CCS-UC-1 W/PS KIT vs CCS-UC-1-AV W/PS KIT

 

Hello all. I've just opened an old - unopened mercury system that we bought around 5 years ago, and by that time I bought both the AV and not AV system.?
I just remember that the only difference was that the AV comes with the logitech camera, usb extension, but when I've opened the box last week, I've realized that the airmedia and hdmi "license" are not included.?
does anyone have more info on this? and can I get the license for those systems?
thanks
nico


Re: Spectrum /Comcast Zumo streaming box

 

I'm not familiar with Spectrum's box, but Comcast/Xfinity uses a DirecTV Stream. It uses different IR codes than the DirecTV receivers, but there's a driver in the Group's Files section.

unit, if so how did you do it?

Thanks,

Re: Anyone noticing slowdowns/failures in loading to 4-series processors lately?

 

Same, it fails to load about 85% of the time.

Doesn¡¯t seem to matter if I try stopprog or just try to progload. It¡¯s simply fails to stop the previous program, then loads the current ¡°old¡± one. New firmware made it like 10% better but still fails to stopprog most times.

A birdie told me Crestron is aware of the issue and they Are working on it. Bit that was before the latest firmware came out that was supposed to to fix it according to the help file

Crestron Home - Remote App UI

 

We are utilizing Luma cameras at this site and they were brought into Crestron Home without issue. They are viewing successfully locally but remotely fail. Firewall policy changes do not seem to change the situation. Is there some special ports that need to be open that I¡¯m not aware of?


Re: Anyone noticing slowdowns/failures in loading to 4-series processors lately?

 

I'm looking forward to this issue being resolved. I can confirm that 2.8003.0037 did not fix the issue with my PRO4.

Re: Crestron and Certificates

 

Though COSU was created by Crestron's engineers, it isn't considered official Crestron software (isn't available to download from Crestron's website, etc.). COSU's release and support (along with Crestron's other GitHub projects) was all through Crestron Labs forums (), and falls outside the purview of True Blue Support agents.


Re: Crestron and Certificates

 

I wasn't expecting for anyone to do it for me but at least tell me what to use. The literal response was "I can't help out, management said we're not supposed to".
Also, when I mentioned COSU the response was that it's not official Crestron software and they won't help with that either. Then why TF do you mention it at Masters 3 years in a row!


Re: Crestron and Certificates

 

OpenSSL CLI is commonly used to generate CA certs.??
XCA GUI is my preferred tool for generating CA certs.??
COSU is yet another option for generating CA certs.?

True Blue Support documents expected behaviors that'll be encountered when using self-signed certs (OLH , , etc.), and?can assist with loading CA certificates to Crestron devices. But True Blue Support has never provided walkthroughs re: how to use software / tools to create the CA certs that will be deployed to devices.

This trend is a fundemental flaw with most new, "Cool" things that we are increasingly asked to deal with...IMHO...:)

Thanks, Pixels and Jay for the updates...Very Helpful!
We'll be looking at the PurpleAir...

Hi Kiel - is the 1.14.00.155 update and panel firmware solution still holding strong for you a month later?? UC engines have been such a headache for us at my company I've started having to research alternative solutions like Logitech Rally kits or Neat bars.? Unfortunately those also come with issues of their own.

Incidentally, does anyone else know of any reliable, readily-integratable solutions for no-device-needed Teams/Zoom conferencing as part of a larger room integration with a full control system, dsp, etc?


Re: combine serial strings to a single string

 

Dizzy

You could do
Ones = Analog_Temperature mod 10;
it would be one less calculation for the system.


Re: Crestron and Certificates

 

Just so everyone knows, and this goes to the lurkers from Crestron as well.?
I called twice about the Cert issue and both times I was told that they won't help me, per management direction.
This is just absurd and makes me dislike Crestron on a different level!

Thanks


Re: combine serial strings to a single string

 
Edited

Hello John, just write a Simpl+ module like this:


#DEFAULT_VOLATILE
#ENABLE_STACK_CHECKING
#ENABLE_TRACE

ANALOG_INPUT Analog_Temperature;
STRING_OUTPUT String_Temperature;
?
CHANGE Analog_Temperature
{
?? ?INTEGER Tens, Ones;
?? ?Tens = Analog_Temperature / 10;
?? ?Ones = Analog_Temperature - (Tens * 10);
?? ????
?? ?MAKESTRING(String_Temperature, "%d.%d", Tens, Ones);???
}

FUNCTION Main()
{
?? ?WAITFORINITIALIZATIONCOMPLETE();
}

Then you can send in your 708 and it will output 70.8


VC4 test environment suggestions

 

I need a solution for setting up a VC4 in my home office and wanted to gauge what others suggest is the best method, particularly from a hardware perspective.?

My initial thought was to utilize xio cloud and the "trials" but not sure how feasible that is long term. Yesterday, I created an Alma Linux vm machine on my M1 and installed VC4, however the steps to modify the SNMPd.conf had permissions issues, I was unable to connect and not sure how much time to put into getting that approach working.

Basically, what do method is best for both cost and maintenance? I find myself going in circles between referencing online help, CTI videos and general info found in searches here. TIA.

Hi,

I took a quick look at the driver and their latest API documentation.? The driver was written 4 years ago for Kaiterra's Laser Egg models of IAQ monitors (which it appears have been discontinued).? The API documentation now shows that data elements are being returned as an array of parameters.? When the driver was written that wasn't the case so I don't believe the driver will work with the new models.? However, without testing, I can't be sure.

As Pixel Bits points out, the Kaiterra API is cloud based.?? This is why I personally use indoor and outdoor monitors from PurpleAir.? They have a local API and there is a driver on my GitHub.

PurpleAir, like WeatherFlow, is in the business of collecting data from all the sensors they sell, combining that data into an overall map of data in all the countries where sensors are located, and selling that data to governments, etc.? You can checkout the map by going to the PurpleAir web site and choosing real-time-map from the map dropdown.

Hope this helps

Jay

Fairly straightforward but requires authentication with their cloud infrastructure - no local APIs (discussed this with them at length). Uses an API key you get from their dashboard. Clean information but really a bother that you can't get access from the device directly, $240/yr/device is expensive for a data dashboard.


Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

Aqara's Presence Sensor FP2 has revolutionized presence sensing with its use of millimeter wave radar.? The sensor is so sensitive it can detect the movement of a person's chest while sleeping under a blanket.? Aqara has just announced several new features for the product.? Sleep monitoring is currently being rolled out in a firmware update and there are more features being planned for future updates.

This article looks at these new features in more detail.

You can find the article here:




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



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.

Re: Crestron Home Losing Control of Roku using IP #cp4r

 

Have you tried updating the Roku driver to the latest version (driver ID 4976, v2.0700.0001, last updated 10/13/2023)? Reportedly the latest version of this driver deals with this very issue. Here is an excerpt from the release notes: "Added device connection recovery pattern for loss of communication with device scenarios." I pushed this this to a couple projects and although it has only been about 3.5 weeks I have not heard any complaints. As you may know, drivers are not automatically updated so you will need to follow the process for updating this driver outlined in the CH manual. Let us know how it goes. Godspeed!

Best regards,

JWS?


Re: Crestron and Certificates

 

Hi,
here's a quick how to :

install openssl first

1 - create a CA root
openssl.exe genrsa -des3 -out Certificate-CA.key 2048
openssl.exe req -x509 -new -nodes -key Certificate-CA.key -sha256 -days 365 -out? Certificate-CA.pem

2 - create certificate for nvx/tsw with your CA
openssl.exe? req -new -key Certificate-CA.key -out nvx.csr
openssl.exe x509 -req -in nvx.csr -CA Certificate-CA.pem -CAkey Certificate-CA.key -CAcreateserial -out? nvx.crt -days 365 -sha256
openssl.exe pkcs12 -export -out? nvx.pfx -inkey Certificate-CA.key -in nvx.crt

3 - import Certificate-CA.pem and pfx files on your nvx/tsw

repeat step 2 and 3 for all equipments
on step 2 when it ask for Common Name or FQDN use ip address or hostname if you have a dns.
