Re: Monitoring Systems (Like OVRC and Domotz)

 

OVRC has it's quirks, but if you put a Pro Hub on-site it usually gets the job done for me.
?
That said, I also usually have remote desktop and/or VPN access to all my sites as well.


Re: Timeout to Start Login page.

 

OK. I tried that, and it looks nice, but like my other previous attempts, I can't seem to tie it in to the right thing to make it go to the Start Page.
I even tied it to a hidden button w/ a Digital press # on the TP, but now they both say that they have no destination.
Like I said, it may be obvious to everyone but me, as I'm still pretty green.
Hint?

BLUE STAR CASSETTE AC IR Learn issue

 

?I am currently working on integrating a Blue Star cassette AC through IR in a boardroom for our client. I have learned the Blue Star AC remote model R11CG/E using the Crestron IR learner. However, I am encountering an issue: the off button works perfectly, but when pressing the on button, the operation and timer function lights blink, and the AC does not turn on.

For your information, I also tried the same IR file on a new model Blue Star split AC, and it works perfectly when pressing the button twice. Do you have any IR files for the Blue Star Cassette AC Remote R11CG/E?


Re: Monitoring Systems (Like OVRC and Domotz)

 
Edited

Crestron has partnered with some software developer to provide an MDU property manager dashboard which can monitor all kinds of things with a pretty usable interface... I saw that a couple years ago at cedia, they are listed as one of the partner companies I forget the name offhand... But I was pushing my rep for a concrete answer as to why Crestron has not purchased the company and turned it into an integrator dashboard. It would be absolutely fantastic. I think everybody here should take a look and start screaming about it. I have no doubt that Crestron is absolutely all about Open integration and control of all electronic devices and it would only make sense that they would have their own monitoring platform for companies that build dozens or hundreds or thousands of systems that they need to manage. How would they not benefit from providing a monitoring platform... Which would effectively standardize the quality of the systems that they've got out there and how they're being managed effectively...?
?
If they added a couple of basic network tools to this, forget it, I would be all over it.

Re: HD-MD8X2 questions

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Sounds like an overscan issue; sounds like the switcher is presenting different EDID to the source than the TV directly is which you can usually fix either by copying the EDID from the sink (e.g. TV) in the DM setup tool (I think the HD-MD8X2 supports this) or changing the picture mode on the TV (1:1, fit, etc.)

I haven't really had time to play with this so I haven't got the programming right for it yet. But that's not the immediate problem.? I wanted to make sure it was actually working so I connected one source and one display so I could test all 8 inputs and 2 outputs.? I actually ended up with two of these switchers and both doing the same thing.? For the input, I'm using a PC set to 1080P 60.? Going to the monitor direct from the PC, it displays perfectly.? Passing the signal through the switcher is the problem.? How to discribe this hmmmm.? The image fills the screen but actually to big. If you were looking at a normal windows desktop and then put a strip of 3/4 inch tape on all four sides, that's what I see.

Right-Click on the Touchpanel in the device symbol section of SMW, then select 'Insert Device Extender' , then Activity Detection...

Activity extender huh?
I don¡¯t remember seeing that, but I¡¯ll check it out on Monday.
Thanks much.

add an activity extender on the panel.
Set it for 300s. This "activity" signal will remain high until the timer expires, but resets every time the panel is touched.
Attach the output of the activity signal to the reset of a one shot, and comment out the trigger. This will give you a pulse when the 5 minutes expires with no activity on the panel.
Use the pulse to do whatever logic you want.

I use that in every program. it leaves the settings page unlocked forever - as long as the user is interacting with it. Once they leave it alone for 5 minutes, the panel locks again.

It¡¯s for a job.
Basically, I have a ¡°Start Page¡± with a full page size button that takes you to the login.
It works fine, but once logged in and using the system, I want it to exit back to the login page after a set amount of inactivity. ?A ¡°time-out¡±, so to speak.

Re: Anyone noticing slowdowns/failures in loading to 4-series processors lately?

Yeah, I'm using AutoHotKey for basically the same thing! 1 second (1000) is plenty for that delay, but it's not necessary to unregister it first. That happens when you kill the program anyway.
I'm using CTL-ALT-K, and then typing the slot number. AHK is a huge timesaver once you get it loading automatically with admin privileges.
Type 1-9 for that slot number; type 0 for slot 10; type "d" and it'll kill debugging (for when Debugger doesn't close nicely and you've got weird characters flying across the console...

Re: Anyone noticing slowdowns/failures in loading to 4-series processors lately?

 

I tried to write a similar script for Toolbox, but couldn't get it to work correctly. I'm sure I was doing something wrong, but had already spent too much time on it and just reverted to the manual method :-)

This issue has been such a pain for such a long time I decided to create a
macro on MobaXterm and assign a hot key to it.

Before uploading to slot-1, for example, I trigger the following macro:

RETURN
progreg -p:1 -u
SLEEP=5000
killprog -p:1
RETURN
Then I assign it to Ctrl+F1

You will have to create one macro for each program slot.
Like others noticed, when problems arise, the processor is still responsive
from other terminal programs (such as MobaXterm) so I typically just send a
reboot command to get things back on track.
But consistently using the macro above before any upload will reduce the
frequency of this pesky quirk.

Re: Monitoring Systems (Like OVRC and Domotz)

 

Agreed, Domotz was a fantastic tool for the original cost.... I've been using ubiquiti network since Luxul development got basically abandoned by LeGrand, so we found it very easy to start cancelling Domotz licenses with systems that have Ubiquiti DMs in place.?

There is still a big lack of features like custom notifications but it's the best alternate I'm aware of.?

Re: Any way to upload multiple entries for RAVA address book at once?

 

yes, but the number to dial doesn't work without the full address book entry for that other touchpanel so I think I have to put the full "SIPADDEXT 105 192.168.1.215 KITCHEN" entry for each address book entry on each touchscreen? Found the script I was looking for:
