Only once or twice in all these years I have been able to get debugger to run for more than a handful of hours. Probably was a 2-series. On these 3 and especially 4 series even with the idle time set to infinite and even watching only a small amount of signals, debugger will always find a way to just stop on its own. Its unreliable for anything after 15 mins or so.?

I've controlled several Tivo Minis on various projects using the ethernet
module. However, the technicians always took care of configuring the boxes. I
suspect there's a setting somewhere to enable ethernet control.

My latest article is the second in a three part series on the resilient smart home.? The first article focused on making the smart home systems in a home resilient to natural disasters, and other events, that can impact the ability of the homeowners and their family to live in their home.? This second part in this series of articles focuses on making other systems in the home resilient.? The final article in this series will focus on leveraging smart home technology to avoid having issues in your home and, again, leveraging smart home technology to minimize the damage to a home when an issue occurs.

You can find the article here:

The first article in the series can be found here:

For those interested in earlier articles that I've written, you can find those here:



I've found a new site to host my blog so for those that want to see even more content I've written about smart home technology you can find that using the link below. The process of exporting all my old content from Blogger and importing it into WordPress was far from perfect. So there are formatting issues with old posts and images that didn't import. I will see what I can do about correcting some of these issues over time.



Thanks

Slip,

I bet the SystemInfo issue you are having is related to the hardening of the processor. ?This command "SETLOGOFFIDLETIME" defaults to 20 minutes IIRC but can be changed. ?If you have text console or debugger open but idle, this command will kick you out of those too. ?I typically set this for 60 minutes when I commission each system.

HTH,

I have a Tivi DVr and 4 TiVo minis,
I am using the TiVo 3 series module and can connect to the main DvR unit via the Ip and control the unit.
The same module will not connect to the ip addresses of the TiVo Minis.
How do you connect to the Mini units and control them, these can all be controlled via the TiVo app

Thanks

Yes, "check for update" is enabled in the ipad IOS settings for all the panels. And the panels are being updated. The ones in question just don't see the logic ie the new ir file. They see graphic changes but not the logic.

In the main iPad iOS settings if you scroll down to Crestron Mobile Pro G is "Check For Update" enabled? If not then it wont pull the new UI update it will keep using the old one.??

It's not available.?
Already been through this with Lutron.

You have to use the modules provided by Control Concepts.

Hi.
Is it possible to control the sensitivity of the knob in an MPC3-302?
OOTB it's giving me a resolution of 5,461d, meaning it takes only 12 steps to go from 0d to 65,535d, which is unacceptable if you're doing volume control.
Using the clockwise/counterclockwise feedbacks along with an AINC also doesn't work, since those fire about 3-4 times a second max, regardless of the speed you're turning the knob.
FW & SW are updated to latest.

Thanks.

Hi All,

Anyone has access to the new Lutron LEAP API?

I do not have a Lutron account.

Always slot 1 for me in multi-slot systems.
The system info tool takes forever to populate, quite often hanging at 30 or 50%.

EDIT:
Also, another thing that is different to 3-series - If I open system info and eventually get it to populate, leaving it for any length of time it appears to drop the connection.
3-series will stay connected forever.

Sometimes it is easier to troubleshoot with multiple user interfaces if you use unique signal names on the touch panel and ipad definitions, such as TP01 Projector Power, TP02 Projector Power, iPad01 Projector Power, iPad02 Projector Power, etc. and then connect all of those signals to the command input on the IR driver using an OR gate.? That way you can follow the button press and subsequent action a little easier in Debugger.

?

Hope this helps a little.

The buttons are joined directly to the ir driver for the new projector. None of the ipad symbols in simpl use any buffers. The ir commands now work in the new panels. There was an issue with the user database that I corrected which is why it ir file would not work previously.? However, with the same vt program loaded into the ipad minis, and no change to the logic in the processor, the ipad minis, while updating all changes, will not recognize the joins in debugger or in the panels. There are buffers in the program but they are used for older touchpanels and not ipads. As well, I tried loading the program on my phone and again, while updating all the graphics etc, it is acting like the ipad minis. If I use the old ir Epson projector file, all the panels work fine but that doesn't tell me what is going on with the new file moreover there are commands on the new remote that are not in the old ir file that I need. So it seems like there is a problem in getting the ipad minis ( and now phones) to recognize the new logic from the new ir file. There is something I am overlooking.

Which is really stupid as they really should be setting these for User Project once they leave the factory. Especially since they have a dedicated -R version of these just for CH. Which is also cheaper so I would imagine 99% percent of the CH sites get -R versions of these panels. Leave the regular ones as they should be- User Projects.??

I also run a script for panels for initial setup and one of the commands in it that I had to add was APPMODE DISABLE since we have seen similar issues. But shouldnt have to do that in custom settings with a custom panel.?

I'm having the issue with the latest release at a site I was at last week.? I have 3 slots in use and the issue only seems to happen with Slot-01 for me.? I don't know if t hat is because it is the largest and most active program on the processor or if it is a slot specific issue.

Are the buttons directly joined to the IR driver or is there some logic like buffers or xpoints in there somewhere?

I've had an issue like this and chased it for too long. Turned out to be a duplicate IP address. Dante and control had the same IP. Dante audio was passing just fine but the switch was very confused. I also have had Sennheiser Cockpit Control (Their software) causing issues on my personal network as well as a customers. The Cockpit software was flooding the network most likely looking for its family of products.

Thing is, the project file IS being updated in the ipads with the issues. New buttons and changes show up no problem. If I include logic with ir codes that already exist in the program there is no problem. However when I add in the new ir codes for the projector, joined to the same buttons, the processor sees the buttons but the logic does not engage ie active inactive on the panel and in debugger. BUT, with the other two ipads loaded with the same new ir file and buttons, debugger does see the logic with a button press and so does the panel buttons. But the IR code doesn't work. Very strange.
