Re: Content Player

 

hi John,?

You can set up an interactive presentation such that playback of specific content is triggered when Brightsign received a UDP message from Crestron and when playback starts or completes, you can configure Brightsign to send a UDP feedback msg that you can use within Crestron.?

I have implemented such in the past. Let me know if you need further info.?

You can also configure the Brightsign unit to cater for network uploads and avoid having to physically load files on the SD card.?

Re: Infratech patio Heaters

 

Thanks for the reply we do have that unit I get 10 v coming from the Crestron dimmer. However the heater only gets 70v max. Any thoughts on that> I also see they provide a contact closure from the infratech panel. What do you use that for ? Thanks
Re: Dish Network

 

Does this also apply to the dish wally device? I have to control one of these for a client and I have never used the product. Does it have IP control? There is a CCD package on the Crestron IO site but wanted to make sure to see if it works or not.
Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

My latest article, "How Sensibo Pure Manages Whole House Indoor Air Quality¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

The article is a hands on review of the new Sensibo Pure air purifier and for Crestron programmers the article includes a link to a free Crestron integration module that can be downloaded from my Github.

You can find the article here:

Re: Content Player

 

So we have a brightsign script for audio playback.? It works great, but the down side is that you have to physically pull the SD card to load new audio files.? So I am playing with BS Author and can't seem to find a help file or video that directly pertains to what I would like have it do.? ?Which is to make a UDP call for an audio file and then get a response when it completes.? This is how the script works.

1.? Pulse SIO to UPD/IP com? Play Sound
2.? Receive UPD message that Play Sound is complete

Does anyone have an example Crestron simpl and the paired BS project that I can look at?

Usually, there's a minimum acceptable amount of header info that products require and finding that can be time consuming. ?The process of stripping something down to its barest essence is called Muntzing. It's some good geeky early A/V history actually, I have my grandfathers Muntz 8-Track in my office for inspiration. ?

similar to the C2N-UNI8IO is the GLS-SIM, which has two 0-10 inputs on it which could go behind the rotary dimmer.
Re: Home appliances integration with Crestron? #crestron

 

In my house I monitor my "dumb" washer and dryer. For the washer it has a light that comes on when it is done- I just use a photocell light sensor taped over that. And the dryer is gas fired so I use an old Crestron ST-CS since it is below the 10 amps max. Works perfect for telling me things are done.??
Re: Simpl compiled zipped file is missing sgd

 

Well that reassuring because none of us use crosspoints haha <rolleyes>. Been using them forever and this issue didnt always happen so as usual we have another bug being introduced with an update...
Re: Has Anyone controlled an (Australian) Foxtel Now Box over IP?

 

I have controlled one with an irUSB (from videostorm). It was a fair while back and from memory we had to side load the app. Personaly I prefer the IP option but I assume Flirc would also work.
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.

Re: Crestron integration with forbes & lomax keypads #simpl

 

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: http command works when sent from a browser but not when sent from a Crestron system

 

I just wanted to follow up that adding a little bit of extra header information to the http request solved the problem.?

Thanks again to everyone that responded with suggestions.
Re: Question: Easy way to convert a Crestron Mobile to Crestron App project??

 

I ran into the same issue in the past, just add a new button to the old layout an give it a random join number, convert again, this time the joins should be also taken over to the converted project.
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: Simpl compiled zipped file is missing sgd

 

I just confirmed that the issue indeed is caused by the presence of a Crosspoint symbol, and this is probably why Dave H was not able to replicate the issue at first.

Well, 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

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.

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.??

Best of luck,

We just purchased a washer and dryer combo and both devices are on the network sending notifications. I'm sure there is a way to integrate with Alexa and have it, send notifications back the the system.
