Re: Audio Only source via DM
Also curious about this, as we have 2 dm frames connecting to each other in a lecture hall enviornment (1 at rack, and 1 at teacher station).. The mic is fed via a bnc or dvi card, and runs on the same dm line as the camera feed to go to the teacher station to feed for capture, zoom, teams, etc.?? When switching cameras(there's 2 of them) on the rack dm we loose audio for a few seconds as video in 5&6 switch but audio in 7 always remains the same on output 3. most systems are set up with BNC cards for the audio.? will this stop happening if we switch to DVI? |

Legrand Daker DK+ rs232
I have 2 Legrand daker dk+ in my rack which should have a couple of their sockets toggled on a touch panel, I've looked everywhere and cannot find neither a module nor clear information on the information protocol over rs232 for the device. Has anyone had experience with this and could help me?

Re: Gas Valve compatible with Crestron Home?
More information about the pool heater would be needed to answer that question safely.? Generally there is 2 types of residential gas valves.? Those that open when provided 24 vac of power and power pile gas valves which create their own power via power pile generator to hold the pilot on and 2 terminals on the valve get closed via t-stat.? That said, there are some Euro wall hung high eff boilers that have dc operated gas valves.? My guess is that the safest route would be to interrupt the signal from the thermostat with a relay.? Post the model and serial of the pool heater.

Re: SIMPL# question
I am pretty sure I have seen "Jandy Generic Serial Adapter Kit | AquaLink RS Home Automation Interface | 7620" for sale --
at the price of $899, it led a group of folks to reverse engineer it and create an open-source version that can be loaded on a Raspberry Pi for those not willing to pay the price [or those wanting this after it's no longer obtainable].? Anyway, this device connects via RS232 and acts as a node on the AquaLink's internal bus [RS485, shared with the keypad I belive] and allows you to pass commands to it without the internet... assuming you can still buy this item (or replicate it with the open source version). If all you want to do is turn on some lights, why bother with a full blown driver?? It looks like you can just send text to it with a serial send.? "# AUX1 = ON(cr)" says page 24 of the manual, guessing if the landscape lights are plugged into the aux 1 circuit, this would make them turn on. |

Re: SIMPL# question
Presumably you know about??That's where you can set up your own account and point it to multiple different systems. Because the Crestron module only has 10 systems, I started another login to with zodiacpoolsystems.com with a different email for my next 10 systems. But that ORDER on their web page lines up with the system number on the Crestron module and that you have control of and won't change unless you tell it to change. So when I go to a pool page on a particular job, I have to be sure to call up the right system (if system 7 is Mr Smith's system then in Mr Smith's code I point to system 7 etc. You need to be on site and have the code printed on the side of the iAqualink device and find it on the local network one time, and then forever more you can connect remotely. I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to extend the module to cover more systems.
Having said all that, I rather loathe this module - it doesn't push updates to the Crestron module when you change things on the iAqualink app. I think it only refreshes when you select the system, which seems like a real weakness. |

Re: SIMPL# question
Thanks Joe.? I don't that that is possible to use a simple serial I/O in this case because it is a cloud system that I am sure has layers of security.? But it is good to know that it is possible to decomple using JetBrainsto

Re: SIMPL# question
Thank.? I wish that was an option.? The issue is it would cost a butt load of money to trench to the two Jandy systems, add lightning protection, and then even find an RS Interface.? The current single RS interface was working until someone apparently slice that line somewhere in the yard.? Then replaced the Jandy controller.? And no one knows how it gets in the house.

Re: SIMPL# question
Several years ago while commissioning some Cisco VTC systems at the Pentagon, I ran into an issue with the Cisco RoomDeviceDriver 3.4.? This was a SIMPL# driver with no source, but I was able to use the dotPeek decompiler from JetBrainsto extract all the source code and tracked down the problem (I did not modify the source code and recompile; instead I added a Serial I/O to work around it.

Re: SIMPL# question
Thanks Jay.? Looks like you confirmed my conclusions.? How I long for the simpler days with open protocols and a simple method to program those interfaces that doesn't rely on the internet or cloud updates that break interfaces.?
It is pretty crazy it order for the client to turn on a tree light, he has open the Jandy page, then press the splash screen, then select the appropriate Jandy system, then navigate to "Other Devices", and finally select from list of 8 different AUX functions just to turn on the Tree light.?? |

Re: SIMPL# question
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Steve, To the best of my knowledge you are correct.? The S# source code is totally separate from the clz file.? S# source code is compiled in Visual Studio and like other compiled languages the source code is separate from the output of the compiler.? You would need to go to the author of the Jandy module and see if they would be willing to share the source code with you. Hope this helps Jay

System Key
Who understands how the System Key works? I only ask because I've had 24 hours of license fun and a strange thing happened.?
On an old take-over job, I was on site making a minor programming update and all of a sudden the Pro3 became unresponsive and I couldn't connect to it, despite reboots etc. I did the HW + 5 x SW resets. it came back, and I loaded all the programs, but when I tried to load the HVAC program in slot 3, it complained because the BACNET license was now missing (I didn't realize this wasn't preserved during this kind of reset). Of course I didn't have a copy of the key in a file anywhere.? I contacted the folks at license@...?and submitted the MAC address and System key and explained the situation. They of course wanted the original PO for the license which I did not have. I had sent them the old dealer's name but they claimed that dealer had never ever ordered a BACNET license. I figured there was one other dealer that might have purchased the license. Crestron initially sent me the freebie 50 endpoint license which I knew wasn't going to work (I have 80 odd points) but I loaded it anyway. When I tried to send the program as predicted it told me some points wouldn't work. Next day (this morning) Crestron did send me the full license. I remoted in and had to remove the old license first and that reboot caused it to lockup again. It remained that way until I could go to site earlier today to give it a power cycle, and then it came back, but now when I tried to load the full license, it would not accept it. but then I looked closer and realized the System Key displayed from the Pro3 had *changed*. I contacted Crestron again, and finally got someone to send me a licence key based on this new changed system key, and it worked. I had also tried a RESTORE today to see if that would return the System Key to what it first was, but it did not. So how does a System Key change? Isn't it baked in as some algorithmically generated GUID based on the MAC address and/or serial number? TIA OP |

SIMPL# question

The reason I ask is the demo program has you select between about a dozen different Jandy systems that the client has at various houses.? I like to filter that all out and just present the two systems and functions of interest on the client's iPad.? While I could look for a particular system name. my guess is the names could change or the order they are presented could change.? Hence working with the existing Jandy module would likely be unreliable without presenting all the systems on the client's Crestron App.? They don't like switching between the Crestron App and the Jandy app. A complicating factor is they want some of the Jandy lights that are use for landscaping to be controlled by their Crestron lighting system when it turns on the Landscape lights at night.? That would require me to switch between two different systems at the same house.? Prior, the client had been using the old RS232 interface box but that apparently is no longer an option. Working with the existing Jandy modules just seems too unstable to automate the functions desired.? And of course, the internet and cloud servers have to be up for it to work. If I had the source code, I could possible make something more automation friendly.? Of course I would have to learn SIMPL# to do this but I trying to figure out if it is even feasible to do what I want. Thanks for you insights and suggestions. Steve |
