Re: Simpl+ Editor Problems
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOk, one more thing.? So, you are working in SimplWin, you
right-click on an S+ module, and choose Edit User Module from the
pop-up men.? Any way to make that open VSCode instead of the
Crestron S+ Editor?? That is a much more efficient workflow than
having to open VSCode and locating the file to edit.? Thanks Jay On 1/21/2024 7:04 PM, jbasen via

Re: Simpl+ Editor Problems
In playing with it some more, you can modify the extension to compile in 4 series.
Locate extension.js and edit with a text editor: C:\Users\[your username]\.vscode\extensions\mwgustin.crestron-simpl-plus-1.3.0\out\extension.js on lines 76 and 91 at the end where it says series3, add series4 and save.? Reload VS code and compile your project.? In the terminal window, it should show seires3 and series4 compiling. i.e.: 76: processSimpl("\\target series3 series4"); 91: term.sendText(compiler.buildCommand("\\target series3 series4")); |

There is a plug-in for VS code for SIMPL+.? I have not played with it much, but it seems to work.? I typically have VS code open for other things anyway.? It appears to only have compiling for 3 series with ctrl+F12.? Just compile it once for 3-series then click on the terminal tab.? Push up to repeat last command and change the last line from series3 to series4 and hit enter.? (or add series4 if you want it for both)? This will compile for 4 series.? To recompile, just do up again and hit enter.? |

Re: RMC4 weird behaviour

Re: Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today
Thanks for the interesting article.
I faced this question in practice with the beginning of the large-scale invasion of Russia and the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Literally from the first day, almost all objects had to be added Light Masking mode. Later - to solve the issue of constant long-term failures in the electricity supply. We had to work out the procedure for maximum energy saving while the house is powered by batteries. We have been using the input voltage control relay for a long time - this is Ukraine, there are problems with power quality here. We have been building a local network independently for 10 years, so this system did not cause any problems. Local network and router backup has been done for a long time. With the beginning of the war, we began to reserve the Internet channel as well (we started another public provider or use Starlink). A long time ago, I developed a system for remote access to objects that do not have an external routable IP address. I had to add a notification module to Telegram (this is such a widespread messenger in our region). With the help of notifications in a special chat, I understand exactly what is happening at the object, and special commands through the same chat give me the opportunity to launch certain processes. We also encountered water reservation in practice. The most interesting case is the installation of a flow storage for water in a city apartment. I can tell many interesting cases from practice :) |

EDIT: One update: i loaded the program again via web-interface. Program load is successful, but status of the program says "stopped".Though I am using a frame-work with an S# core, I have seen pretty regularly when loading to 4-series, that the program will load and show that it is complete and running but then almost immediately show that it has stopped. In this case it has actually stopped and I generally reload and it is fine after that. I suspect that your issue is different, but I wanted to tell you about it in case it has some value.... This is happening ~ every 5-8 loads, when I'm iterating a new system to get it going. It is definitely a *new* issue that I had never seen before the last few months... Also, This is happening at least the last (2) 4-series release FW |

Kodi control on 4-series
Hello all!
Has anyone managed to get the (now free) "Kodi Media Player" module from Shandonsoft work in a 4-series?? Lots of errors when running and while basic control seems to work, real-time information is not.? Or, any alternative for Kodi control with 4-series? Thanks, Thanos |
Re: Simpl+ Editor Problems
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThanks but I have mine set to 125% to make things easier to see.? Even so, this used to not be a problem for the S+ editor.? I've had the same DPI setting in windows and have been using a font size of 12 for a long time without issues; until now.

Simpl+ Editor Problems
Just checking if anyone else is noticing issues with the S+ editor when the font size is enlarged to make it easier to read code.? If I change the font size to 12 I get random changes when I try to edit code.? If I change the font size back to the default value of 8 then it works fine.? I'm runnning v4.06 of the editor.
Thanks in advance for the help Jay |
Re: EX Trouble-shooting
Oh you must have a short memory.? I've always had issues with Crestron wireless stuff including your issue with 2 dimmers in the same box and one acquires and the other does not.? The big thing I found that works is just have the RF gateway on line and turn off all the other dimmers you already acquired.? If necessary, move the gateway near the dimmer temporarily.? And of course the most important thing is make sure you have control of all the nearby wireless access points and WiFi devices.? I've even seen wireless subwoofers cause WiFi issues on the entire WIFI band? If there are nearby neighbors that you cannot control their WiFi channels, look for an alternative lighting solution.

It makes sense to have the dimmers at 100% or 0% to avoid switching noise causing RFI.??? The lights themself may be generating RF interference.? If the lights are off, there is no interference. Your dimmers may already be bricked and require an RMA. ...I don't remember issues like this 5-6+ years ago... |
