Re: PAC 2 third party integration
So, you are going to upgrade from Crestron to RTI? ? Awesome. ?The programming to hack that up reliably could run into more money than the difference between Crestron and RTI.? Really wish you good luck with that. ? BTW the PAC2 is a processor . . . ? Hello all,?
We have a takeover job where the owner went to prison for laundering and this new customer is doing a complete makeover except for the lighting panels and so forth. We are getting new crestron keypads though.
My question is that were are going to be using an RTI control system, and they have an existing working PAC2. Is there any way we can control the PAC2 with rs-232 and how would be go about doing that? Were barley getting familiar with Crestron products.
If it is not possible would another solution be to add a crestron processor to be the middleman for communication?

Re: OT: Verizon Wireless Service
I am about 7 miles from the nearest tower.? -117 to -123 signal was unusable except outdoors in direct line of sight. ??I installed a Wilson WeBoost amplifier system and I now enjoy -80 ish 4G.?

Re: PAC 2 third party integration
That solution is for 3 & 4 series. The PAC2 will not work with that.

Re: OT: Verizon Wireless Service
We are in a remote rural mountain area and I installed a Samsung VZ femtocell many years ago. All phones show 5 bars. It is hooked into our Internet which is a radio tower about 13 miles away.

Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today
My latest article, "Integrating Natural Disaster Detection Sensors into a Smart Home¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.
Severe weather, wildfires, smoke from wildfires, and even earthquakes are becoming more, and more of a problem for people in regions that never had to deal with these problems before.? This article looks at sensors that can detect these events and how the information can be leveraged 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:

Re: OT: Verizon Wireless Service
I might add that even though I have good WiFi signal and a crappy cell signal and I have my phone set to prefer WiFi calling, it will try to use the crappy cell signal instead of WiFi --? Both for WiFi calling and for Internet browsing.? In those cases, I have to turn on airplane mode and then re-enable WiFi.? I noticed this both with my Android home and with? clients' iPhones.? That use to not be the case but now that is what I have to do.? One step forward and two steps back with newer technologies.? Particular annoying when clients try to do a speed test and think their WiFi speed is bad.

Re: OT: Verizon Wireless Service
I have had that issue happen to me several times.? Cell companies are constantly upgrading their networks with new technologies and removing old equipment.? First it was when they discontinued 3G, then it was CDMA (Used by Verizon and Sprint for voice calls), and now the push it to get everyone over to 5G from LTE. 3G and CDMA is pretty much gone now.? I think they are now reallocating frequency bands used for LTE over to 5G. So while some of the older services still work, their frequency bands are are slowly being reduced.

Re: Send Email: Series 3: How in holy Hell?!?!
I believe I followed all the instructions, including changing the include path in the SIMPL+ module, but I will go through them again to see if I missed something. Thank you!

OT: Verizon Wireless Service
Hi All,
I've been a Verizon Wireless user for 20-25 years in New England and always loved its Great coverage and reliability.
For the last 4-6 months things seem to have gone south, even sometimes with WiFi calling.
I wanted to see if its was just me/our area, or if other Verizon users have been experiencing a recent degradation in performance...
TIA!

Re: Cisco Room Module - MS Teams URL Serial Too Long for SIMPL Windows
Is this a limitation in the module or with an MSP tied to the serial output? I'm pretty sure simpl windows can handle up to 1024 character string now. if it goes above that then you still have the same issue.

Not Crestron - Need Windows USB driver for Revolabs Executive Elite MIC controller.
I just couldn't think of a better group to ask.? Looking for a link that I can download a USB driver or a forum that might cover this.? It is a confrerence room system I have, but because of issues with the AVIA 1280 and audio over usb connection they moved it to the windows computer in the system.? It had been working fine for 2 years until the pc updated to windows 11.? Now I had them restore back to windows 10 but it still doesn't recognize the controller.? If someone can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

Re: Cisco Room Module - MS Teams URL Serial Too Long for SIMPL Windows
This is just one of the many reasons we have moved away from using Crestron control panels to control Cisco Room Kits. We have found it much much easier and "future proof" if we simply add whatever outside controls we need to the Cisco Touch 10 / Navigator panel. Its just become to much to try and keep up with the constant changes / additions they keep making to the Cisco API to go along with the limitations of the current control modules.

Re: Send myself a text when....
This is good to know. I am not entirely sure why, in the 21st century, we still have to be kludgey when it comes to emails and Crestron.
Mystery of the universe I suppose...
Thanks.

Re: Duplicate IP-IDs on same network with different systems
Yea we did this type of thing as a redundancy solution and It was slightly quirky at first but in the end it seemed to work pretty well. Not sure if thats the solution you are working towards here, but the multiple processor/ID part of it did work for us.?

Re: Duplicate IP-IDs on same network with different systems
Thanks, Guys!
That's what I thought but wanted to get some confirmation!!
