British Gas Hive Integration

 

Hey folks,

Any of you integrated Crestron with British Gas Hive products? I have a client who wants to control multiple Hive Active Plugs.

They appear to use a although this is not officially documented and could very well change in the future (there have been several iterations already within a short period of time).

I was looking at the Crestron which would probably do the job...if the international 230V version exists.

Any advice? What do you use / recommend when your client's need to switch a handful of mains sockets on/off in various rooms?

Thanks in advance,
Fred.




Re: Fusion SSI. Multiple Rooms in 1 program

 

The largest I can attest to is 5x Fusion Room full modules ( each with Scheduling Awareness, 4x Static Assets etc) per Slot.
Born out of necessity, it's a pretty wild build with 40 ( SLOTS 2-9 x 5 each) in total, with SLOT1 handling all Fusion in/out comms from internal EISCs. CP3 alive and stable for 6 months straight.


Re: 3 series internal memory failure...AGAIN!

There isn't really anything Crestron can do about this that they haven't already done. Flash memory of any kind has a limited lifespan because of the technology. If the program is throwing lots of errors and causing lots of writing to the plog files, that will shorten the lifespan of the processor. If the program uses config files and they are modified often, that will shorten the lifespan. I was watching the deep dive talk by Toine, and if I remember correctly, he said they planned for about 10 years on the SD card, but that things programmers do can shorten that lifespan.

I haven't seen it happen yet on a CP3, but if it does it's going to be sweet when the 75 room identical room job I just worked on has all the processors fail at the exact time since they're running the exact same program, and then once they get repaired they will probably require $37,000 in licenses for the lutron integrations :)

3 series internal memory failure...AGAIN!

 

So after several processors having internal memory card failures, I have very little confidence in the reliability of 3 series processors. ?What is everyone else's experience with this? ?It seems that the failure will happen on systems that have been running fine for a long time and as soon as I upload to them, they slowly or all at once crap the bed. As far as I know Crestron hasn't solved the issue, and it's only a matter of time until every 3 series processor will have this problem. ?I tried loading programs to removable media, but found out that large programs take forever to start after a load when they are on RM. I had an MC3 for a large residential job (separate processor for lighting/ only running one program) that consistently took around 15min to stabilize after a program load. ?True Blue said this was considered normal. Anyone else have thoughts on this? ?


Re: Fusion SSI. Multiple Rooms in 1 program

 

Thank you so much Brian. This makes sense. 3 Fusion Rooms and 3 SSI modules tied into its respective Room Symbol and make sure to ID them different. This is just the clarification I needed.


Re: Fusion SSI. Multiple Rooms in 1 program

 

Hope your Fusion class wasn't as much of a waste of time as mine... I took the class about a month before they began using the SSI modules, and even knowing that was coming down the line, they only alluded to changes coming and didn't cover it at all.?Not that you asked...?

In any case, you'll want to add one Fusion Room definition to your program for each physical room in your program, and then connect that to a unique set of SSI modules for each of these rooms. Keep in mind, you'll also want to designate the only one of your SSI modules as "Primary_SSI" in the parameter settings. I also tend to set "Prefix_GUID" and "Append_Program_Slot" to Yes, since I sometimes run a single compile in multiple program slots for different rooms. Crestron's documentation isn't great on this, but you'll want to make sure the "Fusion_SSI_ID" and "Scheduling_ID" are unique to each SSI instance, since they are tied to crosspoints internal to the module. If you've attempted a compile, though, you've likely already found this out for yourself.

If you're already implementing multi-Fusion Room support from a single processor, you may be interested in this bit of information. If you're implementing the Scheduling Awareness module, you can't support more than ten rooms from a 3-series processor. Fusion Support Group admitted to me that they hate the Scheduling Awareness module and how bloated and processor-intensive it is, but they also said it isn't a development priority. So, ten rooms it is. If you're not using it, you can get more like 15-20, but they wouldn't give me a hard and fast answer on that. This is with a 3-series processor, mind you. I wouldn't try it with a 2-series.

There's more information to be had on multi-room support from a single processor, but I won't bore you with the rest unless you think you'll have use for it. Good luck!

Fusion SSI. Multiple Rooms in 1 program

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. I just finished the Fusion class last week but the answer to this question was only partially answered and now I regret not asking enough questions during the class.

It was explained to me in class if I have 1 processor running 3 rooms than I can add 3 SSI Modules (main module) to the program and make sure the SSID is different. Do I now need to add 3 "Fusion Room" symbols to the Ethernet Slot or somehow tie them all to the same Fusion Room symbol?

I only ask this because I was told that a program can only have 1 Fusion Room in it but if I only use 1 and try to tie 3 SSI modules than i would get jammed signals and I can't see this working properly. My gut says to use 3 Fusion Rooms but I remember being told you cant have more than 1 per program.

Re: DIN-CENCN-2(-POE) anyone used it? I'm not impressed!

 

I have latest TB on a different VM to my normal production VM. Always the same issue.


Re: DIN-CENCN-2(-POE) anyone used it? I'm not impressed!

 

same ver of toolbox?


Re: DIN-CENCN-2(-POE) anyone used it? I'm not impressed!

 

To update this.
I still can't connect to these by USB on my MBP /Parallels combo. However my boss using MBP boot camp win10 had no problems connecting.


Re: DIN-CENCN-2(-POE) anyone used it? I'm not impressed!

 

No they can be outside the range and you can change them no problem.
ReportCresnet is your friend.

Re: DIN-CENCN-2(-POE) anyone used it? I'm not impressed!

 

Does anyone know if I need to change Cresnet IDs to within the range accepted by the DIN-CENCN-2 before I connect them to the unit, or can I still access and change them after they are connected?

I'm thinking of Lincoln's earlier comment:

Just beware that it has a hard limit of 20 devices per leg ¨C as in only IDs 03-1B are available ¨C so pay careful attention to designers and consultants who may either try pushing limits or specifying Cresnet IDs that aren¡¯t accessable from programming

?(I nearly got bit by this a few months mack in Infinet ¨C the devices will let you set any ID from 03-FE, so an installer helpfully logically addressed them by floor even though every floor had its own gateway (e.g. 10-1F first floor¡­70-7F 7th?floor) but you only have access to 6something in SIMPL.

Guys,


Thanks for the feedback.
What I've noticed is that all feedback &?ReportLightLevel works fine after a cold start but breaks after a ProgReset or ProgLoad.

I have another 8 here so I'll try the others and check that I don't have a dud.

Cheers

I have seen this happen on a few remotes. ?Haven't figured out if it's a bad battery connection or something else.


Re: Content and Control over HDBT

 

It's just Ethernet over HDBT, so you need an IP module for the projector or a Crestron Connected Display module from Crestron database. ?Crestron connected features, if built in, may need to be enabled and assigned an IP ID. ?Sometimes you have to convert IP ID value from decimal to hex.

Re: Content and Control over HDBT

 

I haven't done this, but from what I have seen when you configure your output cards for the receiver you choose HDBaseT Receiver and then just add your serial driver for that device. Im not 100% as I have not done it, but that's what I see.

Re: Lutron Radio Ra2 r05 Maestro Dimming module not working properly

 

i see the start/stop commands
I don't see the Y & Z values being sent as part of the string
just ramp to X value
I see the Y & Z values are passed in, but don't seem to be added to the string
maybe needs a MSP to make it work - i'll add one & see what happens

Re: Lutron Radio Ra2 r05 Maestro Dimming module not working properly

 

It sounds like the raise/lower button is being released inadvertently. For Raise and Lower, the module sends a "start ramp" command when the buttons are pressed, then a "stop ramp" command when they're released. The stop command isn't exposed outside the module.

The analog input sends a single command to "ramp to X value, over Y period of time, after Z delay ", triggered by a Serial/Analog One-Shot. It's hard to say what would cause that to not work, without seeing the code.

I am trying to use raise/lower to a Maestro dimmer module

I have had to fix the modules to be threadsafe, no THREADSAFE keyword or
semaphore implemented a single press works OK, but if you hold either
raise/lower, I see the analog feedback change but then bounces back about
1/2 way as the true feedback never catches up

there is a ramp in the module to simulate the feedback until the Lutron
side catches up

I watch the debugger and see the artificial feedback, but it only sends a
couple of values to the actual Lutron system, the last being about 1/2 way
through the ramping

I have tried just using the analog (not raise/lower) same thing, the
Maestro module doesn't send out a string for each analog change
