Hi All,

Having a strange issue with a CHV-TSTAT. ?Every time I connect it to the processor via cresnet, it reboots the processor constantly in 1-2 second intervals. ?Processor just blinks the green PWR button over and over. ?I've triple checked the wiring, even redone it to be on the safe side. ?The TSTAT itself actually turns on (powered from the HVAC unit) and works perfectly fine. ?Tried it with two different processors, CP4R and CP3, same behavior. ?Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

That’s one of the best parts of how Crestron implements the dual ports on the NAX.
By default, port 1 is the discovery/control port, and port 2 is the AES67 streaming port.
CH will discover it on the main VLAN while the NVX/NAX can stream on the AV VLAN.
Just don’t plug in both ports until you have them configured for dual mode.

Also, the control port is where AirPlay lives, so that should be on your client VLAN.

Good Luck,
Brian

In answer to your question, yes we have successfully setup a Crestron Home system with NAX and Sonos on the same network.? While another member of our team set up Crestron Home, I did setup the network configuration.? The DM-NAX requires requires your switches be setup for IGMP snooping just like the DM-NVX.

I doubt that you could put either Sonos and/or NAX on a separate VLAN without doing some fancy network configuration mainly because Crestron Home normally cannot discover devices on other subnets.

Would that not just flood network as well?

I should have mentioned, for this site, they are using the Araknis AN210SWR24POE switch.

Has anyone successfully setup a Crestron Home system with NAX and Sonos on the network? Running into issues, seemingly revolving around multicast, with NAX and Sonos being on the same Network/VLAN.

Hello, is it possible to have a copy of the poly G7500 module you used.....Thanks in advance

I played with Construct for about an hour.? My main takeaway was "time to knock the dust off my HTML/CSS skills" and went down that avenue instead, although Crestron has issues there as well (specifically with their default template).? ??
??
? It's like Studio if tried to be a WYSIWYG HTML editor.? Has that same half baked feeling as Studio.

I love this group!!!

BTW, I have already programmed/tested the User interface and that is the only part that I'm not concerned about...(Who knew!!)...
Though, As with every updated generation of Crestron devices, it would be nice if they kept to same/similar SMW interface and just added what they needed...

There's some misinformation there. The long integer to integer warning is a genuine warning that you may be losing data due to downcasting from 32 to 16 bits. Whilst it's never normallly an "issue" persay, it can be rectified by casting the assignment. Casting in Simpl+ is done by surrounding the long with brackets, for example:

LONG_INTEGER myLongInt;
INTEGER myNormalInt;

myNormalInt = (myLongInt);

The #SYMBOL error is telling you that the 2 AVSwitch modules are symbol named as V3_04. #SYMBOL names should be unique to the file version.

Seriously!!

I'm mean, is Crestron really concerned that a 'press-fit' mounting like the old CHV units would not hold this thing on??
NOTE: Though I found no info in the manuals (Ha!) and tech support had no idea as to the *Best Practice* for removing one after it is LOCKED onto its sub-base, we did figure out that if you put a tweeker at a 45 degree angle into the slots at the bottom right corner, you can use this to leverage on the back plate to pull that corner of the stat off its detent. then the tweeker can be used to pop off another detent and the unit comes off...Like I said, the uninitiated will be damaging something I'm sure....

Could not agree more.? Please have the engineer who did the industrial design retrofit 10 of these in a project and wire 5 of them with a 2 stage heat, 2 stage cool, with floor warming and a remote temp sensor and then ask him if he thinks he designed an installer friendly piece of hardware.

--Mounting options--
FAIL - base plate mounting holes too close to the margin of the drywall opening
Self drilling drywall anchors
Mollys
Plastic anchors
Toggles

MAYBE
Retro ring with wings - stat slightly proud of the wall depending on the make of the ring
Retro Carlon box with wings - have to "dado" the drywall paper and some plaster to get the stat to sit flush on the wall

WORKS
SG LV ring mounted horizontally
SG 4-square plaster ring mounted horizontally
Carlon SC100A (my favorite) -?

The crashing while trying to acquire I have seen in the field and in my case it was always due to the remote shipping with old FW.? I updated the FW to release and that issue went away.? Also for those who missed it in the release notes I should mention that you can change the RFID on an acquired 310 via the numpad and top hard buttons mapped to A-F.? Nice add.

Yes, you can set the alarm via RS232, I do it every night. There is a keypad simulator, it works just like the panel keypad.

Today I started to *bench* the (7) units to get them ready - Wifi connect, FW, IP-ID, IP address...? Found two items:

Yes, I set up a dedicated 2.4g SSID for the stats (See TStat website/Specs/Communications).? Four of the Stats connected and were able to be set up with reasonable ease apart from the really long reboot and file transfer times.
The other three stats would never see their SSID though they would routinely see the client's main and guess SSIDs and of course the ad-hoc SSID from the crappy HP ENVY printer sitting next to me - So I guess I could get the TStats to print...:)
Support and I tried a bunch of things including setting our special SSID to both 2.4 and 5g like the client SSIDs and doing Factory Resets but they would not see this SSID.
Result: Crestron is advance replacing 3 of 7 TStats...?? ?We'll see on the next round...

?Gonna be a lot longer list than this shortly!? Wait till you get to the programming part.

I just timed it, my build speeds are 1 min 16 seconds for the first build after starting Construct. After that it's around 35 seconds for each build. I'm using it on a iMac that's running Boot Camp with Windows 11.
