No problem with Modbus on 2-series. Send me an email, I have a demo program for you.
I can't upload into the file section - not enought space for a 42k archive :[

Hi Folks,

my first project with Modbus is on the way. In the files section there is a modification of the Crestron module, but it is not complete.
I read about problems with processor stability, any experiences? I use a AV2 with 32MB, FW 4.007.0004.

Thanks in advance

Integration IDs are assigned by the Lutron installer/programmer (also the device has to be "enabled" for integration).

you will either need a copy of Designer to verify the IDs and/or assign an ID to a device

Re: Dish Receivers wake up

 

Change the box back to id1, and use the ir driver i uploaded to the file section.

To change id you use original remote, press menu, menu, have the tv on and this should get you to the system info page) the hold down the SAT button on remote, til it blinks a few times, then press 01, then # a few times, then record once or twice, the IR address on the tv should change to 01.

Re: D3Pro Notice 259 Newer Version of Device

 

You know....

I believe everything important is stored in /Program Files (x86)/Crestron. I wonder if you could just archive that folder and the Crestron Registry branches and keep backups that way instead of whole VMs. Drop an .NFO file or something with the archive so you know what versions are contained in it and give the archive a serial number. Then put that serial number in your program header or filename or something.

With the discontinuation of Crestron's CEN-SWPOE-24, does anyone have any recommended AV friendly switches? I need more ports than the 16 port version, which seems to be still around. The main features I liked about Crestron's unit were the rear mounted connectors, and the ability to easily turn on/off PoE from SImpl. The insanely high price was the downside!

I've had positive success with the Cisco SG300 series as a switch, but never messed around with using the serial port for control, plus the connectors are on the front of the switch.
