I got this to work using a simple SIO and TCP/IP connection on port 23. For hex commands you'll need an extra \.
Example:?send DEC-PROJ-1 rs232 \\x02\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x02 \n
used this to get an NEC Projector to power on.

This is the S+ code snippet for code I used:?

This is the data sent with the command in quotes /x22
3
This command tells the server to send back the first reply from the 232 port.?
NOTE: did not find a way to subscribe to 232 replies, so you will either need to know the index number of the reply, or you can just have the most recent sent back (which is what I did here).?

( This is sending via the server not using the supplied endpoint modules )

Spent a few days on this and could never get it to work.?
Did direct IP to the display, instead.??
Try to send 232 commands from the Zyper management platform web page.?
Type text in the window, text is sent when you click *outside* of that text box. There is no 'send' button on the web page.?

For the 232, you will need to put the command sent inside of quotes, especially if there are non-printable characters. This is not clearly stated in the API document. Tech support made me aware of this.?
EX: the Panasonic \x02PON\x03, without the start and end chars, the server connection does not choke.?
However, with these chars included, the server connection will reset and the command is never executed at the server.?
Also, The head end server has a command suffix that is always applied to 232 commands. This character can be changed but feature cannot be disabled and is \x0D by default.?

That said, I could set the endpoint 232 baud rate settings via command line. This does work.?
set device <receiver Name> rs232 9600 8-bits 1-stop none\x0A\x0D

How do you know what the full filepath is? If I have the default program ID tag set in the header, would that be in \simpl\app01?

So correct location of this file is "\simpl\app01\EventScheduling.dat", therefore in the module would be "\\simpl\\app01\\EventScheduling.dat"?

I've been looking into this as well.

The supplied Help file for the encoder makes it sound very confusing...

"RS232_Join - Setting this value will join the encoder's RS232 port to the decoder with the specified Device_ID."
"RS232_Control_String - This string is the serial data you wish to pass to the joined decoder."

And vice versa for the encoder Help.

Wait, so in order to use the RS232 port on a decoder, I have to connect an encoder to a decoder, then send my control string to the encoder, which will then pass through to the decoder? WTF...I can't just send strings to the decoder? Am I reading that correctly?

I am having issues controlling the display off the rs232 port of the zeevee decoder as well. Did you ever get this to work?

I had a case open with support for this exact issue and it never really got figured out. It would happen every few days where my location was set as default and it would un-default itself on its own. They sent me a test VTZ file to try and it didnt do it with theirs, so I loaded my original vtz back in and the problem stopped so I didnt really get an explanation why this is happening. Maybe remove and re-add your weather widget??

If you engage support again my case# was?210310-000467 although not sure if it will help.?

Hi,
? I have an odd issue with the weather widget grabbing a bogus area code and setting it as default. I have tried everything including hard coding it in the VT project and although it keeps the hard coded zip, it only takes a day or so for it to add this ghost address and setting it as default? The ghost address is always the same and just appears out of nowhere. I have initialized the panel and checked project up and down to make sure this zip is not in it, but somehow it keeps showing up. I have also had this happen on other site locations. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Post a screenshot of your module and connection logic.?

Thanks Michael,

I tried the updated module, no joy.

No indication of a version change on the Application Market, but the?QSYSControlV5_0.clz file is vastly different in size compared with what I've downloaded in the past...

the module on the app market has been updated (silently) on Jan 24th. Maybe that helps?

Hello Tarik,

I see the problem you are having but it seems to be a problem with the Astronomical Clock symbol itself which is used in my module.? As you stated you are GMT +5:30, but the Astronomical Clock symbol only allows for a GMT Offset of 5 or 6, not 5.5 which is what you require.?

I would suggest you try using the GMT Offset of 5 and then add a 30 minute delay symbol to each of the Lights On, Lights Off output signals.? This will delay the action by 30 minutes to give you the extra 30 minutes you need to trigger events at the correct time.

Hope this helps.

The one thing that can sometimes trip people up with this method is when the lights get dimmed to zero.
If this happens, then zero is the new scene level.
The next time the scene is recalled, the lights will not turn on.
The only way to turn them back on would be to dim them back up.
Because of this, I had a client reverse their wishes to have that method of control.

Just a little something to be aware of...

The dat file has to be in the "Program ID Tag" folder (what is set in the Program Header in SIMPL Windows). You might have to reboot the processor a few times to get it to show up.

Hey there, I'm using a CP4N and unable to trigger events from the Event Scheduler module. I have the file "EventScheduling.txt" and "EventScheduling.dat" both with same content and located at \NVRAM\EventScheduling.dat or .txt

Simply this in the files

Zach,

No, you don't need to check the box.
The check box is only for allowing the keypad button to save to that existing scene.
I've done similar things as Chris ... use a TP to edit and save scenes.
It's simple to create a virtual KP with all of your scenes.? Definitely check the box on these buttons.
Then based on the room selected, the available scenes can be shown with their associated loads.
Loads levels can be adjusted and the scene can be saved with a hold of the button.

The check box does different things based on the type of button style that you select.

• Button press with dimming - the scene is overwritten at the end of any press-and-hold dimming operation.
• Button press without dimming - the scene is overwritten with a press-and-hold of the button.

I've rarely ever used the first method, because it seems ridiculous to overwrite the scene every time you dim.
The second method can be nice because I explain it like the "saving a radio station" method in a car.
For example, the top keypad button can be the scene with the scene loads on the remaining buttons below.
If the client wants to save the scene, they just adjust the load levels and hold the top button to save.
If they accidentally overwrite a scene, they can hold the top button for a longer time, and it will revert back to your programmed levels.

I hope this helps!

David,

Colorbeam is a low-voltage, DMX based lighting system that supports tunable white and RGB.
We've used Colorbeam products with success, but not with Crestron Home yet.
There was a Colorbeam driver released for Crestron Home a while back, and it looks like it supports RGB and tunable white.

Their system can be a bit quirky on initial setup, but once it's up and running, we haven't had any issues.

Good luck,
Brian

How many individual button presses does the single button cap (HZ-BTN-RKR5) for a Horizon keypad (HZ-KPCN) allow?
Is it only a single button press, or two button presses (Top and Bottom), or three button presses (Top, Bottom, and Center)?
Curios on the other keycap combinations as well.
On the road with no access to D3Pro, and the above info seems elusive.
Thanks!
