Re: Lighting in Simpl from scratch

 

Thanks, Brian, for the add'l insight!??
I see now that you're not talking about CH by itself (UIs tied to the CP4R) but using SMW-based UIs to connect via CRPC to the CP4R...?
I can definitely understand that CH is built primarily as a closed system.? Although Crestron loves to promote Pyng/CH as the way to go with lighting vs. D3? (Both suck in their own ways of course)

Interestingly, I'm just now quoting a program upgrade project (with ADAPT of course!) That has Pyng controlling Lights, Doorlocks and 12 TStats.? The client was showing me how the Lighting SO would go blank at times - Maybe this is the same issue...


Re: VTPro - Copy+Paste

 


?VT Pro is the best software I've ever used said no one ever.

I have seen all sorts of issues like that but normally they go away after program reatart. 3-4 versions prior to current there was aanoying bug when multi selection with held down shift would quit working after a while.?


VTPro - Copy+Paste

 

I know I'm being redundant here regarding VTPro F/U's...

Are others seeing this with the latest VTP, SG and DBs??
I just needed to Copy/Paste a few elements from one subpage to another. When I select and then Ctl+C a Button or text object, the selection jumps to another button/text and will only copy that item - I can copy 'a million' versions of that item but not any other item that I select...

JB. I have no idea what to do for this stuff. If you would put something together I will test.

Yes I could spend the time to learn javascript but at this point it is a matter of time, focus, and return on investment.? Right now I'd rather figure out how to create a driver for Crestron Home than learn another programming language.

P.S. I don't think you have a chance of being the oldest guy here unless you're also on Medicare?

In that document, they say you can test if your version of Node can execute the crypto libraries be running this test:

let crypto;
try {

I just ran this an one of my Pi's running node.js and yes crypto support is available.

I suspect Crestron is using node.js in their new series 4 processor for CH5.? So it may even be possible to do this on a series 4 assuming Crestron gives you the ability to run node javascript files yourself.? Although that is probably not the case because it would give you the ability to bypass CH5 and make your own webserver.

Really, javascript is not that hard to learn.? I am not really a? programmer type and I was able to learn it within the last year.? And I am sure I am a lot older then any of you guys. It would be a good idea to learn JavaScript if you plan to do any HTML5 projects.? Javascript is the language of the web browser.? All node is is a program that runs javascript outside of a browser -- usually has the backend for a web server.? And node has excellent documentation.


Data Video SE-2200 Crestron Module

 

Hi All

Can anyone share Crestron module for Data Video SE-2200.

Re: CH5 web panel release

 

That's either the firmware on the processor or the ch5-cli version.
In terminal type "ch5-cli --version" this should be 0.1.52, if it's 0.1.47 that'll be your issue.

I had an issue updating mine, it just wouldn't...
My install is in the appdata/roaming/npm folder, deleting the ch5-cli files in there and the ones in the node_nodules/@crestron folder then running "npm i -g @crestron/ch5-utilities-cli" command again updated it.


Re: Anyone willing to write a Mr. cool Module?

 

Seems like this might fix the Cryptojs encryption issue.



It's been a few years since I studied that in college but the math looks right to me, and rjndaelmanaged?is doing the lifting, which is a microsoft released class.

Might just be a bit of copy and pasting, but I don't have the thermostat around to check if it works.

Re: ChromeCast Players

 

Cool, thanks for the info IBG!


Re: ChromeCast Players

 

If you get the new "Chromecast with Google TV" (terrible name) it has some decent control. I am using CEC to control it. As a bonus, you can do quite a bit with these devices as you can install Android applications for additional functionality. I am only doing media playback and have control using: navigation, transport, etc.?

Very nice device for $50 with 4K HDR playback.?

Itai?

Hello - I'm in need of a module or code example for an Electronic Displays EDV111-7240 LED sign...the protocol document is a bit murky and I'm not having much luck controlling the sign.

Any info is appreciated!

Re: ChromeCast Players

 

Thanks Linc!
Yeah, I had a unit a few years ago that I thought had IR control, but we were just using it for cheap PC connection/no system control...


Re: ChromeCast Players

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have a Chromecast Ultra that integration is limited to source selection (via DM) and CEC control for basic transports. Can¡¯t say I¡¯d want much more ¨C but most of what I do is throwing YouTube videos on large screen so most real control happens from the laptop, desktop, or phone that I¡¯m casting from

?

AFAIK, none of the actual Chomecast devices have supported IR (though of course devices that support CC but aren¡¯t actually branded as such are their own set of special)

Hi All,
Has anyone integrated one of these lately??
I have done it a couple times a few years ago, just wanted to see if the current crop of players still supports IR Control??

TIA!!

Re: CH5 web panel release

 

Thanks for this. It has been helpful.
When I try to deploy the .ch5z to my processor I get "Error: SFTP directory is not set.".
Do I need to configure something on the processor?

Dear Rogelio,

Do you have DataViewer software of extron with you? if not kindly download the Dataviewer software from extron website. once you installed the dataviewer setup there you can mention the required module and you will get the right command code for controlling the module.

Hi Crestronfreak55,
Good Day!!!
Thank you very much for the modules you have created. By the way i am newbie in this field, i had CTI-P 101 long time back (2014) since then i haven't touch any programming. I used to handle full Site Projects from scratch to handing over.?
Since our programmer left the company and went to his home country for good, i'm the one who needs to handle crestron programming.
almost done with it like controlling Projector Screen, projector Lift, projector, Stage Curtain, Extron IN1608 except volume control of DMP128 plus. All i need to do is to control Pre-Mix Gain and Mute of Channel 1 and 2 of DMP 128 Plus. I used your module Extron DMP 128 Plus Input Gain-Pre mixer gain. Two of those, Left and Right Channel.
I can mute/unmute but i cant control the faders up and down. Kindly support me on this one please.
Thanks you.

Sincerely,
Rogelio L. Lobrio
