Does anyone know Nick Pope?
Hi,
I¡¯m hoping someone is in touch with a Crestron programmer named Nick Pope.? I would just like to ask him a few questions for an article I¡¯m?working on. If you know Nick, I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me his contact info.
Thanks in?advance for the help

Re: Crestron Home RAVA issues
License the certified 2n door lock module, then setup programming automation on the verso.?
?
Program in Home, add a quick action to control? switch 2 to change to the external camera and turn on DND mode, then 2 minutes later reverse back to defaults...?
?
I don't love all the moving parts of this but we have many Home+2n systems and it can be done.?
?
DM if u need.?

Re: Crestron Go app questions
OK, here's a workaround and I'm down to <2 secs load/refresh time.
?
- downgrade to 1.601.0050
- connect to the server via USB
- in console - SSL OFF
- AUTH OFF
- verify ethernet/port settings and connect via SSH over ethernet
- upgrade to 1.8001.0251
- change Crestron Go setting - No SSL, delete credentials, and change port to your HTTP port
- you will now have 'unsecured' access to your server
IMPORTANT: do not RESTORE from this point on, or it will turn on SSL/AUTH, and you will need to redo the above.
?
For the security conscious, I eliminated all external ports (except two) to the system and rely on VPN for external access for maintenance.?
?
The ports I maintain are the HTTP and CIP ports, but I pick a random number and forward it to my HTTP port (8081 in my case). There's a security risk here, but small and for me the tradeoff in load time makes it worth it.?
?

Hi Jay, thanks for this!. I¡¯ll load it up and comment any value information. ? Have a great week you all nico ? ? ?

Subject: Re: [crestron] Netatmo integration? Nico, Thorsten, Based on Nico's writeup of the problem I have created a new version of the Sensibo Air Module for testing (v1.6).? The issue is this.? When you send a command to the Sensibo API based on a user selection the API doesn't respond back with information that tells you it has been accepted and implemented.? So, to keep the outputs of the module in synch with user selections I had sent a refresh command right afterwards.? This doubles the number of calls and if, for example, multiple commands are sent in quick progression based on a? user favorite setting, then this can cause a lot of commands to be sent in quick sucession which could easily run afoul of the API police trying to manage API traffic. I've added a new parameter named Manual_Refresh_Required.? When this is set to true a refresh command will not be sent after each other command.? Instead the code will have to manage when to refresh the outputs of the module manually. I also included some additional notes on how to implement the user's ability to change the target temperature.? If, for example, this is implemented by the user triggering the up/down inputs on an analog increment, then the output of the ainc should be run into an abuf with the enable on the abuf tied to a "Set" button on a tp.? The user will then be able to use the abuf to change the temperature and only after pressing the set button will this new value be sent to the module.? This, again, minimizes the number of API calls.? As I said, this is a test version.? It is currently just sitting on my OneDrive.?

Re: Rollease Automate Pulse 2 Hub Driver for Crestron Home
The managed platform page crashing was solved by adding another platform driver (Shelly in my case). After that it started populating correctly and it never crashed again.
?
As for the functionality of the devices and Pulse 2 hub, all of my issues were solved by a Beta driver provided by Control Concepts.
?
Let me know if you need it.
|
Was just thinking too- did you have emitter covers on them? Ive seen many times without them that the IR will bounce around and get picked up again by the device adding a second IR pulse that was not sent by the control system.?

Re: MAC M1 Parallels Mapped Folder Issue
Just to add - a bit of searching here does show that this is not a new issue and that running a subst command can help.

I've tried this and it does work for me - just seems a bit strange that SW etc cannot see the existing mapped network drives.

Cheers!

MAC M1 Parallels Mapped Folder Issue
Hi,
?
I've been running SimplWindows/TB etc on a Mac M1 with Parallels running Win 11 for sometime but with infrequent use.
?
I recently wanted to maintain an existing project but had updated to the latest versions of all the various tools and Parallels. ?I now have a problem where none of the Crestron tools like SW/TB/VTP etc will recognise the Mac drives that are exposed via Parallels as mapped network drives.
?
They do see the drive as a full path such as ?\\Mac\Dropbox\Crestron\Project\someproject.smw but when trying to compile a program using this just fails. ?This drive will be mapped to say the Q: drive by Parallels and can be seen as such in, say, Windows Explorer but not in SW.
?
I am not sure if this is an issue with Parallels or the Crestron software but it's annoying that the mapped drives don't show up.
?
BTW - I do know that compiling on a Dropbox folder is not really supported and I do always stop my syncing to avoid issues on that side of things so please don't conflate the two situations.
?
Anyone else had this issue? ?It kind of defeats the point having to take a Windows laptop as well as my Mac to site...
?
TIA

Did you ever solve this, I've got the exact same issue but with a different driver!

Re: Android Go App - Broken?
I use Crestron Go on my Android and it's working fine. I also have a couple of clients that use their Android app heavily, and would've reported immediately if something wasn't working right.

Re: Crestron Go app questions
Sure would be nice if Crestron invested in Crestron Go. There are several ways they could minimize the 5 sec startup. And 5 secs truly is unacceptable to clients, when expectations are sub-second.
?
If you notice, when you re-open the app, if it hasn't been tossed from memory yet, the screen comes right up, but is locked, then updates and repaints the entire screen. Making this worse is the fact that tapping the screen when locked goes back to the main Crestron Go screen, which confuses clients.??
?
Please Crestron make the following changes.
- Do the system refresh in the background. Only refresh a subset of data and continue to fetch data in the background.
- Do not show 'Connecting to System' and 'Updating Interface...' or allow us to turn that off.
- Do not repaint the screen after refresh (and do not show Connecting to System). This makes it feel faster with the appearance of done loading.
- Hide the 'back to list' button so that end-users don't accidently hit it.?

Re: Crestron Home RAVA issues
Sorry for the late reply as I've been abroad. I got in touch with crestron support and it looks like changing the RAVA ringtone is impossible.?
?
Also it's not possible to ring once or n times and keep the incoming call screen ( the video with action buttons ) on the screen until the call is answered.?
?
My Apartment has the 2N IP verso as a doorbell so yeah imagine if you have guests coming and ringing. By the time I open the door I'm pretty sure they will apologize for the disturbance because the TSW won't stop ringing until I answer. Very very annoying.?
?
Support suggested to request this feature but I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned before. I really like the CH interface but I am considering moving to AP4...

update. ?I¡¯m able to communicate with the remotes now after buying the new TrippLite USB to DB9. ?I¡¯m currently using 9 ML-600. ?When I go to load any of them they all say low battery and will not let me transfer the program, I have new Duracell and just bought the Enegizer Ultimates to try as well. ?
We are close, ?thanks guys. Any more thoughts.?

If you're not using the original cable supplied by Crestron (they have a gold 1/8 stereo mini plug so they stand out) your tip and ring connectors are probably reversed. Try using a null modem adapter at the 232 connection to flip the the RX and TX. You could also clip the cable and flip the two wires going to the tip and ring in a pinch.

Re: CH5 Web XPANEL Issues
Go to https://processorip:49200 and trust the self signed certificate, after that you get a 404 which is expected. Now open your XPanel normally again.

The signals you need are on the top level of the device definitions for NVX when you add them in SIMPL.
You'll also need to enable Automatic Initiation on the devices.
Here's a screenshot showing an encoder on top, and a decoder on bottom.
Tell the decoder what stream to look at (using the StreamLocation_F from all your encoders).
You can also use the _F on the decoders if you want to compare for real routing feedback.
