I have just finished a project with this combo. The ir codes are learned from the remote, and the cable company is Armstrong in W PA. Will upload files in 5.
There are no transport buttons, as you need to hit menu, then use the L/R buttons to chose the action.

Don’t define the userproginitcomplete signal in your program. Essentially there’s a timeout that I believe is 20 minutes. If the affected program doesn’t “see” the programs’ init flag it goes into a timeout wait period. Just remove the signal in your program, because if something happens at program start you’ll have to wait for the timeout to expire before anything can move on.

Short story is that the local cable company had cable boxes running Tivo software.? Everything was the same and I could control via IP.? Fast forward to this week.? The cable company forced a replacement of the boxes and the new boxes are android based running Tivo.? Anyone seen these and know if there is a way to control via IP or IR?? I havn't put eyes on it yet.

The NIKO stuff you find on Crestron Website is more or less only switches/outlets etc because these were compatible with the CLWI devices from Crestron.?

If its the Niko Home Control II yout customer is haveing there seems to be an integrator and a hobby API you could use:?
Both of them seem to be based on MQTT where you can find some Crestron modules for on Github, eg:?



I must note that I don't have any experience with these modules.?

Hello Thorsten,
As far as i know there is no possibility of integrating NHC with Crestron, I've had direct contact with Niko about this.
If you do find a way to connect the 2 systems I would be very interested in knowing how.

Good luck,
Philippe

Last though, could it be due to the fact that most of the symbols are commented out in Scheduler as I am testing it? and only need the events firing for now and none of the adjustment parameters.

I have now done the following:

OK, so trying to make this work I have:

Created a new folder in the \NVRAM folder named Main using Fliezilla and transferred the Lighting.txt? text file to that folder.

Changed program tag to Main in the program, saved and recompiled.

Used?\\NVRAM\\Lighting.txt in the Serial Send and set using 1 and also manually in Debugger.

Toggled The Scheduler On and Off using panel.

It still looks like the events are not firing.

Hmm.? On my CP4 I have some of my code driven by data files that I place in NVRAM on the processor.? Those files are not in folders named Program01, Program02, etc. but in a folder with the name of the associated Program ID Tag.? So, my text files are in folders named AV, HVAC, etc.? Now it could be that your Program ID Tags are named Program01, etc. but I just wanted to throw this out there in case.

Thanks

Jay

Thanks Jay

The Event Scheduler code is not under the NVRAM folder but under the Program01 folder itself.? Also tried putting the file there and pointing the Serial Send to that but no luck!

Hi Adam,

I haven't used the event schedule in quite some time but I saw the earlier email that you were placing the file in the root nvram directory.? I believe you need to manually create the folder for the program slot where the scheduler code is running and place the file in there.? As one of the other posters said, the folder won't be automatically created unless the code running in that program slot tries to create a file.? However, I believe that is where the scheduler will look for its data file so you have to manually create the folder and place the file there.

Hope this helps

I have seen comments about the editor causing a problem, I am using notepad to create the file.

It looks like it is not loading the txt file.

I recall some time ago issue with the RMC, when it doesnt have the licence for the 10nprograms, wonder if that is it.

I have added a Folder under the NVRAM folder to be NVRAM/Lighting/ and put theSchedule.dat file there.

Still nothing.

The only time it is auto created is if the program tries to write a file to that nvram

OK thanks, will try that,

I did notice that I do not have a folder in NVRAM the same as the Program tag so loaded into the root NVRAM.? Would this folder normally be created automatically.

You might want to add Edit_Next_Event, Edit_Prev_Event, Edit_Event_Name & Edit_Event_Time to see if it is actually loading the file.

On the processor my file is located in the NVRAM Disk, in a folder that is the same name as the program id tag.
In the program I am using \\NVRAM\\Scheduler.txt

My file looks very similar to yours.
1,Maddie Weekday Disable,1,600,XXXXX--,XXXXXXXXXXXX
2,Maddie Weekday Enable,1,360,XXXXX--,XXXXXXXXXXXX

I only have the following populated in the Event Scheduler to test: (The times from Astronomical Clock)

Enabled
Filename
Morning Hour
Morning Minute
Night Hour
Night Minute
Event 3 Due

Does it need more than this as a base.

Many people have been very pessimistic that Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Samsung could work together in the development of the Matter smart home protocol.? However, we now have the 3rd update to the protocol specification and the list of companies releasing Matter compatible products is growing all the time.?

With this in mind, I set out to find a way to integrate Matter compatible devices with a Crestron system home system.? This article looks at the path I took to make this work and will act as a tutorial for others that want to leverage Matter in their Crestron smart home projects.? A similar technique could be made to work with other smart home platforms.

You can find the article 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
