Re: BluOS Media Player?

 

The Crestron integration feels good, but it is the lack of services that make this product unusable for most.? No Pandora, No SiriusXM, No Apple Music, No Control for Spotify (* Spotify Connect only), No Control for Roon (Roon Connect only).? Using Tidal's verbage Connect - meaning that your BluOS Player can be selected as a device (Endpoint) in the native application (Roon, Tidal, Spotify).? You can at least play/pause/skip spotify and roon with the Crestron Media player object, but selecting music/playlist/favorites nope gotta open the app for that......

This product really only hits on the Hi-Fi crowd that uses Tidal, Qobuz, or (CD Quality) Amazon Music.? The BluOS Media Player object integration feels easier to drive than an MMS, but I don't have both side by side to compare.

I too am in search of the Music Streaming holy grail for Crestron, and a Crestron Home implementation for anything but Sonos is desperately needed.
Most of my clients tell me that they miss their Audio Request systems.

I"m having the same issue, but I'm using an AV2. ?I'm not able to find V1 of the module, so I can't test if that works.

You are correct on the Pandora and Apple Music.? Wish there was more options than the PITB Sonos.? Have a client that I was looking to use this, but the Pandora might be the killer.? They wanted Sonos as that is what they used in their condo.? Their main house they have an MMS-3e with Crestron and they wanted the carriage house isolated from the main house.? Sucks that this doesn¡¯t at least have Pandora for a service.? Heck, I thought Pandora was a standard for any streaming player now a days.

Unless their website is not up to date, it doesn't seem to support PANDORA!
I think this is a non-starter for most clients, especially since it also doesn't support Apple Music (I think only SONOS does, right?)

UC-Engine was installed last Monday and functioned all week without any errors until client changed Teams email account. Old account doesn't work any longer now.

My guess is an issue with Certificates or Domain policies.

Re: Sendmail Sharp General SendMail error

 

Yes gmail appears to be good (for now!)
I'm only using it on my home system at the moment and has been rock solid.

Re: BluOS Media Player?

 

Not yet Mark,
I'm very curious to see how these pan out as an alternative to MMS.
I really like the app and the Crestron integration does at first glance appear to be spot on now they have integrated SG.
My last couple of projects have had these as player only (no Crestron control) so unfortunately I've not yet had a chance to try these out with regard to Crestron integration.

Re: Sendmail Sharp General SendMail error

 

May I ask what mail providers you guys are using??
Had a client site where the end-user wanted to use their own mail address hosted from Ionos, where we saw similar issues. Ionos made some changes on their side in regards of security which seem the module can't handle. We then switched to a Gmail address and everything worked fine again.

You can actually debug this more by issuing the SHOWEXTRA ON command on the console of the control system, try to send a mail and take a look at ERR PLOGCURRENT afterwards. There you should be able to see where it fails instead of try to figure out what the General SendMail error is.


BluOS Media Player?

 

anyone tried the new media player code yet?
does it allow you to add multiple playlists to the playing queue?


Loytec LIP 3ECTC integration with Cretsron

 

Dear All,

In one of my current projects where advanced HVAC integration is required ,The HVAC devices ( Thermostats , Mix Boxes , VAVs? Etc..) are on a LON bus which is connected to an FT-10 to TCP/IP gateway/router from Loytec LIP 3ECTC.

The HVAC contractor is using the LIP -3ECTC to bind and send?
LON?SNVTs over IP to Honeywell EBI server ( Enterprise?building integrator).?
?
my question? i get Crestron PRO3 controller to communicate over IP with the loytec and share the LON over IP SNVTs without using the CGE-LON240? and what will be the DATA telegram for the same??

Actually the Loytec LIP 3ECTC? is a FT10 router which can correspondingly forward or discard lon pakets from one port to another.

any help will be much apprecioated

thank you guys in advance?

Regards;

Re: Setting a Simpl# Array Size based on a constant in Simpl+?

 
Edited

You can just call an "initialize" function of some sort and passing in your #DEFINE_CONSTANT identifier. Then in your C# you would have something like:
public void Initialize(int size) { array = new ???[size]; }
I've done this before when I know I only need an array of a max size (i.e. for I/O purposes for some functionality). The only difference here is that you need to ensure that the array is initialized so that it's not null if you go to use it before initialization, and you can't mark it as readonly either (since you need to be able to set it from outside the any constructor).

SIMPL+ can only call the parameterless constructor, you have no control over that. (Read the template comments when you first create a new SIMPL# Library.)

Arrays are fast since they are primitive, so if all you need is basic array features it should be fine to use an array. If you're developing a framework of some kind it is better to stick with encapsulation however. When instantiating a List<T>, it is good practice to set the initial capacity whenever possible to avoid unnecessary reallocations.

Re: Compiler Error "Local" #simplwindows #crestron #lighting

Ivan Wild
 

Thanks all for the input...

In the end it was not a "LOCAL" error.? I don't know why the compiler was listing it as such.? Apparently the signal list always shows "LOCAL" in the list regardless if you have any connection under that label or not.? SOOOOOO.... you cannot track "LOCAL" via the signal list or through the modules.

DON'T start deleting modules out of shear frustration looking for "LOCAL" as it is a waste of time and causes endless track and repair issues.

So what was it... (at least in this situation, in my program)

INTERSYSTEM COMMUNICATIONS SYMBOL
I use them to reduce the network load to prevent unnecessary updating to crosspoints.? I don't know if this is the correct usage of this symbol... BUT... what I just learned... if you do a global rename and the label is on an intersystem com symbol... it will update as - undefined.

SOOOO... I had "one" undefined or green line in the intersystem symbol.? The compiler, I guess, is not smart enough to show you this error item so it labels it as "LOCAL" error.

I have a GOOOOOOOOD amount of intersystem symbols so this was indeed very irritating to track down.

There was a clue that I should have seen right in the beginning and if you are reading this trying to track down your issue (in that you fell into the same problem as I had) ... most likely in your compiler error log within two or three lines of the failure error, you will see a connection error of something you don't determine very important to deal with at this time like an end of line instruction (like turn on this light...)? ... open it and it will show fine which mean it "should not be" a compiler error... follow your connections and you will land at the connected but undefined label.? Re-label, go kick your cat,? fart on your dog, and move on.

... again thanks guys for commenting and helping


Re: Lutron integration issue

 

Hi Guys,

We have continually had issues with the third party lighting licensing on Crestron processors.
The Crestron processors block communications based on the MAC address of third party lighting systems such as Lutron, Vantage etc.

The way we implement our systems now is to put the lighting controllers on a separate VLAN and configure inter-VLAN routing in our routers/switches between our "Control" VLAN and "Lighting" VLAN.
This way, the MAC address is not passed across VLAN's so Crestron will not block connections to the lighting controllers.
This also eliminates the need to request the third party lighting license from Crestron.

In some cases where we have enabled authentication on the Crestron processors (which blocks the telnet port) we have configured Lutron to use a different port for telenet and set the port on the TCP/IP connection in the Crestron program to this new port.
We have never had a problem with this method to date.

Hope this helps,

Rob Maher.

Re: Anyone seen iOS 14.1 brake Mobile Pro?

 

It could potentially be that they installed the Mobile instead of Mobile pro. They both sent me the screen shot settings but think both apps look the same. I haven¡¯t looked at the free old Mobile version in years.


Yeah, deleting the system and re inputting it again has worked for us as well. Didn¡¯t work this time

Also reloading the project file to the processor has worked for us as well a few times.

Spoke to Crestron and apparently something changed in the app settings in 14.0. Will update my phone and see if it still works.

Re: 3 series Processor Auto hard reset - looking for Opinions on Doing it daily

 
Edited

I just want to chime in and say that there's no reason to limit the uptime of a modern Crestron processor. I have some with 700+ days of uptime (client doesn't have a maintenance contract so never firmwared) and they are still solid. They're built to be powered on 24/7 for years and doing a regular power cycle isn't going to help extend the lifetime of the processor.

I remember as a radio station IT administrator having a couple mission critical broadcast servers and purpose-built embedded PC boxeswith uptimes of ~5 years (radio stations don't like planned downtime), just happily running server 2012. Systems that are stable like that should never need to rebooted, and properly configured and programmed Crestron processors are in that same league.
