Re: Zoom with Flex Systems

 

I've only been doing residential systems, but now have an opportunity to do a small Flex room for an office. I'm not too familiar with the Flex kits as far as integration with existing devices.? I was doing a little research and so it seems you can grab the sample program / 'software' from Crestron and modify it to fit your setup and then those modules included will talk to the UC and such?

My goal is to take the system which has 4 rooms with a single shade each, and Crestron lighting, ( dimmers and switches) and 1 zone of video with a few sources, then add something like the soundbar with built in webcam, and a tabletop I suppose and being able to video conference from that zone, as well as keep the control of the lights and shades.? This thread is saying that while it does work, its complicated and sometimes 'janky'?

Is it better to have a tabletop Flex system for the video conferencing and then an ipad with Crestron Go loaded for everything else?


Re: Waterproof iPad

 

Can't you use a TSW-770 or 1070? Sealoc can weatherproof those.


Waterproof iPad

 

Hi All,
I have a client that has an awesome outdoor space including an outdoor kitchen, pool area, etc...
He wants an iPad for control of the AV, Lights, pool, etc. so I'm looking to find some way to have the iPad be waterproof.
It does not need to go in the Pool!...Haha? just needs to handle getting some rain and general moisture resistance
I checked with SEALOC and iPort but they don't have anything.

What have others used? I was hoping for some sort of dock...

Thanks.

Robotic mowers operate very differently than a human powered mower.? People typically mow their lawn once a week during the summer.? This gives the lawn plenty of time to grow so you have to deal in some way with the clippings.? You might have a mulching mower that is designed to cut the clippings up very fine so they become fertilizer for the lawn or your mower collects the clippings in a bag.?

Robotic mowers are designed to be run much more often, even daily.? In this way the grass has only grown a short amount and the clippings are very short.? This allows the mower to operate as a mulching mower so the clippings become fertilizer for the lawn.

I'm not sure how the Navimow deals with the kinds of obstacles you mention.? However, I am doing a second article on the mower's performance because I live in the mountains and it has still been too cold for my grass to really have started growing yet.? I'll make sure I include some obstacle avoidance tests.

Thanks again

Jay

Interesting product I wish this had been around many decades years ago when I was sent out to mow my family's yards with a push mower! What about the lawn clippings? Unless this thing grinds up the cuttings to a fine dust, the first strong winds will deposit cut grass everywhere. Also thinking back on that time, I would encounter obstacles such as dog poop, dead birds, tree branches, etc. Maybe dog exhaust is no longer much of a problem now with most dog owners responsibly bagging it but for the rest it seems you still need to do a 'walk-through' of the property before unleashing it. I'm glad the reviewer pointed out the cloud vs local network issue; internet connectivity seems to be assumed on many new products. If it can do 98% of the job, that's still a great timesaver.?

Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron

 

Which CEC module? Does it wake up Nvidia if it goes to sleep? You have menu command working?

Could you share or email a screenshot of what commands you are using?

Thank you


Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron

 

If you are using a Crestron DM system... I use standard CEC commands and they work great!? Play, pause, FF, Rewind, navigation all work.


Re: Smart Graphics dpad question

 

Thank You.
That's all I needed to finish this.


Re: Insteon Lighting Control

 

Sorry to reply to a dead post. Just trying to add this stuff so if someone looks for it, it's out there!



If you use a 1st gen Insteon hub, you can issue commands thru the network.
If you have a Serial PLM, you can communicate with a Processor's COM port.

I have not done this myself, don't have the patience to set it up!

Other things I found I didn't know about! There is AMX code running around to program Insteon:

RA 3 button control module v1.1 lag

 

Has anyone seen this and maybe have a solution? I have a project with RA3 and we are using some keypad buttons to control audio. After uploading the keypads work fine, but after about an hour they start to have lag in the controls. Like pushing the raise button for volume up can take as long as 6 seconds to output the digital signal going high. With debug enabled on the communication module it appears that the Lutron string is coming to the Crestron in its normal timely manner, the Crestron however lags in setting the associated digital output high.

I've used this? with Home and it work fairly well,

Not sure if they have a version that works with Simpl.

Nobody I know enjoys mowing their lawn or vacuuming their homes.? Robotic mowers and vacuums are, in many ways, similar devices as they both these smart home robots incorporate navigation and locomotion functionality.? However, robotic vacuums have become common smart home accessories while robotic mowers haven't kept up.? Segway is working to change that with their Navimow i Series line of robotic mowers.? While the Navimow i Series mowers are positioned as entry level robotic mowers, with very competitive pricing, they include advanced navigation capabilities and features that set them apart from the competition.? This article provides a first look at the Segway Navimow i108E robotic mower.

You can find the article here:

For these interested in even earlier content that I wrote, you can find it all here though older content has formatting issues due to a transfer from blogspot to wordpress.

Re: Smart Graphics dpad question

 

You can give it a smart join number and then import the smart object, or you can give it single digital join and it uses the next 4 joins. If you look at the help for it, it explains this.

Re: TSW1070 over Crestnet

 

I've used dozens of these and they work fantastic. You can get them slightly cheaper through SnapAV/Volutone. ?
