SIMPL+ Direct Socket question
#splus
Hi Guys.
I'm having an issue with a direct socket module. I needed a drop in replacement for the TCP client symbol, since I have a site with 80+ rooms running the same program where the only difference is the IP addresses of the connecting equipment.
So I wrote a S+ equivalent to the SIMPL symbol that takes the IP address as an argument.
Mostly it works well. but with certain equipment, I get a situation where the Rx string gets changed by the module itself. Every character is interspersed with a null character. Totally bizarre.
The receive event code looks like this:
SOCKETRECEIVE MySocket {
? ? if (Len(MySocket.SocketRxBuf) < BUFSZ) {
? ? ? ? if (Debug) trace("DirectSocketConnection [Rx]: %s", MySocket.SocketRxBuf);
? ? }
? ? From_Socket$ = MySocket.SocketRxBuf;
? ? StartwaitTimer ();
? ? ClearBuffer(MySocket.SocketRxBuf);
}
groups.io won't let me post a screen cap of teh debugger output, so I'm transcribing this. Apologies in advance for any and all typos added by my Dyslexia.
receive a response from device, a CLI propmt.
DirectSocketConnection [Rx]:admin>
but after assignment to the STRING_OUTPUT variable From_Socket$ I get
\x00a\x00d\x00m\x00i\x00n\x00>\x0D\x0A
Anybody got any ideas of whey this thing is taking it upon itself to add characters during a simple variable assignment? The entire module is available on request. I plan to post it here if I can get it to work right.

Re: DMX Controller Control for Small Project
I haven't used this device yet, but I think it would accomplish what you need. The Chauvet Xpress-Rack 1024 has IO on the back where you can trigger scenes. So I think you could program your scenes in the Chauvet software and then just trigger them from Crestron.?

Samsung QN43QN90CAF Control On RS 232 ( Controller CP4N)
Hi,
I am controlling as Samsung display whose model number is QN43QN90CAF.? I am not getting setting option for RS 232 in the display because of which I am not able of control this display.
If anyone done control of this particular make and model, please guide me, how can I control this on RS 232.
Thanks,
Arvind

Re: DMX Controller Control for Small Project
I also would prefer to just trigger scenes/fades/changes from the Crestron to an external DMX controller/player. You can do it in the Crestron controller, but you can get hickups if there?s too much going on at the same time. I?ve used the Engineering Solutions DMX Engine before:
? There?s also an option from Ultamation which can do internal fades and patterns.
You might want to look if this fits your requirements. ? HTH ? Cheers, Thorsten ? ? I'll be controlling AV with Crestron as well.
So, for example, when the push a button "Party", the music turns on, projector screen comes down with graphic visuals, and lights go to a particular preset with multi colors, chasing, etc.

Re: Sony Proj VPL-FHZ85 IP control issues
This chassis works with "room view connected display" with this model and the ipid is specified in decimal, 0a = 10, you also need to tell the projector via the remote where to get network from either LAN or via HDBASE-T should you be using a dmps for example.
You might also need a firmware update as we found an issue with filter cleaning getting the chassis stuck in an unrecoverable loop if you polled the off power sub 10seconds it would cancel the internal timer and have a fit but because it took longer for "is cooling" feedback caught us out. Otherwise projector is stable and performs well

Re: DMX Controller Control for Small Project
Okie, then its a totally different game.
I have been using Enttec ODE MK2 a few times to control front lights and so. Very basic and easy stuff.
To create chases and such stuff, you need to create our own in Crestron, sending DMX values, it takes little bit more time programming vise, but its doable. If you know S+ or S#, you could create your own module to do that for you, if not – use CueServer or
similar. I know it cost a lot, but it’s very easy if you want to record DMX streams for example, and create something with a light controller.
A lot of lamps have build in effects that might be good enough, then will it be easy to use Enttec ODE MK3, just send that value that trigger that effect you want.
BUT, I had issue with the built in sACN modul in simpl windows, it didn’t work with my Serie4 processor – but I found a module that did.

Re: DMX Controller Control for Small Project
Personally i think this one bellow? is one of the easiest DMX interfaces i have used with Crestron. If you build a small module to write the analog values to a file you can also build and save custom presets. DMX works like each light or part of a light will show up as a channel (analog Join in Crestron) each channel can control a portion of a light for example one channel may be a dimmer one may be the color one may be to move the light if it has motors, and so forth and so on. This also lets you pass through to a normal lighting board or to read and save presets from a lighting board even.?

Crestron HZ-THSTAT w5-2 Scheduler v1.7 Module
I know, I know...:(
Anyone who might have used this module and used the AWAY mode, have you experienced certain stats randomly coming out of Away mode into a normal running setpoint??
Our first system with the HZ units is with a client who travels a fair bit and really like the ability to set all his stats to AWAY and then back to RUN when coming home.
But we have regularly seen *some* of the stats come out of AWAY mode after 1-3 days...I haven't noticed any regularity and although it does seem to be the same 3-4 stats, its never consistent as to which and when this will happen...
Anyone else seen this behavior??

Hi,
Is it only for controlling lights? Go for a app running on a iPad. I know that ADJ used to have a wireless DMX unit which you controlled via an ipad or computer I think. Didn’t cost that much, perfect for the barn owner, easy to use.
Don't make it more advanced than necessary

I'm new to DMX, and have a project upcoming that will incorporate some DMX LED tape, etc.
The project is a barn, and client wishes to have options for colored lighting for parties, hanging out, game night, etc.
My objectives:
Use a dedicated DMX controller where I can create scenes/chases, etc (on its dedicated PC software, and/or iPad app)., and have those presets be recallable from a Crestron touchscreen/CP4.
Nothing fancy, just some presets like "Christmas" (flashes Red and Green), "Blue" (turns all lights Blue), "Rainbow" (chases through all colors), etc.
It seems like the Pharaos LPC and Enttec S-Play are way overkill for what I need, and wondering if there is anything cheaper that will allow preset recall via Crestron commands over ethernet.
I also see CueServer, and did some basic work with Colorbeam.
Frankly, I'm not sure exactly what I would need (besides the LED tape, other DMX lights) to make this happen.
I do know that I would like to have a DMX controller for all control, and not use the CP4 to natively create scenes/presets, etc. via SIMPL.
Any help/input would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Two thing to keep in mind.? The Sensibo uses a cloud service for
the API.? So, the Crestron module is sending commands to the cloud
service, which then sends commands to the Sensibo Air, which then
mimics whatever way the AC unit's remote control communicates with
it.? So, first, networking issues can definitely play a part in
retries between the crestron system and the Sensibo cloud causing
a 429 error.? Second, the customer can always fallback to the
original remote for their AC system when an issue occurs.
Hope this helps

I?m not polling on the Sensibo.
I?ve just put the different commands like
“auto”, “cool”, “dry”, etc. and temperature up/down on the
wallpanel/remote. Actually, that shouldn?t cause a server
overflow.
But I can ask the client to try wait a few
seconds between button presses for testing.
I?ve put the programming into production and
it seemed to be working well. But since that was in autumn
and the AC wasn?t really in use at that time, I can?t tell

Hi
Thorsten,
Hmmm.?
I have not heard of that issue before.? I had to look up
the http response code 429 and it says "too many
requests".? Do you possibly have an oscillator driving the
refresh input on the module to poll for updates?? This
could cause the sensibo server to complain about too many
requests and possibly throttle responses.? Otherwise, I'm
wondering if there is a networking issue causing http
request issues and the processor is retrying the requests.
Just
2 ideas

Hi
Thorsten,
I
pulled out my Sensibo Air and set it up for a quick
test.? I didn't have any problems sending commands but I
was doing it in SimplDebugger and watching the time it
takes for all the message round trips with the Sensibo
cloud.? I can believe that if this was rushed and
commands sent too fast that it wouldn't work.? Commands
don't respond with feedback.? So, every time I send a
command I have to send a second message to poll for
feedback and use that to update the outputs of the
module.? All this takes time.
One
thing I did notice is that Sensbo seems to have changed
the types of Swing they support.? Or, it may be that the
manufacturer of the AC unit that I have told the Sensibo
I am using (it has been several years and I'm not sure
which one I faked Sensibo into thinking I have) has
updated the model with different features.? In any case
this may be an area where you have to customize the code
to support something different.? The code isn't
complicated.? It just sends a JSON payload for each
command and parses the JSON that comes back after
polling for status to create the feedback.? I'm going to
post a zip file of the full S# source for you.
Here
is the download link:
I
have several other projects I'm working on already so I
can answer questions about the code and give you a hand
but I can't just drop everything else I'm already
committed to.

Hi
Thorsten,
It
has been over a year since I touched that
code but I'm not aware of anything that
could be causing the problem you describe.?
Couple of things.
1)
Are you using v1.5 of the Sensibo Air
Module?
2)
Please change the Debug_Msg_Output parameter
to "Console".? This causes the code to write
all kinds of debugging information to the
text console.
3)
upload the program to your processor and
wait for the program to enter a steady state
after all the program initialization steps
have completed.
4)
Open up a toolbox text console window and
perform the actions to duplicate the
problem.
5)
Copy all the messages sent to the text
console window into an email and send that
to me.
6)
Finally, please send me any relevant
information from the error log.
I've
found that SimplDebugger loses lots of
messages that are generated by an S# program
but these are properly picked up by the text
console.? Otherwise it would be simpler to
simply save a log in SimplDebugger.
I'll
take a look and see if I can figure out what
is going on.
Thanks

Hi Jay,
?
last autumn, i have
successfully integrated a Swegon A/C into a client?s
Crestron control system with your help.
?
However, I have just
received a message from the client, that the control of
the A/C is sluggish and sometimes (most of the time) it
doesn?t respond at all.
I had a look a the
debugger and found that quite often, I receive an error
message from the Sensibo
- 00:02:40.687: [Console Data] : Sensibo_Air
- Set_Mode - http response code: 429
?
Do you have any idea where to look to resolve
this?
?
Thanks,
Thorsten

Hi
Thorsten,
I
pulled out my Sensibo Air and set it up for a quick test.?
I didn't have any problems sending commands but I was
doing it in SimplDebugger and watching the time it takes
for all the message round trips with the Sensibo cloud.? I
can believe that if this was rushed and commands sent too
fast that it wouldn't work.? Commands don't respond with
feedback.? So, every time I send a command I have to send
a second message to poll for feedback and use that to
update the outputs of the module.? All this takes time.
One
thing I did notice is that Sensbo seems to have changed
the types of Swing they support.? Or, it may be that the
manufacturer of the AC unit that I have told the Sensibo I
am using (it has been several years and I'm not sure which
one I faked Sensibo into thinking I have) has updated the
model with different features.? In any case this may be an
area where you have to customize the code to support
something different.? The code isn't complicated.? It just
sends a JSON payload for each command and parses the JSON
that comes back after polling for status to create the
feedback.? I'm going to post a zip file of the full S#
source for you.
Here
is the download link:
I
have several other projects I'm working on already so I
can answer questions about the code and give you a hand
but I can't just drop everything else I'm already
committed to.
Thanks

Sorry,
my mistake.? For Sensibo it is the Startup_Debug_Msg
parameter directly on the Sensibo module.? Many of my
other drivers have a separate comm manager module but
not this one.
Thanks

Thanks.? In the demo program
the debug parameter on the communications module is
set to console.? This will cause a lot of debugging
information to show up in the text console window.? My
experience is that SimplDebugger drops text messages
so you'll want to have both SimplDebugger open to
manipulate/watch signals as well as a text console
window.

Hi
Thorsten,
Here
is an updated link
Please
let me know when you've downloaded the file.? This
is my personal onedrive, with limited space, and I
need to manage that memory.? I can't just leave
files on there for extended periods of time.
Thanks

Hi
Thorsten,
For
some reason I never uploaded this version to my
GitHub.? It has been so long ago that I can't
remember why but we should start debugging with
the latest I worked on.
Here
is a link where you can download this new
version.?
This
is the compiled.zip of the demo program so you
can extract the v1.5 s+ module along with the
Sensibo_Air.clz file.? Make sure you replace
your existing Sensibo_Air.clz with the new one
from the compiled.zip
Now
please send me the messages captured in text
console as I described below along with any
relevant messages that show up in the error log
when the program crashes.
Thanks

Hi
Thorsten,
It
has been over a year since I touched that code
but I'm not aware of anything that could be
causing the problem you describe.? Couple of
things.
1)
Are you using v1.5 of the Sensibo Air Module?
2)
Please change the Debug_Msg_Output parameter
to "Console".? This causes the code to write
all kinds of debugging information to the text
console.
3)
upload the program to your processor and wait
for the program to enter a steady state after
all the program initialization steps have
completed.
4)
Open up a toolbox text console window and
perform the actions to duplicate the problem.
5)
Copy all the messages sent to the text console
window into an email and send that to me.
6)
Finally, please send me any relevant
information from the error log.
I've
found that SimplDebugger loses lots of
messages that are generated by an S# program
but these are properly picked up by the text
console.? Otherwise it would be simpler to
simply save a log in SimplDebugger.
I'll
take a look and see if I can figure out what
is going on.
Thanks

the

I?m
able to control the AC, setting it into

after sending just a few (three) commands,

Hi
Thorsten,
Sensibo
and Ambi Climate have products that will
control an AC unit.? A few years ago I wrote
drivers for them.? I haven't touched them
since but I believe they are both still
workable drivers.? Also, I just saw an
announcement that Sensibo has added some
interesting new features to their product.?
Hope
this helps

The

But
for that, I need to able to communicate
with Netatmo in the first place.
Doesn?t

I
looked at writing a Netatmo integration
driver a few years ago.? They use full
OAUTH2 authentication protocol which makes
integration with a Crestron processor
problematic.? If you are looking for a
weather station to integrate with I would
highly recommend the WeatherFlow Tempest.?
Very well designed weather station and I
have just made some significant updates to
the free driver on my GitHub.?
Hope
this helps

I don't have the specific console command for this, but it's likely an 'RCON' command. you may be able to look this up...
The DMtool would definitely allow you to adjust this parameter. Each input card has a button to launch into details specifically for that card, including HDCP settings...

Does anyone know the command to set an input card to HDCP 1.x from the command line?? I have a 32x32 and the PC onsite will not load the DM tool.? Or... can I use the DM tool to connect to the input card directly?? (assuming the pc will connect to it)
