I recently pulled a CEN-COM off my "shelf-o-random-Crestron stuff" to use for with the serial interface for my alarm panel (with the eventual idea being to put it on its own processor)

Anyway I've noticed that it will occasionally fall offline (yet I can still ping it from the processor, and I can ping the processor from it), and other times it will generate an update request with every string that it receives from the panel.

Aside from dropping it out a 3rd floor window, any ideas to make the thing more stable? I realize the CEN-COM like most of the other "first generation" CEN-stuff has been pushed far, far, far to the side [which is too bad, because the CEN-CN actually seems like quite a useful product].

I've used both the Advent and the Concord.
I really haven't tried too much with keypad emulation, just real-time feedback.

There was a problem with the GE modules for the Advent a while back, where you'd get double keypad presses, but I think that was cleared up by a member of the Yahoo group (again, cleared up a while back).

I'm not fond of the Ademcos. Even the HAI is better.

Overall, I still like the GE Advent the best - it gives the best
emulation of the physical system keypad.

The GE NetWorx is genenerally good too, just a little more awkward for
jobs with multiple partitions.

panel/processor starts to chatter with motions going on/off it
starts to hang. For example if I walk around the house with my
laptop (running xpanel) and trigger motions and door contacts,
within 2 or 3 times the feedback on the kepad eventually just stays
on one state (Fault 004 Back Door) It then takes a couple of other
motions to go on/off and eventually the module updates and all is
well for the next 3 or 4 times. I'm running the newest v3.0
crestron module with a pro2. It does say in the module.pdf that
there is a refresh command you can send to update the 2 lines of
text on the panel, however I cannot find that in the argument
definition. All I see is Initialize or Poll. I've already set the
panel to factory defaults 3 times. The panel does arm and disarm
instantly with no motions or contacts hooked up to it. Once motions
and contacts are hooked up that is when things become unreliable.
I'm just desparate to find an ultra reliabe alarm panel to work
with. All I'm looking for is instant keypad emulation
control/feedback. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

That should be a cool project. Let us know how it turns out.

I wish I had a couple of fists full of hair to pull out...

i have learned the remote of life size express ,but none of the button
seems to be working at all, can somebody help me in this regards or
somebody out there has a ir file of lifesize and want to share.
thanks in advance

One way to do it may be to send a "PROGCOMMENTS" command to the
console, parse the return for the info you want and send that out to
Roomview ...

Hey Dean (this is a bit wierd ;)

I'm working on a project with an XR500 also ... I downloaded and
disected the Crestron XR200 module but I also get in touch with DMP
before I got near the site to see what they had to say.

They commented that the Crestron (XR200) module didn't work (I didn't
get any more detail about that) but they were happy to send (courier)
me a copy of thier protocol - after I signed an non-disclosure
agreement (so I can't help you at all with the protocol - sorry).

I've now been on-site with the security guy a few times trying to
figure stuff out and it's been interesting ... unfortunately, I find
all too often that other equipment installers/programmers consider RS-
232 as it's own protocol (I assume that's because they've only ever
been exposed to their own product so the term RS-232 to them is
simply "the" way to communicate with the outside world) so they just
expect that, once you're "connected" (which is another story
altogether), you're just "talking". In my case, I had to do the
research for them 'cause otherwise it wasn't going to happen - they
wanted to use the 232 port on the mainboard and told me that they
couldn't accommodate me - I researched it and found a "462N" card
that allows 232 communications also (tried Ethernet but couldn't
establish comm's - perhaps with more time ...).

So, now I'm finally "connected" and can put the protocol into
action ... I haven't read the whole thing yet (it's a bit of a novel -
like this post ;) ... whenever I "have a connection" to the panel
(which involves the security guy establishing a path to the port), it
spits out something over and over until it times out and then sends
an alarm (communication trouble) to the security panels and the
monitoring station ... I'm sure I just have to read more and figure
out the correct "ack" to send back but I haven't gotten that far - so
everytime I want to test something, I need him on-site and he has to
clear/re-establish every time I test.

There's a lot of information on DMP's website re: the product and
actually programming it but not the 232 protocol.

That's all I can tell you for now, Dean, sorry about the length but
perhaps at least one part might help you out :)

The line would look something like:

digital_input _skip_, input1, input2;

Add as many instances of "_skip_" as you have parameters.

The same method can be applied to the output, or you can use the
declaration "#output_shift X", where X is the number of spaces you
want the first output shifted down.

Why there is no "#input_shift" declaration is anybody's guess?

So how do you type it?

should it be "digital_input test1"_SKIP_
then parameters (that's how i'm doing it)

or should it be the parameters first then skip then the digital

inputs?

or should the skip then digital parameters...?

Could you show an example

Yes se the "_SKIP_" this will drop the digital inputs below the
parameters. This is the only way to do this. It's back ass wards

but

it works.

Looks like all that does is take positioning commands and puts
attached servos to the appropriate positions. It uses 3 byte
commands, &#92;xFF&#92;xYY&#92;xZZ where YY is the servo number and ZZ is the
position.

Don't think you'd need more than an SIO to drive this puppy...

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure we had to sign an NDA with Sirius to get the protocol.

I remember submitting this as a bug report, I think it was supposed to
