Re: Certification Test - Messaging from Touchpanel
Doug - please take what I say in the most helpful manner. Definitely not trying to be rude, but trying to make sure that "being certified" still carries weight and has some meaning.

There was one thing you said that really stood out. "I've never done a roomview system before" Roomview is a staple of commercial programming. IMO, "never done roomview" = shouldn't be able to be certified whether a test is passed or not. Go out and do a roomview system. Figure out how it works. If you had done a roomview system the answer to this question would be trivial. Then come back next year and try for the certification.

CNXENET+ work with tcp/ip server?
I'm still using a old cnmsxpro to run my theater. I know the original cnxenet won't work with it but the later "+" version which I have has much more funtionality. I'm planning to build a big server to rip all my dvd's and bd's to so I can rid my self of the stack of 400 disc changers that I have. MCE controller won't be of much use if the pro's ethernet card can't do it.

Re: OT - HDBaseT alternatives
Why do you say alternative to HDBaseT? Then you say alternative to Crestron? Did you mean you want an HDBaseT solution that is not Crestron? While I do think that Crestron DM is the Rolls Royce of digital switchers, there are many others available with HDBaseT that will do the job minus a few features that DM offers. But if you don't need the features and price is a factor there are others to consider:

Zigen - they offer a wide range of switchers and many HDBaseT extenders. I have used these in projects and they worked great. They have a modular 8x8 switcher that is card based so you can buy the frame and populate as needed. Great if you need an odd configuration like 8x4 and don't want to spend the money for a full 8x8 when you don't need the extra outputs. Email me offline if you need pricing. Wyrestorm is great and has a wide range of products, but not the cheapest of HDBaseT manufacturers. Altona is good as well and fits a nice middle ground on price. Binary is very nice and also good on the price. I have a Binary 4x4 HDMI in my personal theater. RTCom (digital extender) makes a nice switcher that has a good price () Options are fewer once you go into the 16x16 and higher range. RTCom makes a cardframe based 18x18 that can hold a mix of HDMI, DVI, CAT6 and fiber cards. () Email me offline if you want pricing. Aurora Multimedia has cardframe based switchers in 8x8, 16x16 and 32x32 sizes that allow you to build based on the type of inputs/outputs you need.

Re: CHV-TSTAT force "extended" run times?
You may be on to something there...

Show quoted text
I know I haven't changed the TStat setup since before I last updated the firmware, and I remember at the time thinking that the anticipators weren't having any/much affect. And the anticipators were set for what I "thought" would do what I wanted based on the manual (e.g. backwards from what reality appears to be) -- I'm using a "normal" single stage system (burner/forced air heat and ac). On the 2nd floor (Kitchen/Living) where the TStat is, there really isn't a "less bad" location for either the stat or an RTS, but I would like to get an RTS on the 3rd floor (Master Bed) anyway so I might force myself to do that while I'm doing some other work over the summer -- if any of this "free time" I hear speak of surfaces. I haven't seen the OD temp behave as you describe using an RSS for OD... Before that, I originally had a RTS that did all sorts of weird things toward the end of its life including at one point reporting the OD temp oscillating between something like +126F and -200F until you entered and exited setup, but that clearly wasn't a firmware issue.

I found the heat and cool anticipators did not work on the older firmware levels. But when I switched to v2.061, they started working. I seem to recall however that they worked in reverse of what the manual said. But I have a dual fuel system so that issue may only be unique to that mode. If the thermostat is in a bad location, you could use a remote temperature sensor. Even if you mount the sensor real close to the thermostat, you will probably observe an improvement. The big problem with the internal sensor is the inside of the TSTAT runs so hot that it messes up the internal temperature sensor. Depending on how the air current changes when the blower turns on, it can cause the thermostat to either short cycle or run too long. The internal sensor is mounted near the bottom of the thermostat. A downward draft will cause the internal sensor to heat up while an upward draft will cause the internal sensor to cool down. The big issue I have with v2.061 is occasionally the outdoor temperature sensor intermittently jumps up about 50 degrees and stays there until you reboot the thermostat or run the internal sensor calibration test. A different sensor behaves the same way and the problem started when I updated the firmware. Just downgrade firmware and waiting to see if the problem recurs.

2-series stopprog causing watchdog reboot?
My house is essentially running on two processors - there's a CP2E for lighting/HVAC/security and general "supervision"- basically things I only touch once a year or so, and a Pro2 [*wistfully* some day a Pro3] for audio/video/energy management/access control that gets much more tweaking when I have free time.
The program isn't crazy - RealIdle is consistently >=84% and the HeapFree is generally 10-12 MB (on a 32MB processor). Program is running on CF but it would fit in internal memory (it's more "so I don't have to wait for the COMPACT/"File System Maintenance") What I've noticed for the past 6 months or so is that when I try loading a new program, Toolbox fails miserably unless I stop the program first. But if I telnet to the processor and do STOPPROG, I get exactly this far PRO2 Control Console Connected to Host: LJKC-PRO2 PRO2> stopprog Stopping Program................................................................ .................. Before disappearing into the wild blue yonder... eventually the processor reboots If I telnet to the processor while it's loading the program / running the initial solution after rebooting and issue stopprog in the middle of that, the program stops just fine and I cal load via Toolbox - but it's getting annoying (FYI, Progreset does gets hung/watchdogs at the same point). I can't recall having this issue with any of my clients' systems which is part of the reason I'm even more perplexed/convinced that I have something lingering in a dark corner that I need to take a flamethrower to, but the only changes in the last 6 months have been fairly simple - move audio sources around, delete some redundant logic. I don't even think any of the S+ has changed. Software is current, firmware is current (4.007.0004) It seems weird that the processor is running just fine, I only have issues trying to get it to stop running. Any guesses, ideas, or shots in the dark? [Like I said, program is not huge - 4449 symbols / 7744 actual symbols / 23869 digitals / 5099 analogs / 3906 serials / 18.05 KB NVRAM / 1.56 MB Flash / 328.18 KB SIMPL+; ~30 Ethernet devices, ~49 Cresnet devices] -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS Sr. Systems Architect | Crestron Certified Master Programmer (Silver) ControlWorks Consulting, LLC Crestron Services Provider |
