Re: The extended ASCII codes in 3-series

What panel are you using?

It's likely not a control system issue, but a panel issue.

If it's a TSW... this was working early on, broken in firmware and reported quite a while ago, and AFAIK still not fixed (though it's been a few weeks since I've had time to play with it)

Re: Crestron Simpl# and Sonos

#180652

Perhaps technically, certainly not logistically.

The entire reason we (ControlWorks) have not developed a module for Sonos is because both Sonos has not published a supported API and because Sonos has expressed that they wish to maintain full control over their user interface/user experience and do not want to be integrated.

When a vendor doesn't support an API -- and even more so when the vendor takes a "We don't want to be integrated" stance -- it becomes dangerous to integrate as any solutions need to be reverse engineered and have the potential to be broken at any time by way of a firmware update. If the vendor explicitly does not want to be integrated, the chances of something breaking raise significantly.

(see, for example, the recent posts on various weather modules no longer working until the code is tweaked -- incidentally, we have our own Weather Module which has >99.99% uptime & while features have been added, every version we've released still works)

Re: RTSP with tpmc-4smd

Brett,

                We are using the new snapav WPS-750 ip cameras. 

Ex. RTSP://IP ADDRESS/v2

The V2 designates the lower res video stream.  I spoke to them Friday and
they gave a couple of other ideas which weren't in their manual.  I'll let
you know how it turns out.

I have never used one but reading the spec would say it does.

What brand of camera are you using?
Do you have the correct RTSP URL with the user:pass set etc?
What is the IP cameras settings for the stream?

Shoot through a bit more info and I might be able to give you some ideas to
try.

Cheers,

Re: Prowl for Crestron 3 Series is posted!

#180645

Hi,

I had trouble getting this SIMPL file to compile. It will compile, but then remove all the Prowl Client module's input, output and parameter signals. I eventually discovered that I had to change the Send digital input's name in the SIMPL+ file to something else as I assume SIMPL# used Send as a parameter. Now it's working great!

Thanks!!

Re: New iOS App?

#180640

You can't use the Crestron Mobile symbol in Simpl with the new Crestron App. You *must* use the new symbol to connect to the new app because it is Core3 only.

Crestron Mobile (Simpl) --> Crestron Mobile / Mobile Pro / Mobile G / Mobile Pro G

Crestron App (Simpl) --> Crestron App iPhone / Crestron App iPad

As a side note if you still need some form of encryption, enable and create  the SSL user name and password settings in the processor and then enable the matching SSL username and password settings for the new Crestron App under "Advanced"

Basically you modify the existing Destiny template files and create copies
