Re: Crestron Go not accessing processor remotely (CP4)
#cp4
First off, I would recommend using a VPN instead of port forwarding to access your Crestron system remotely.? Unfortunately the UDM Pro won't do OpenVPN.? But if you do? want to do port forward anyway, at a minimum, I would recommend changing the port numbers.? In particular, the https and ssh ports.? Some ISP will block common ports like these.? The other thing I would do is limit the range of IP addresses that can connect to the UDM -- otherwise your CP4 would likely be prone to relentless attacks from every Tom, Dick, and Harry.

resolve dns hostname s#
I have multiple processors on my network, I'd like to resolve the ip addresses by hostname. However, for some reason if I try to point it to another crestron processor, it cannot resolve teh ip. But if I point it to any other devices on my network it returns the ip.?
I can ping the hostname from my computers terminal, but not from within crestron console. Out of ideas on why this wont work. ie Im using this to get the ip address of my tv: IPAddress ipAddress = Dns.GetHostEntry("Samsung").AddressList[0]; CrestronConsole.PrintLine("\nDNS Resolved: {0}", ipAddress); |

Crestron Go not accessing processor remotely (CP4)
#cp4
Processor: CP4
Network: Ubnt Dream Machine Pro with Ubnt L2 switches. DDNS domain is registered on both MyCrestron.com and on the CP4 itself. AUTH/SSL is enabled on both the CP4 and the CrestronGo app. I still do not understand how I'm not able to connect using Crestron Go. Here's how I have everything setup: UDM Port Forwarding Rules:? MyCrestron Domain Test Connection:? This is my first time working with a Ubnt Dream Machine, although it shouldn't be any different from their other routers/controllers. Is there anything I'm missing? |

Thanks! |

Re: TCP Client Stopped working
Chris,
I don't know if they are related at all, but ... I have still been having issues with EISC connections between 3 and 4 series processors. That is with the 2.7000.00040 firmware installed on the 4-series processor, which was supposed to fix the problem. Just last week, I updated a site to the 2.7000.00052 firmware hoping that would be a permanent fix. It is completely random and definitely a 4-series problem. About once every month or two I have to reboot a CP4 running a D3 program.? It shows connected in the IPT but the CP3 doesn't. If Crestron can't get its own EISCs connecting reliably, that has me concerned with all other ethernet communication. Fun times! Brian |

Re: TCP Client Stopped working
Thanks, Jonathan, Brian and All,
It definitely seems like a highly intermittent issue, might even be a one-off sometimes. I'll be connecting into the site that I've had this issue with and will see if the connection has failed again (been since Friday afternoon). I also have a case relating to this so we will see... Jonathan: It would seen that this has been an issue since the beginning of 4-series... Because of the '1' on the connect input (I'm changing this now) I can't try to restart on this project. Have either of you found that a toggle on the Connect fixes the issue, or does it always require a program restart?? FWIW, I set up a simple TCP client test on both CP3 and CP4 with nothing to connect to them so that they would just keep trying to connect, basically testing if the symbol would give up after a while, and both are still humming along since Friday afternoon. Both still toggle between Waiting and Failed, as expected.? The CP3 client waits a bit longer than the CP4 (20s vs 3s) but both stay on failed for just over 1 min then back to Waiting. On my Vantage site, the TCP client just stayed on WAITING... |

Re: TCP Client Stopped working
I've seen this as well. I have a case open with TB right now for it. What I was able to narrow it down to was if you lose link on the CS side of the processor that is what breaks the TCP/IP client. I was able to reproduce it everytime that way. I wrote 2 dummy demo programs and sent it in, one with a TCP Client and another with a TCP Server and took a video of it failing and a software reset/hardware reset fixing it.
I've never seen this on a 3 Series, only 4 Series, but I can certianly adapt my program to test it over on a 3 series as well. At home I have devices on CS that I'm using a TCP Client for communication and after switch reboots, switch firmware upgrades, power cycles, etc I've never found the devices to not properly reconnect. I just checked my case and no updates since April 1st when they said they would mock up my programs and get back to me. |

Re: TCP Client Stopped working
I've seen this since the very first CP4N we installed right after they came out, and your experience sounds a lot like mine. In S+, you can leave it to stay connected and automatically reconnect and it'll work, but a TCP Client symbol gets stuck waiting. Restarting the program is enough to get it working again. I've tried various catch-and-recover methods that seem to have worked, but I've been trying to make or use S+ or S# modules to handle TCP stuff anyway so I notice the issue less and less as a result. It's definitely not just you it's happening to!

Re: TCP Client Stopped working
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý?FTR, I almost never turn the connect off with any device and have not had any particular issues until now...¡° ? Same here. Especially in my home/test-system, i?ve got a lot of TCP Clients in the program pointing to devices that are rarely switched on or connected because i just need them for some specific testing. Never had a problem that the TCP Client wouldn?t connect after the device is connected or switched on. Actually, i?m assuming more issues with permanently activating and deactivtating the TCP Client, but it sounds as if that?s working reliably. So i think i?ll give it a try. ? Cheers, Thorsten ?

Crestron Home + DMP alarm lightweight integration?
#crestronapp
#crestron
Hi, I have a Crestron Home system and a DMP (XR 150/500) alarm. I understand that a full integration of the DMP system into Crestron seems not possible but is there a way to just have the alarm status (Armed or Disarmed) show in the Crestron app? Seems like this output should be pretty easy to obtain but i¡¯m new to this so would appreciate any tips or guidance! Thanks, Doug

Re: TCP Client Stopped working
Olivier,
Yeah, I'm not sure why I have a '1' on it (probably some legacy thinking...) at minimum, I usually make it an actual signal, that is driven by a '1', thru a buffer, so that I can at least toggle it in Debugger... I like the concept of your approach, though I find that more often that not, you want the comm's running all the time for status updates (unless its a 1-way control). This in particular is a lighting system so there's alot that I want to have ready to go without having to poll and wait. FTR, I almost never turn the connect off with any device and have not had any particular issues until now... This is a *Problem* with Crestron and their TCP client...hopefully we'll see a fix soon... |

Re: TCP Client Stopped working
I never use "1" on a TCPIP client module, I always use a connection manager to connect to the device when needed and close the connection after. This can be as short as a few milliseconds to send a command and acknlowledge the answer or as long as the system or page is in used, but never 1.
I never had any problems this way. At least disconnect from the device when it's not in use is a good idea. |

Re: DM NVX creates a broadcast storm for ~2 minutes every ~ 30 minutes
A big shout out to Crestron_Programmer_84 for all his help!? The problem was resolved by turning off Spanning Tree Protocol the VLAN that is used for the NVX and other things being controlled.? ?Once I did that everything started to magically work.? ?Looks like I need to do some reading to understand the relationship between IGMP and STP.
Thank you to everyone for your suggestions. Bryan |
