Re: Verizon Fios Stream TV Box

 

Yea I would be curious about the remote DVR programming capability. The app itself will work when the 3rd party router is primary, but the My Stuff >Recordings? section will not show any DVR information at all. I just tried on my personal system where I still have my Pakedge router primary and it doesnt work for me. I also follow the DSLreports Fios forum where people have been trying to find an easy way around this for years and havent seen a simple one that works and keeps all the features intact.?

Re: Verizon Fios Stream TV Box

 

I have tried it both ways and both work fine. ?If customer adds a new Fios one box or has an issue and calls Verizon, they can see remotely that the Fios router is behind another router that will automatically be the cause of the issue and needs to be changed. ?Then you will get a call from the customer that Verizon said you screwed up their system. ?Always on a Friday night or weekend.?


MX70-Z w/ Zoom Room Video mode, stuck in 2 display mode & share screen appears on both Mercury and TV

 

As described in caption, not sure what have I done wrong, but checked Zoom Room App, Mercury & Crestron Asus PC firmware all up-to-date. The Mercury controls the Zoom Room just fine before share screen. When sharing, content appear on both TV and Mercury. Any pointers will be appreciated, thank you!

Thanks, Caleb,? but having not seen this before, it looks like all my old answers are lost unless I have downloaded them.? Worse is that we lost connection to all those Answer IDs that we were able to access as well as past Crestron Masters, etc

Re: Verizon Fios Stream TV Box

 

I'm sure you won't get callerID but fortunately most don't care anymore. Re the app, I think that my client did confirm that the app worked in our config...

Ditto to putting the FIOS router and MOCA connection behind your installed router. We confirmed that this works fine.

Running it that way you lose the on screen caller ID and the Fios DVR app. Also for any box updates it will not work- you have to make the VZ router primary for any STB updates to be successful. For our Fios installs we have had to make the VZ router primary and then put our router behind it on a DMZ which works fine, and the boxes get the connectivity they need. Same thing will be needed on the new Stream system. Although those Moca adapters are definitely simething I would want especially when I upgrade my Fios because I dont have CAT at every location. And damn $60 a piece...


Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

My latest article is the final part 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.? The second part in this series of articles focused on making other systems in the home resilient.? This final article in the series focuses 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 second article in the series can be found 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

I found the culprit, my f.....ing anti-virus


Re: SMPL Windows Erros "user-mapped section open"

 

I got to the point of installing everything from a clean hard drive formatted clean windows 10 install and then master installer.? ?Same thing.

If I delete the SPI folder it let me compile it once, the second time same error.


Re: Controlling Sony Projectors over HDBaseT

 

I know this is a old thread, but we finally got some new controllers (DMPS-4K-350-C) and I am having zero luck controlling Sony VPL-PHZ61 projectors over HDBaseT with them.? I can control over RS-232 via the Com port, but the same program that controls it in a DMPS3-300-C refuses to control from the 350.? I'm switching device connections to the same projector, so the settings on it shouldn't matter (or should they...).? In this instance I may just run an RS-232 line, but I would like to figure this out.? Is there a chance this is a firmware issue? It looks like the version I have is 1.8001.5375.17692.

Thanks.


Re: Problems with Simpl+ TCP Client to Simpl TCP Server through XSIG #cp3 #EISC #programming #simpl #splus

 

Hello again all! I figured it out, mostly by finding another thread on here:?/g/crestron/topic/udp_socket_stumped/35800731?p=

As Kool Aid-Drinker in that thread said:

"Looks like the character-encoding tagging of strings in Series 3 is
all kinds of fucked up.

Copy your incoming XSIG string into a temporary string that is tagged
ASCII (module and program level ASCII encoding is not enough!). Then
socketSend that temp string..."

I tried it, and it worked! For me, this looked like changing my CHANGE TX in my Simpl+ TCP client module. Here is what worked for me:

CHANGE TX { ASCII STRING ascii_TX[BUFFER_SIZE]; ascii_TX = TX; SocketSend(client, ascii_TX); }

Converting to ascii didn't work, ascii encoding didn't work, but this did. So try this out if you run into the same problem as me sending XSIG through a TCP socket.

It sounds like your library got corrupted. ?Close everything. Delete your "splsWork" folder and try to compile again. ?If that doesn't work, you may have re-install everything.

Re: D3 Data files.

 
Edited

So I just had this scheduler thing bite me again, with a 4-series this time (apparently I'm too old to regularly remember 753 different bug work-arounds )
am I right in understanding this issue?
a. 2-series requires rolling back DBs
b1. 3/4-series requires either triggering the enable for the scheduler on start - AND/OR -?
b2. manually create \D3_Pro\ folder in \NVRAM and?move the scheduler.dat to this folder

I don't have remote access to the site , but when I loaded the program on my test CP4, it didn't even create the D3_Pro folder, let alone load the Scheduler.dat file...
And yes, I said to load the scheduler file on upload...

Thoughts?
