Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

My latest article is the first in a 3 part series on the resilient smart home.? The first article focuses on making the smart home systems in a home resilient to natural disasters, and other events, that can impact the ability of the homeowners and their family to live in their home.? The second part in this series of articles will focus on making other systems in the home resilient. The final article in this series will focus on leveraging smart home technology to avoid having issues in your home and, again, leveraging smart home technology to minimize the damage to a home when an issue occurs.

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.



Thanks


Re: New DMPS3-300-C with factory authentication

 

The last few items I got back from repair had admin/Crestron123 set for the username and password.

We just went through that yesterday.? Only one unit but it took *forever* for that Recovery Procedure to complete.? Support was involved so they must be becoming aware of the problem.


Re: Spectrum /Comcast Zumo streaming box

 

I uploaded the .pkg to the file section. I was using crestron home so the menu button is tied to the settings button, if I was using Simpl I would have tied that button somewhere else, you can remap it in Device Learner if needed.?

Maybe just me but I seemed to notice this only in the last year. prior to that I loved TV and it was well worth the $$, but no longer I think

Well, It's impossible for Crestron to make a mistake at least for the last 6 years or so...:)


Re: LUMA LUM-310-NVR-4CH

 

Found it....?


Re: LUMA LUM-310-NVR-4CH

 

The Modules I found are only for the IP Camera.? Let me see If I can find anything else.


Re: LUMA LUM-310-NVR-4CH

 

Here are the Modules that I found.??


LUMA LUM-310-NVR-4CH

 

does anyone have any experience controlling a Luma NVR? Luma support says crestron has a module but i cant seem to find it. Looking to just start and stop recording and select camera.


New DMPS3-300-C with factory authentication

 
Edited

We finally received our order of 8 new DMPS3-300-C's after only a year of waiting.? So far, we have opened 6 out of the 8 and all three of my programmers have said that not only is authentication enabled, but there also appears to be a password already set in them.? Since we don't know the password and get locked out trying to connect. We have no choice but to do a HW/SWx5 reset on each of them.? Which afterwards they then work properly.? We reported it to True Blue and they are positive we just don't know what we are doing and has never heard of this issue.? Has anyone else seen this?? (The new DMPS password part, not the True Blue accusing us of being ignorant part.)


Re: MC3 Firmware

 

Most recent firmware for a device is most easily found on the Resources tab of the product page.
In this instance I'd Google "MC3 Crestron", click the product page (top result), and then Resources tab.
?

The search bar preview window at the top of crestron.com will only show current products.
(MC3 is discontinued, so it won't appear in the popup & you have to hit enter to perform a full search.)
Results in the full search are polluted because all the products listed have something in their Overview tab along the lines of:
"communicates with a Crestron? control system via an infiNET EX Wireless Gateway (model CEN-RFGW-EX, DIN-AP3MEX, or MC3[2])"
Overall, in 9+yrs of working at Crestron, I rarely ever use that particular search bar.

The smarter way to search for firmware on the site is first navigating to " > > " then search "MC3"
?

IP (or should I say HTTP) is neater to integrate, as it uses a Simpl# library to do POST requests to the Turn, and also uses SSE events to get real time events from the Turn. The Cresnet is solid too, but of course you have to tie in lots of digital and serial signals. Personally I prefer the IP version, less work to integrate!


Re: Sonos Soundbar issues

 

The System Module is above the Device Module and the Soundbar name is the same as what is in the device module parameter.?
