Bump

Anyone hear anything new yet?

I just got a DM-PSU-8-PLUS and it cycles some very Louis fans every few minutes. I only have two Poe connections at the moment and it runs quiet than really loud then back to quiet.

I am not worried about warranty; anyone made one quiet? This is in my hall rack outside my bedroom amd will drive me nuts if I can’t silence it (need it to be much quieter).

I found a YouTube video to do quiet fans in my Hikvision camera NVR and that worked great for that noisy beast.

Sounds like it's expecting tenths of degrees and you need a ascale somewhere in your programming

You need to experiment with the flashers.? Some devices can be blinded by the output level of the flasher.? I would hold the flasher a few inches away from the front of the PVR and repeatedly hit something like an arrow key while you move the flasher around to see if it respond.

But another issue (and more likely) could be the IR driver you are using is flaky in some way.? So it is on the borderline of working.? You may have to relearn the IR code or use something like VERT to convert the Crestron IR file to hex format.? Then go in and manually clean up the hex file and then import it back in.?

Having a oscilloscope with an IR sensor adapter can be invaluable it checking the quality of the IR code.? You try you IR driver and than compare it to the IR from the original remote.? Not sure if you can still buy scope IR sensors but you have easily? make one with a IR photo diode.

One final thing is this remote may be a muticode remote whereas the driver you are using is just sending one of the multicode.? That will cause all types of intermittent issues as a lot of devices won't respond correctly if you aren't alternating between the different multicodes.

for posting the "Sonos Line-in control" modules in the File section.? I would have never guess it would be possible to control a Sonos via SIMPL or SIMPL+.? Found it works great with the Sonos Connect S1 that I use to downgrade S2 systems to S1 systems when the need arrives.

The big question is does anyone knows if it will works with a Sonos S2 system or even better the Sonos Arc in particular?? Have a project coming up when I need to send a client's Bel Canto streamer to a Sonos Arc.? There is a Sonos port in the rack that I plan to connect the Bel Canto streamer output to.

Thanks,
Steve

Reinstalling XPANEL did the trick, thx for the tip.

Hi, i just have seen your post. did you get around to make the Module for the p300? I have to control a p300 and would love to have a module to set the volume and get the correct fb analog value. Glad for your help.

thank Michael

Autonomic is probably your best choice. ?Easy to to integrate, fairly reliable, readily available.

Any word on this?

Thanks John

Did some more trouble shooting this weekend and have PVR 1 working better but speed of channel surfing still not at same speed as PVR 2 when using ML 600.

When I use ?PVR remote directly both PVR’s same to respond same speed. ?That is why I think still IR related. ? Do you know or does anyone know does IR emitter ?see through sticky side attached to IR eye or through front facing part?

And would anyone recommend where exactly IR emitter should be placed relativel to IR eye on PVR?

should it be place right on center or off to side.?

Thanks

Easier solution:
- Add a space between your '%u' and the ending '}'

MakeString(TempStr$, "{\"A%u\":%u }", Index, Value);? ? ? ? ? ? // First solution

MakeString(TempStr$, "%s\"A%u\":%u%s", "{", Index, Value, "}"); // Second solution - This will preserve the 'minified' JSON.

Why?
Crestron formats it explicitly with the "D" format specifier (i.e. {0:D}) rather than leaving it as just {0}.

Additionally:
- You don't need to use \x22 for quotes, you can simply put '\"'

Note: The analysis below is somewhat inaccurate (as it has incomplete context). It has less to do with the fact that C# uses {{ and }} for format arguments, and more to do with the way Crestron explicitly formats the arguments, which translates to a presumed custom format without the space between the escaped braces. Crestron does what they should be doing and doubles up the braces to escape them accordingly, but without the space there you run into the scenario described: {0:D}}}

You'll notice that if you were to simply MakeString something like "{}" it would write exactly that because internally it translates to something conceptually similar to string.Format("{{}}"). Thus, the braces themselves are not the problem themselves, since you can still use them in a MakeString call... You just need to understand what's going on under the hood to work with it.

Guided access is the way to go, you just need to factor in onsite support when it goes wrong. ? If the ipad needs to be restarted or the App force closed / restarted and you don't want anyone having the passcode you will physically need to go to the device.

we use the app on ipads in a number of communal settings without guided access mode. ? ?We just restrict the app settings page and set it to auto load and therefore its very difficult for anyone to get in to the app to change things. ? We then remove all the other ipad apps for the device leaving only the Creston App on the first page and sign out of app store etc.

its still possible for someone to screw up the ipad but its a compromise between useability and allowing local onsite support.

The short answer is no - there is no current product that does what you're looking for.? Everything outside the car moved to streaming 5+ years ago.? You may find some old units that support RS232 control but there is nothing current that's satellite-based.

Most Crestron equipment? (except for power amplifiers) today have switching power supplies where the neutral/line are completely isolated ? from ground and can tolerant quite a bit of voltage on the ground with respect to neutral (as long as they aren't connected to anything else).? It depends on the power supply and the load but I see a lot of stuff that will operated all the way down to 60VAC line.? A bigger issue is brown outs and power glitches.? Some stuff can tolerate a brown out of any level and not lock up.? More the normal is some equipment will lock up with a power glitch and require a hard boot to restore operation.? But on the worst end, some stuff that I work on will literally blow up with a very expensive repair if the line voltage drops below 110V. I don't think you will find a spec more detailed than the range of voltage operation.? For example, my laptop power supply is spec to operate on anything between 100 to 240VAC.

If you lift the ground on a piece of equipment, many, if not most, will have about half the mains line voltage (60VAC in the USA) on the ground pin and they will continue to operate properly.? The issues however can occur when you start connection stuff together.? It is the ground different between different pieces of equipment that will cause the damage.

For example, we had a Samsung TV that just had a 2 pin power plug.? If you measured the case of the TV to the ground pin in the wall outlet, it was 60VAC.? The current however on the ground was quite low so it wouldn't even shock you.? And the TV worked fine too.? Connect anything to it that was grounded and the voltage drop to zero. But when you connect the HDMI cable from a Control4 room box to it, the 60VAC ground voltage blew up the Control4 receiver.??? We landed up connecting a ground wire between the TV chassis and the wall outlet ground and had no more issues with Control4 blowing up.

At another employer I work for, 90% of the HDMI boards we replace? in receivers have blown up CBL/SAT HDMI inputs.? The reason is many Cable and Satellite systems are grounded outside the house at a different grounding? point that the power line (usually near the power pole) -- that is what code requires too.? Ideally, you want your cable satellite provider to also ground the cable to the electrical? panel when it comes in the house.? If it is not, that is when the CBL/SAT inputs get zapped.

Neutral to mains ground?? ?

Earth ground should not be shorted to neutral anywhere outside the breaker box.? So, I don't know if the ground/neutral voltage difference is problematic.? On nearly all power supplies with a neutral and earth-ground 3-pin plug, there is a common-mode choke transformer in-line with hot and neutral.? Earth ground connects two capacitors, each to hot and neutral to filter.? ? Those EMI filter capacitors can cause 2V/AC that you measure at the wall.??

IMHO, things lock up from transient dropouts on DC power.? ?Is the power supply for the processor loaded near max ratings??

One advantage to 24V is you have a lot of headroom before you reach the minimum voltage needed to generate 5V/3.3V etc.

What else is sharing the supply powering the processor?

About 12 years ago, I had problems with the Crestron host seizing up periodically that was fixed by hosting it with its own 2-series (the one that is smaller than a paperback and doesn't have Cresnet).

TBH:? in this day and age?? ?Bluetooth receiver to my phone.? Done.
