NVX Weirdness
Just wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this?
DM NVX chassis with 8 cards installed, with all NVX cards on the same firmware ... 7.1.5259.00030. Everything has been working fine for 6 months. All of a sudden, 6 of the 8 cards are showing that they are in "First Boot" mode. Here's the strangest part, the only thing that has been initialized is the login. Every other setting is still completely intact ... hostname, IP info, multicast setup, input routing, EDID, etc. There is a director in the system, but I don't think that it can just reset the username and password. Once I setup the login credentials again, everything is back online with the director and working as it was before. This isn't in a rack that is easily accessible by people. It is in a hidden closet in a residential installation, so reset from the chassis isn't a concern either. TB is completely baffled, as am I. As a precaution, I'm going to script some new firmware, but I just wanted everyone to be aware. Brian |

Re: current lutron modules
They used to be on the Application Market but they are no longer there (only the other systems are there which is odd...). If you have a Lutron login you can get them from their hub and it lets you get the r04 version.
There are r05 versions out there too- I was given a couple of the modules from one of the guys at Control Concepts. It had fixes to issues I had found on several sites. It was just for the Dimming Load Control, Dimming Load Parsing, and Shade modules. I dont want to share those without their permission though. I think some of them are in this group though and if they give the blessing then I'll post them up.? Also I wonder if the admins here have an issue with us adding the r04 QS modules to the files section. Seems something many people ask for. I think just because you arent a Lutron dealer doesnt mean you shouldnt have access to the Crestron modules... |

Re: Find a rouge parameter in a simpl program
Alex,
F9 & replace with an empty parameter worked a treat as the process will fail and brings up the Replace Substrings dialog with a Warning - Could not replace Parameter Zone_href_ID on Symbol: S:x.x.x.x.x So that enabled me to track down the rouge ID's. Thanks |

Re: restaurant reservations with Crestron
"This feels like a Crestron exam question from a while back."? "Wrong tool for the job"
Can confirm, a very similar requirement for a reservation system was on the CCP exam this past summer.? The ironic part is, that exam had no A/V in it at all.? Every single aspect of the exam SCREAMED "Build a solution to a scope of work entirely outside the Crestron/AV wheelhouse, and use none of the functions for which you would actually want to spec a crestron-based system."? It seemed to remove the "practical" part from giving a practical exam! Ha ha.? Reminded me of when I gave a task to some of our interns to teach them about S+, "make this touchpanel play tic tac toe with you, complete with declaring victory when a winning move is made." |

My thoughts as well since there are other platforms that already have that capability but since the remaining part of the restaurant is being controlled by Crestron, owner asked, if possible, to add in reservations control as well. |

Re: restaurant reservations with Crestron
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThis feels like a Crestron exam question from a while back. ? But this is also a great example of ¡°wrong tool for the job¡± / ¡°why reinvent the wheel¡±? Pretty much any competent restaurant point of sale system will do this better, cheaper, faster, and more reliably than you¡¯ll be able to (quickly) do this ¨C particularly the whole process-email-cancellation portion of this. ? Is there something that one of the off the shelf solutions doesn¡¯t do that the client needs? ? If you really need to do this probably leveraging one of the POS APIs and just using Crestron for the frontend would be the better way to go but that¡¯s about where my awareness ends ¨C Aloha and Micros are the major players (IIRC) in this space and bonus that that would also allow the client to leverage integration with services like OpenTable and Resy for booking (rather than reinventing that wheel again)? ? If you really, really, really need to do this C# and dictionaries would be the first path I¡¯d walk down but only with a gun to my head ¨C not because it¡¯s conceptually difficult but because WHY? ?

restaurant reservations with Crestron
has anyone used Crestron as a reservation system for a restaurant?
I have been tasked with creating an interface using TSD-2220-B that allows hostess to make reservations for seating of up to 224 people (that is the max occupancy) there are 56 tables each containing 4 chairs. Selecting any available seating based on date/time from 1 table to all 56 tables. Reservations are being sent via email to customer for conformation. Chairs are not a factor since selecting a table reserves all 4 chairs at once. Customer can cancel at any time via email or by calling in to hostess. |

Re: Find a rouge parameter in a simpl program
Unfortunately I think what he is dealing with means a digit is off in his parameters and Lutron is kicking him errors that the href doesn't exist.? I don't believe there is a way to know an href that is erroring then search for it in parameters.? I've been in these shoes and it sucks.

I'm waiting for another large QSX system until I do this, but I am going to modify how my modules work to read from a file for href's instead of using the pre-built modules.? These larger systems, you absolutely need the ability to locate and change these href's easier.? Unfortunately the current QSX modules, though ControlConcepts did a good job on the initial build really need a second version with a lot of modifications for things like feedback, dimming, href handling, etc. On Mon, Nov 13, 2023 at 10:44 AM, Alex Teague wrote: If you know the exact parameter text you're searching for, you could F9 the entire lighting folder and replace the parameter text with "".

Find a rouge parameter in a simpl program
I have a very large Lutron QSX integration program.
The lutron logs are complaining about some href buttons not existing. As any of you that have done qsx integration know, there can be literally hundreds of these href's in a program. I have a couple I'm trying to track down but a lack of a simple find function in Simpl is proving to be problematic. I've tried opening the smw in Notepad++ and searching in that but cannot find any href parameters even ones I can clearly see. Anyone have any suggestions to track down parameters in a program?
