Re: Scheduler for Christmas Lights

 

I cannot seem to make it work, this is what i uploaded to my MC3

1,Christmas Lights On,258,11252023,0,3,-30,\NVRAM\sch_cal1.dat,0,W,,PresetID=2
2,Christmas Lights Off,258,11252023,0,0,60,\NVRAM\sch_cal1.dat,0,W,,PresetID=4

I loaded the scheduler.dat and the sch_cal1.dat to the root of the NVRAM, does not seem to fire.
Any ideas?


Re: Crestron App - won't work on new android phone - need alternative

 

I have the same issue on my Pixel 8 Pro. Attempting to side load the APK still results in a message that the app is not compatible. Until Crestron updates the app there is nothing you can do about the 64bit only android phones not working.


Re: EISC from one Pro4 to many CP4N's with the same IPID

 

I had done a system like that multiple processors talking to a master processor. You can use UDP for all of your system creating a custom protocol with an header? who identify the message is dedicated to which processor.?

Or you can create a TCP server on your processor with a port range and each processor based on their IP address connect to a specific port.

I forgot to mention, we have about 50 spaces, each with CP4N, and I'm working on getting all of them on the exact same program that I'll be able to mass load. Plus, the head-end Pro4 manages all the NVX's in the building (they didn't buy a Director), and I only have 83 IPID's left, which is why I wasn't trying to do the separate IPID thing. We also plan on adding at least 20 rooms in the new part of the building, along with many more NVX's, so I'm trying to make it expansion-ready.

For my application, I was just having it refresh the text only when the remote processors push the tuner control button, so timing shouldn't be an issue.

I guess a TCP/IP Server/Client with xsig would work, so I may go that route, especially since it's very unlikely that all rooms would be pressing the tuner control button at the same time.

We also have a Fusion server that isn't set up yet that I plan on getting working at some point.

I agree with the proxy


Re: Scheduler for Christmas Lights

 
Edited

The module called Event Scheduler 2 will do exactly what you need.
Its part of the built in Crestron database.

If you have port forwards open on your router, even if they're secure, you will likely have the *darkweb* pounding on that port to the point that it can create a sort of localized DoS attach.
Try closing the port(s) and see if things get better...

I first found this out the hard way 6 years ago when a client called me and said that he couldn't connect his iPhone to the system from his deck on his local network...once I removed all ports, everything came back as normal.
around the same time, I had another client's system rebooting 3-4 times a day. closing ports immediately eliminated the issue...
I had used port forwarding for a decade and a half but this was a Sea-Change that made me go back and change all of my sites.??

Re: Crestron Go app questions

 

seem to be fighting 2 issues
someone trying to hack the system using obfuscated SSH port
Crestron Go app taking way too long to reconnect, even moving to another app for a few seconds
i connect remotely with my android phone & reconnect instantly after moving to another app, if app gone to sleep. only takes 2s
not sure what's going on with Crestron Go
authentication is ON


Re: Crestron App - won't work on new android phone - need alternative

 

all i can say is the client loaded the apk and tried to install
app not compatible
this is a Samsung S23 Ultra


Re: Crestron Home Losing Control of Roku using IP #cp4r

 

Never mind. I found a Roku at my house and tested that menu. It doesn't allow you to set anything. Just gives you information.

Maybe forget the wireless network? Then it won't automatically switch


Scheduler for Christmas Lights

 

Does anyone know if there is a Simpl module to allow me to schedule lights on day after Thanksgiving and let that schedule run until the middle of January, Then have it turn off.
I have looked at the scheduler modules and it does not seem to be able to do it. The owner wants no interaction to enable/disable it, just wants it to happen.
Am i missing something? Seems like it should be easy, i would gladly pay someone for a module if they have already made one. Just trying to get this done asap.


Re: Crestron Home Losing Control of Roku using IP #cp4r

 

Have you tried the secret menu to see if it will allow you to completely disable wifi or set a static IP to it?

Home x 5 > Fast Forward x 1 > Play x 1 > Rewind x 1 > Play x 1 > Fast Forward x 1


Re: Crestron Home Losing Control of Roku using IP #cp4r

 

I have a customer with a Roku being controlled through a Simpl program using the Roku 3 driver (not sure where that came from). It requires an IP address (no place for a MAC address) and I have a DHCP reservation for the Roku on the wired interface. ?The issue is when the internet is out and the Roku throws up the Connection Wizard screen and then switches over to the wireless connection the unit gets a different IP address. I tried making a reservation at the same IP address for both MAC addresses, wired and wireless, but the router says now way!

I'm not sure how to get around this dilemma and the customer doesn't seem to be able to not let the Roku connection wizard not change it. I keep thinking that I need to set up a way for to ping the two possible connections, wired and wireless, and have some logic connect the one that is active. I haven't tried but my guess is that they might both be able to respond to pings.

Anyone have this issue and have any suggestions?

Thanks,
David


Re: nLight NIO-X module

 

I wrote a module a few years ago. It's in the Files section. "Sensorswitch"


Re: Issues getting started with CH5

 

The vulnerabilities won't go away on my system, either. They are due to Crestron panels running on old Android versions and requiring outdated packages, from what I was told.

Also, I would use npm install @crestron/[email protected] because the latest version isn't working correctly. Same for webxpanel - version 2.5.0 seems to work.

I recommend this blog - kielthecoder.com for a bunch of practical hands-on stuff. If you search ch5, html 5, and javascript on his page, he has several informative articles where he talks you through a lot of this stuff.

The r/crestron Reddit has some good info also.

Re: Crestron App - won't work on new android phone - need alternative

 

Also you can try to find Crestron App on the web version of Google play for Windows, and try install it on you Android device from there :
1 add needed Google account to Android device (and sign out all other google accounts if they present)
2 on the Windows device opening Google Chrome and sign in to same account Google?
3 in the Chrome opening play.google.com and find "crestron app"?
(In my old win7, i found it successfully )
4 push install button, see on list compatible devices in you Google account and follow to prompt


Re: Crestron App - won't work on new android phone - need alternative

 

Dave do we have any update on the 64 bit release? We were told Q3 but that has come and gone.?


Re: Issues getting started with CH5

 

Those are two very, very different things.? Could one even build a panel on flash outside of vtproe?? ?
? I think of construct as more like system builder.? In both, I can see under the hood and understand how the file is created.? In both, I see what had been created and know I can do much better.


Re: Issues getting started with CH5

 

What makes it the right way?
I mean we could have built all the panels in flash, instead we used the wysiwyg VTPro and I don't feel it was the wrong way.


Re: Issues getting started with CH5

 

Yeah, it's kinda crap at tje moment(I've played with it) and I really don't want to go the wysiwyg route.? I want to learn to do it the right way.


Re: Issues getting started with CH5

 

Any reason you aren't using construct?
