Re: Crestron integration with forbes & lomax keypads
#simpl
Hi Javier,
As Brian said, since Forbes & Lomax are Contact Closure devices you can use C2N-UNI8IO to get the CC from the Buttons. For the Rotary button, you will have to select the 0-10V model connected to DIN-IO8 which could be quite expensive. Sebastien |

Re: Crestron integration with forbes & lomax keypads

Javier,
I believe that the Forbes & Lomax devices are simple contact closure. So, the short answer would be yes, but this wouldn't include their rotary dimmers. Also, I would be sure to mention to the client / designer that no visible feedback would be provided on the keypads. Good luck, Brian |

Crestron integration with forbes & lomax keypads
#simpl
Hello everyone I have a customer who wants to buy forbes & lomax keypads, he does not want to use crestron keypads. Is it possible to control that devices with crestron?? Thank you so much for your support. |

Re: Question: Easy way to convert a Crestron Mobile to Crestron App project??
Follow-up...
Well! It did convert the project, with small text, but the BIG THING is that it did not copy ANY Joins!!!? so it is, as Natalie pointed out, not actually compatible... Typical Digital Age: All promise and no delivery!...:) |

Re: Home appliances integration with Crestron?

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWell, it?s as always depending on the use-case and the environment. Most people try to get their dryer and washing machine out of way to avoid seeing and hearing them ¨C this includes beepers signaling they?re ready. A lot of people find it convenient if they get notified when the machines are done. This can be a text message or just a flag on a wall panel or even some immediate response like flashing lights (although I wouldn?t like that, personally). One use case is the daughter waiting for her favorite trouser to be done ¨C with a status flag on a wall panel you know when it?s ready without having to walk into the basement (and find it?s 10 minutes to go). ? We also have enough trust in our machines to let them run without being at home. I don?t see the point in having a washing machine when i?m only allowed to use when i?m at home. If something goes wrong, hopefully the smoke and/or water detectors will notify me. ? ? Cheers, Thorsten ? Von: [email protected] <[email protected]> Im Auftrag von Geoffrey Reynolds ? I'm still at the point where I don't see the allure of most of these smart appliances.? I see value in something like a refrigerator or freezer being able to tell me that the temperature has gone above a threshold.? But I don't see any value in the washer or drying being able to alert me on my smartphone.? We don't let either of those run when we aren't in the house and they both make beeping or buzzing noises that let us know when they're done.? I've heard too many horror stories over the years about someone who left their dryer going and came home to their house burned to the ground. ? I get the whole "the customer is paying me to do XYZ" thing though. ? Geoff ? On Sun, Aug 1, 2021 at 4:31 PM Thyce : <thyce.colyn@...> wrote:

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOn the other hand I'm a big fan of having my washer, dryer, and
dishwasher send my wife and I notifications when they finish their
cycles.? My washer and dryer also beep when done.? However, I
might be in my shop with the door closed to keep sawdust out of
the rest of the house, working in the garage, or working outside.?
In those locations I would never hear the beeping.? I simply use energy monitors on the circuits for these
appliances.? I monitor the energy use in the Crestron processor
and send Pushover notifications to my wife and my smart phones.? I
also send announcements to the Amazon Echos in the house.? It is a bit of a challenge to do this with energy monitoring.? The dryer is easy as it uses quite a bit of energy just to spin the drum.? The washer and dishwasher use varying amounts of energy as the go through the various portion of a cleaning cycle.? However, if you study the data you can come up with a pattern and program the crestron system to look for that pattern.? It works well and doesn't invalidate the warranty on an expensive appliance by adding relays to the circuitry.? The downside of the technique is that if the appliance gets replaced you probably have to modify your code. I'm using a TP-Link energy monitoring smart plug for the clothes washer and a Shelly EM for the dryer and dishwasher as the energy monitors. I also have similar notifications setup when the mail gets delivered to our mailbox at the street :-) Hope this helps Jay On 8/1/2021 5:21 PM, Geoffrey Reynolds

Re: Home appliances integration with Crestron?
#crestron
Getting washer and dryer status into the system is something I'm very interested in myself.? We are moving from a house with a washer and dryer that?for the past 21 years have been faithfully sending us a text?when they are done and flashing the lights if we are watching TV or listening to music.? Now we are moving to a house with "smart" appliances and it seems like way more work to integrate them the obvious way rather than just add a relay in parallel with the buzzer like I did to monitor the?old washer and dryer.? I've never had to worry about an update breaking things or having to cycle power to the washer to get it back online and those are some of the worries I have about maintaining a "smart" connection rather than a "dumb" relay.? ? Let us know how you do with integrating them.??

Re: http command works when sent from a browser but not when sent from a Crestron system
Hi Jay, I use Wireshark at work exclusively on remote machines.? I RDP into a remote server or PC, install Wireshark, then before starting a capture I add a filter to keep the files size down.? It hasn't failed me yet. Good luck, Thyce On Sun, Aug 1, 2021 at 12:18 PM jbasen <jay.m.basen@...> wrote:

Re: http command works when sent from a browser but not when sent from a Crestron system
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThanks Ken, I am sending multiple different commands to the hubitat that all
work perfectly.? It is just the for suspending watering until a
date that is causing issues.? So, I know that the token and
authorization are fine.? My guesses are that it is either a header issue or something with the way the url (with the date) is being encoded that is causing the problem.? I was hoping someone would look at the url, that has more http knowledge than I do, and the issue would be obvious to them. Using curl is a great idea since there is much more control of
the headers than with a browser.? Thanks again Jay On 8/1/2021 11:51 AM, Ken Ragan via

Re: http command works when sent from a browser but not when sent from a Crestron system
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThanks Wyatt. The challenge here is that I'm almost 5000 miles away from where all the hardware is located so trying to use wireshark is a bit of an issue.? Also, all the commands the software is sending to the Hubitat work with the single exception of the command to suspend watering.? There is just something different when the date is attached to the end of the url that works when entered using a browser but doesn't work when sent through S#.

Re: http command works when sent from a browser but not when sent from a Crestron system
I have no experience with the Hubitat or the Hydrawise, but ideally the response for an auth issue should be a 401 or 403 and not the 404 that you're seeing.? A 404 is supposed to indicate an issue in the URL string.? However, it could be worth a try to leave off the access_token URL parameter (and/or supply a bogus value) on the Crestron call and see if a 404 is still returned.? If the response changes to a 401 or 403 then you have some confidence that you're not dealing with an auth issue with your access_token.? Also, may want to try the browser calling the URL without the access_token and compare that with Crestron calling the URL without access_token to see if there's a difference in response/behavior between the two in that scenario.?? I've seen some equipment that needed certain headers before playing nice, so another suggestion would be adding some of the headers that aren't currently being sent from the Crestron call.? To help with issues like this I tend to use the curl command from a command prompt instead of the browser when troubleshooting.? If a basic curl command with no headers works, then I would suspect something in how the Crestron program is formatting the command and at that point you could try comparing the curl call vs the Crestron call (with the webhooks site or wireshark) without the noise of the additional headers that the browser introduced.? If curl also fails when you use it without headers, then could try adding the headers one by one that the web browser is sending.?? Good luck!
