Thanks for pointing this out.? I'll put it on my list of products for a potential future article.? On one hand it looks very cool with a very inviting price point.? My only concern is that it appears to be focused on controlling other Sonoff products; such as their smart plugs.? Whether it can integrate with other ecosystems is a big question mark.?

I need to do some research?

Thanks again

If the client has a Windows machine available, you could just load Toolbox on it and run it that way...? Even just TeamVeiwer into it...

I'm also interested in this, if others' have knowledge/comments...

Programming is all plain SIMPL.

And since I don?t have a clue what the level steps triggers, I don?t know what to write into errorlog.

In most of my modules I include an option to write debugging information to either the console or alternatively the error log for situations where I can¡¯t be connected to the processor.? If you don¡¯t want to fill up the error log you could put a memory card in the processor and write debugging info to a text file?

?

Hope this helps?

Hi,

i?ve got a client with a cinema room with a ventilation system with 4 ventilation levels.

I programed it the way that the ventilation switches levels according to the readings of a CO?-sensor.

During normal use, the thresholds work as expected and the ventilation switches levels as programmed.

When going to bed, the client reports that the ventilation is back to the lowest level as it should.

However, every morning when he checks, ventilation level has switched on level up, although the CO?-level is still way below the threshold.

?

But something seems to trigger the level-switch.

?

Any idea how I can debug such an issue? Unfortunately, the VPN connection to the client isn?t the best, so running a debugger logging over night is not an option.

?

Cheers,

Thorsten

Make sure you have one of the parameters at the bottom set to insecure, from what I can remember.

Hi,

?

not directly aiming to your programming problem, but for the use case you describe, i?d avoid any sort of automation because of the risk of damage/injury of gear and/or persons.

Lifts that are going from bottom to top, I always program to be activated manually. No issue if they sitting on the ceiling.

?

Just my 2 cents.

?

BTW: Regarding your actual programming challenge, i?d look into the ¡°Digital to Analog¡± symbol. That should do the trick.

Cheers,

Thorsten

Betreff: [crestron] NAX Chimes in SIMPL #simpl #av4 #nax #doorbell #chime

?

Howdy,

I'm hoping someone out there has had some experience with this. The help file isn't very useful for me. We are trying to incorporate the Chimes feature of one of our NAX units using SIMPL Windows.

This isn't for a doorbell; the intended use is for an outdoor TV lift. The idea is when a user turns on the TV, and before the TV lift starts opening/closing, an alert will sound out of the zone's speakers?to inform the user that the lift is about to start moving (for safety purposes).

I am having difficulties with the Chime#_Zone_Selection (analog) parameter. According to the help file: in order to select the zones in which the chime should play, I have to "
create an 8-bit word out of the zones: a 1 in each zone where the chime is to be played back in and a 0 where playback is not wanted. The programmer will then need to convert this binary word into a decimal value."

I'm still a new programmer, still learning about binary/hex and all the?different operation symbols in SIMPL. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction?

I am genuinely confused as to why Crestron is making the programmers do the conversion to analog instead of simply incorporating it into their module... Oh well!

Thank you in advance

Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

My latest article, "Finding Alternative User Interfaces for Smart Homes¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

Today smart phone / tablets and voice commands through smart speakers are some of the most popular was of controlling a smart home.? However, there are a number of readily available alternatives.? This article looks at some different approaches for controlling lighting, HVAC, and more in a smart home.

You can find the article here:

For those interested in earlier articles that I've written, you can find those here:



Finally, for those that want to see even more content I've written about smart home technology you can find that here:



Thanks


Re: Samsung USB to 232 Dongle

 

That sounds promising and I am definitely ok with IR. Have any of you controlled these models with IR, is so please let me know which file works or share it please.

75" QN75Q60AAF and 55" QN55Q60AAF

Thanks


Re: Samsung USB to 232 Dongle

 

Although the TV remote may be RF, the TV still allows for IR control.
I always have a spare IR Samsung remote in my bag for accessing the hidden menus, etc.

I agree with what others are saying regarding the USB dongle.? It has very bad consistency problems, if it even works at all.
IR control will work just fine on every Samsung TV I've ever installed.

Good luck,
Brian


Re: Samsung USB to 232 Dongle

 

So the tv we're trying to control does not have IR, the remote is RF at least that's what the on site tech is telling me. I guess I'm screwed because that dongle is not from Samsung.

Sending UPnP

 

UPnP Analyser allows me to discover connected devices that have UPnP enabled plus I am able to control those devices but how to translate that to Crestron Control.


VC4, modifying IP table for TCP/IP Client devices

 

I'm an in house guy who really strives for standard code across similar room types, makes changes/updates, etc? and even trouble shooting so much easier.? A lot of my existing code relies on modifying the IP table at runtime via either the console symbol or having a tech do it by hand in Toolbox.? ? ?
We're beginning to test with VC4 and am running into a brick wall with this.? I know that console is not supported in VC4 (for obvious reasons) and Toolbox is a no go.? I'm digging around in VC4 and not seeing any way to modify the IP table.? ??
? Amy I missing an easy way to do this or is my best option really to do everything via? socket in S+ (not comfortable in C# yet).? Any other tricks from? those of you using reusable code in VC4?? Thanks!
