghz, and preferably a dedicated 5ghz SSID. Correct??? (I believe that the best practice used to be ONLY 2.4ghz...)
2. If #1 confirmed, Is this recommendation only for this new FW and forward?
3. If you have a dedicated 5ghz SSID for the TSRs, do you need to set the TSRs to select the 5ghz band or can you leave them in 'Auto' i.e. will the performance matter with a dedicated SSID?
4. Is it necessary now to have dedicated (i.e. different) SSID on each AP (TSR-Fam, TSR-MBed) to prevent roaming? or is this not an issue now??

TIA!


Re: Apple TV Select Button

 

I have this issue on 3 and 4-series (haven't looked on 2-series...Do I have any systems left with 2-series??)
As I was working thru an update I realized this:
1. Using the P+H module for the Menu/Exit button allows for solid single 'back' commands, and P+H function for the HOME/Main Menu command
2. The select button now really requires a Press, Short P+H and a Long P+H - This is where I'm not sure if we can make this work with the current tools...
PRESS =? ? ? ?Item Select
Short P+H =? ?Mini Menu (Edit Home Screen, Move To(Folder), DELETE App)
Long P+H =? ? Item 'Wiggle'? (for moving menu position, I think)

I see the potential need for all of these but I don't think that we have (currently) all the commands necessary, even if we can engineer a reliable '3 Press' logic...
Ugghh, Any ideas are welcome...?

?I'm thinking that we'll probably need to tell the clients that they just need to be better button pushers...Practice, Practice, Practice!!!
Oh! and Mr. Customer... here's your invoice$$...


Re: Apple TV Select Button

 

What worked for me on my 2-series processor was using the Gen 2 IR driver from the Crestron DB and using the P&H as previously mentioned with a OS of .01s on the "not held".


Re: Problem with symbol TCP/IP Server on the CP4N

 

The webserver is always available even if you don't program it, so the router configuration does not need to change for that to work as it's probably a default setting which is set in firmware. The same applies for incoming CIP connections. Outgoing connections like a TCP/IP client do usually not need to be configured on a router but a TCP/IP server is an incoming connection which needs to be configured. This probably happens at program start and when the router is not up and running, how should that happen??

Why the difference in 3 and 4 series? Because different underlying platforms can behave slightly different. 4 series is also much faster and programs start earlier than on 3 series.


Re: TSR-310 Continual System Disconnects & Fav CH not functioning #cp4

 
Edited

TSR-310 v2.001.0174 (10/10/23) has some major improvements regarding WiFi & "Connecting to System" behavior in CH.
Please update your remotes and refer to release notes for more information.

While not necessarily related to XFinity Voice, also worth noting?TSR-310 v2.001.0174 (10/10/23) has some major improvements regarding WiFi & "Connecting to System" behavior in CH.

Please update your remotes and refer to release notes for more information.


Re: Apple TV Select Button

 

One of my dealers just reported the problem on a system using a CP4's built-in IR ports. In this instance, the fix was simply to put a .01s One-Shot inline with the command.

Re: Problem with symbol TCP/IP Server on the CP4N

Maybe -- but that's not as clean as startprogafterrouter because (a) the router startup time isnt a defined period so you run the risk of too long or too short and a future router config or firmware update breaking things, and (b) you would be subjecting yourself to that penalty every time the program started even if the router was already fully up (e.g. when loading changes to the program)

Its kind of like the old BiAmp Audia modules that enforced a 60 (or was it 120) second initialization delay because someone put the DSP on a power sequencer and rather than handle that in a sane way the fix was to make everyone wait a minute or two every time the program loaded before the module even started to do anything useful?

Just a thought, if the "Enable" signal of the TCP-IP Server is set high with a delay to make sure the router has time to initialize. that should fix the problem as well, no?


Re: Problem with symbol TCP/IP Server on the CP4N

No. It does not help. Soon I will be able to check the command associated with the router on the processor. And yet I don¡¯t understand why such services as conditional Telnet, an internal Web server, and a lot of others have time to start normally on the processor, but such an important part of the logical core as the TCP-server does not have time to start. And why did it always work on pro3 before. Let me remind you that we do not use the Control Subnet on the processor.

Samsung WA65C RS232 Commands

 

Has anyone controlled a Samsung WA65C display using it's RS232 port? We have several coming up on a project and the user manual just says "Serial Interface for debug only." I was wondering if it will still work to control the TV and which Samsung control protocol it uses?

Re: Problem with symbol TCP/IP Server on the CP4N

 

But you are technically using the CS, it is being used by the processor. As Lincoln indicated earlier, the processor sits behind the router along with anything you may have on the control subnet (much like your computer is behind the router on your home network).
Exactly. If the server is initialized before the processor pulls an IP address, DNS etc. it will fail, plain and simple. Do what the others have suggested and I'm 99.9% certain it will fix your issue. The reason a program reset works is because the control subnet router is already running and the processor can pull an IP address to start your server, whereas on a hardware reset or reboot it will never work.?

I would definitely encourage on processors with control subnet to set your startprogafterrouter to on, mostly because you don't have behind the scenes control of every module or device trying to connect, initialize etc. I thought this was changed to default ON but I may be mistaken.


Re: Dm-NVX not liking hex IP-ID

 

Did you try just entering in E instead of 0E?


Dm-NVX not liking hex IP-ID

 

weird D-30 gives error with IP-ID 0E but accepts IP-ID 20--seem to remember some mention of this or similar

Thanks for your reply. But in our case, the Control Subnet port on the CP4N processor is not used at all! All equipment is located on the LAN port.


Re: VC-4 & Sonos

 

I did this recently
Player names must be exactly the same
Order of the module matters (init needs to be above all others, followed by device modules)
Remove all characters that are not A-Z,a-z?
it doesn't seem to like spaces.?
You may need to delay the module initialization?till after a minute.?

So you tried it and it made no difference at all?
