Re: NVX USB routing - how to do it? #android

 

Tray,

You have to send the MAC addresses both directions not just from the Remote to the Local.

So Take the Device ID from the Remote unit and feed it into the input of the Local Unit
Then also take the Device ID from the Local Unit and feed it into the Remote Unit.

If auto paring is enabled then populating those 2 strings is all you need to establish the route.

Also just verify that the units are actually in the proper Local and Remote modes by looking in the Web UI. ?If you have 2 units set to Remote or local they wont pair.

Thanks!

I'm not familiar with SecureTcpClient.? Are you saying that any module that uses an https client connection to a device is affected?

Thanks

The include4 is the culprit! Crestron has been informed of the problem, and Toine is having someone look into it.

To get it working, you just need to compile against the lInclude4 {2.18.112).. It is easy to replace. Control Concepts, has it saved off if anyone needs it. This should?affect?other libraries that use the SecureTcpClient.

You can request the include4 by emailing projects@....

Bambam_101 if you are on the Crestron Home facebook group, you could unload those CP4-R¡¯s pretty quick.? There are a lot of integrators looking for some.

Re: Controlling motorized shades with DIN-AP3

 

Firstly, RS485 is wired differently to RS232, worth confirming you are wired as per the following:?

You haven¡¯t mentioned what brand of motor/motor controller, as such can¡¯t help with any specific commands, but for this functionality you should be able to just use a Serial I/O symbol per blind in SIMPL.?


Re: Converting CP3-R to CP3

 

What about CP4 to became CP4-R ?
is that possible too ?

this will save a lot for the actual situation of all integrators


Re: Skaarhoj TCP for ATEM Switcher

 
Edited

The TCP port for the connection to the Skaarhoj ("scar-hoy") device is 8899



I used a Serial IO with the following commands in ascii and used \x0A (Linefeed)? as the only delimiter but see what works...
from memory I think the linefeed delimiter was all I needed for the Tx but I see crestronfreak55 has also added the CR(\x0D)?
I am not sure why I only used \x0A but it worked that way with the SIO and I think I had issues with the full CRLF delimiter but see what works
eg: same as examples from crestronfreak55
ProgramInputVideoSource:0=5 (switched input 5 to output 1 )? note the Caps have to be used as shown.


Re: NVX USB routing - how to do it? #android

 

Thanks,?

Yes, that part of the cabling is good. Although the NVX port labeling isn't real clear.?
I should have been more specific in my request.?
Am seeking advice on the programming.?

Thought it was as simple as sending a MAC address from the keyboard/mouse control endpoint into one of the seven serial inputs on the USB subslot for the target PC NVX endpoint.?
Seems it may be a lot more complicated than that.?

Thanks again,?

Tray


Re: NVX USB routing - how to do it? #android

 

At the PC end, you have to use the UCB-C port out of the 360s. Check that since it is a common misstake.?


Lutron Leap broken in SIMPL 4.20

 

Hopefully I can save someone else a bit of time and headache with this info.? I found out today that the latest SIMPL 4.20 and latest databases causes Lutron leap integration to stop working.? I ended up setting up a test machine with SIMPL 4.18 and have it working again.? I'm busy trying to commission a job today and didn't have time to fully dissect this issue, but I'm sure its bound to affect others.

I did spend time on the phone today with TB support and they weren't aware of the issue.? Of course.

Here's the software info that is working.?

NVX USB routing - how to do it? #android

 

Am looking for guidance regarding how to make USB routing work for NVX.?
These are 360/360c units, not using a Director.?

I can get FB from the control point (where the KB/Mouse live) and send that to the destination PC.?
However, the USB never connects. Set the transport type and the layer.?
Am told that there is some kind of negotiation or handshake with MAC addresses that needs to occur??
If so, it is not at all clear how one goes about doing that.?

Have spent most of a week trying to get this to work with no success.?

Appreciate any insight from the group since OLH or NVX product pages have no info on this at all.?

Thanks, - Tray


Controlling motorized shades with DIN-AP3

 

I am trying to write a program to control some motorized shades in an apartment complex our company has designed and installed.??

We have 7 motorized shades and the only functions I need them to perform are:
Open the shades
Close the shades
Stop the shade movement

The shade manufacturer send us a document of serial command strings, RS485.? ? We are unable to get control over the motors, is there anyone here who might be able to assist on this issue??
I'm not sure if we need to parse the commands or? where to even start as I'm just now diving into this new job and language.??

Looking for module or program assistance in controlling motorized drape rods

I share your pain.


Re: RMC3 to RMC4 No TCP/IP

 

Modules not compiled for 4 series processor. Open program then open modules affected (simpl+), recompile for 4 series and try again.

Had same issue a while back.

Re: Converting CP3-R to CP3

I'm quite sure that the FW the Answer ID references will only work with 3-series (CP3 specifically it seems). I'm sure that it's possible, but will Crestron provide this?...

Re: TSWs - the fact that there's a completely different SKU for the -r panels, and that they're MUCH cheaper than the one's we have to work to program, really upsets me - It's very prodigy-like...
They have other apps that can be chosen thru the menu, why not 'HomeUI'...
Not responses needed, just got triggered again...:)

Re: Converting CP3-R to CP3

 

Great news. What about the Home touch panels though? We have some with no home processor for them until Q3 2023. If they would be converted to standard panels, we could actually use them!

Unfortunately, the truth hardware motorization solution for a casement window can't be quickly removed off the crank bolt.? However, in some casement windows I've seen it is fairly easy to disengage the window from the opener mechanism.?

I have a truth hardware motor installed on an awning window; which also has locks.? I only use the locks during the winter when the window will never be opened.? When I do this I disengage the safety cable that connects to the window screen.? This is a safety feature designed to keep the motor from operating when the window screen is removed and someone could be partially through the window when the motor closes it.? With the safety cable disengaged the motor can't operate.

In the case of the DIY system I put together for a slider window it only takes a second to disengage the Soon Industrial linear actuator from the window and it can then be manually operated.? RollerTrol has a battery backup for their linear actuators and a small UPS could be used with the Truth Hardware motor if you have issues with power outages where you live.?

Hopefully this answers your questions
