I've been banging my head against a wall getting started with CH5, hoping some here can help point me to how fix these issues.? So like many, I started by trying to use the template file.? Problem is, when I do NPM install, I get a slew of vulnerabilities and doing "npm audit fix" doesn't take care of them.? Also files? don't end up where I'd expect them (notably package.json ends up one directory up from my project).

So then I tried taking a more streamlined approach and watched some youtube videos on doing this without the template file.?The video I watched said to run?npm install @crestron/ch5-crcomlib.? Same deal, full of vulnerabilities.??

? Is this potentially something with my (work) PC?? Should I be yelling at my IT team?? Do others see these vulnerabilities when installing these packages?? FWIW, not my first foray into HTML/CSS, but previous experience was a LONG time ago, so my first time working NPM, a lot of JS, etc.? The whole environment with everything scripted feels very foreign to me.

Any tips on how to get through these issues and get the ball rolling?

My latest article, "Review: CleanForce Air Rainbow Air Purifier” is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

People don't realize it, but problems with indoor air quality can be exacerbated during the winter because, for energy efficiency, people leave their windows and doors tightly closed.? There is little opportunity for pollutants to be ventilated to the outside, or fresh outdoor air to enter the home.

The Rainbow Air Purifier, manufactured by CleanForce Air, is an economical, but powerful, air purifier that can handle rooms much larger than competitively priced products.

This article looks in depth at the Rainbow Air Purifier including its integration into a smart home.

I've found a new site to host my blog so for those that want to see even more content I've written about smart home technology you can find that using the link below. The process of exporting all my old content from Blogger and importing it into WordPress was far from perfect. So there are formatting issues with old posts and images that didn't import. I will see what I can do about correcting some of these issues over time.



Thank and have a great Thanksgiving

yes, but phone won't run 32-bit apps - see my other post about app not compatible

It will almost certainly run 32-bit apps, even if it's a 64-bit phone.
TMK the only 64-bit-only Android devices are Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and some Android Auto dashboards.

The Google Play Store is misleading re: their message about device / OS version compatibility.
That message is really just pertaining to Google Play Store removing ability to discover/install apps that haven't been updated in ~2+yrs.

You should still be able to install CApp-Android from non-market sources as a workaround.
An email was sent from your existing support case detailing how to do this until CGo-Android x64 is released.

CH5 and a browser?

Nope.? Just a CP4-R.??

To be clear they didn't loose IP adresses, or any other settings ONLY their passwords.

Yes.

Cool. You were controlling it via RS232?

Over the years I've had 2 Onkyo's and moved on to a integra.? The serial protocol is the same.? Was plug and play each time I swapped on out.? Have never had a problem with it.? The only thing that I remember was if in calibration mode I needed to use the factory remote.

Jholmes,
Is there a director in that system?

Gonna chime in on this one.? After I saw this post yesterday I too thought heat, however last night received a complaint from a customer about (3) d30's we have in some guest rooms that weren't working.

Couldn't communicate with them or receive ping responses back from them.? I rebooted all 3 using PoE.? Afterwards they came back online, BUT (2) were in the "first boot mode" asking for change of default password.? They were all "ONLINE" with the CP4-R.

Not sure when this happened.? They're in guest rooms that get used rarely so could be it happened a while ago and was just discovered.? They are on v7.1.5259.00030.? I wouldn't really suspect heat in this instance, however the 2 that had initialized passwords are in TV armoires and the (1) that didn't reset the password is a TV on a cabinet.? They all still weren't communicating and needed to be rebooted.

Just putting this out there.? May be a bug.

My question is why are you using VLANs for what I *assume* is a residential install...Is there a specific use-case?
And yes, I know that they have their place/uses but I think that much of the application of them stems from over-marketed network systems by a few of our channel's vendors years ago...
It is very rare that I have had specific needs for VLANs in our resi projects.?

Thanks Jay,
Yeah I'll have to test that with this model. Pushing the reset is definitely only for guys like you and me in our own homes. I wouldn't want that issue with a client.
I'm wondering if I should go with serial control??...

In addition to an mDNS repeater, you may also need to implement an IGMP-proxy.?? That is particular the case if you have an iPad on an different subnet then the Sonos.? I would imagine the same is true for the CP3.

You may also need to implement IGMP snooping and Querier on your switches for both VLANs.

I still have an older Onkyo TX-NR575 and it works fine to control that model using the Integra DTR-80.3 IP v1.2 module.? Onkyo is (or at least used to be) the direct to consumer brand for Integra and used the same control protocols.? The only issue is that if, for some reason, the Onkyo loses power the module needs to be reinitialized or it won't control the Onkyo.? I don't have any fancy hardware / code to detect a power outage and do this automatically.? I'll simply press the software reset button on the processor to get things working again.? This is a rare occurrence for me but it is something you / your client should be aware of.

Hope this helps

Jay

Hi All,
I have a project coming up with this Onkyo AVR.
I haven't done an Onkyo for 15 years!!
It is an older unit of course so I'm curious what control media and module others would recommend for reliable communications...
TIA!

Have used this combo a few times, volume control is a little slow but haven't heard clients complain.

How did you ensure the mDDNS packets were traversing across VLAN's? I
thought that can't happen.
