I have a Vista 128bpt in my home.? I used the Paul Cupp authored Crestron modules from an eternity ago.? I found that the feedback on the modules was sometimes delayed by up to seven seconds.? I found the issue deep in the bowels of one of the Simpl+ modules and fixed it.? Now feedback occurs in, at most, a second.? I run this integration on a CP2E.? I can post these modules here if anyone is interested.

Not sure what the serial cable does that @CaseyBenjamin posted earlier as these panels have onboard RS232 that you can connect just about any three conductor copper cable.

Some people have had this because Antivirus somehow has those files in use, you could try disabling your AV quickly to see if it compiles....

I've handled this by choosing to not "automatically reconnect to control system" in general app settings.? When the client wants to change houses, simply close the app. (swipe it off the screen) Then the app will open to the setup page, where the multiple residences are listed to be chosen from.? The reserved join to get to the setup page is probably the best way though.

A good solution for Apple TVs is the Ultamation companion protocol module.? This module is super fast, reliable for years and supports direct app launching.? It does require current firmware on 3 and possibly 4 series processor for reliability.? Support on the module, as with all Ultamation software, is top notch.? In my implementations, just in case Apple breaks the module, I have IR in place that is automatically enabled at run time if the module loses connectivity.??

I would start by sending an email to Ultimation to see if they have any insight to the error.? Are you opening the file from an archive? Project folder user DB?

The WIim Pro has an https api that is very limited but has some utility.? Using @TroyGarner's https utility, I was able to get some control of the device.? @JoeWhitaker, who now works at Origin, did confirm that a reworked api is in the works that is more suitable for the custom integrator.

Hello:

wondering if someone can help me with an issue i have with creating a .pkg file.? going through the online training and when i tried to use the Manifesutil.exe - it failed - i was able to capture the error and seems to be something to do with HRESULT: 0x90131515

It’s interesting, I was experiencing all sorts of issues with an AV4. Very similar to what is described in this thread.?

This processor has an internal router/control subnet but we are not using it for anything. That being said, I ignored the red text in the firmware release notes that says

• Before upgrading a router-based control system to 2.8003.00020, make sure to upgrade it to?2.8001.00098?first. Upgrading to 2.8003.00020 directly could result in the router firmware upgrade failing.

This was the case for me. The err log was always full of lines that say “router GetFirmwareVersion ERROR” or something similar.?

I decided to do the downgrade / upgrade to latest version (v2.8003.00055). Ever since, I have not had a single issue loading programs & we haven’t had to reboot the processor in a long time.?

Hope someone finds this helpful

Doug,

Thanks for the reply.

I think the server name and hostname are the same.

Can you point me to a manual or link that covers changing the hostname on a "VC-4"? I have no problems finding how to change it on the PC versions but I'm not having luck finding it for the VC4.

Are you referring to the hostname?? If so, yes.? Just remember to generate a new Self-Signed Certificate after an IP address or hostname change as outlined in the VC4 manual.?

So agree with u...?

"As the saying goes.. just because you can, doesn't mean you should!"?

It has no sense giving the option to a client to change a DM-NVX-363 from receiver to transmitter. Just decide the way u want to work in the project and that`s it. If you give that option there are more possibilities that the client don`t use it right and complain about the functionality.. programming is not fine.. and so on..

Hi guys,

Working on a D3PRO project changing from a PAC2 to a CP4.? I was was looking at the SIMPL code that D3PRO generates and discovered there are some interesting console commands you can issue to D3PRO.? For example

userprogcmd "HELP"

DEBUG - State of Debug Mode

DEBUG ON - Debug On

DEBUG OFF - Debug Off

LOGGER <Args> - 'LOGGER ?' for commands

MEDIA - Report storage media

PRESET_CANCEL <Name> - Cancel a Preset

PRESET_NAMES - List Presets

PRESET_REVERT <Name> - Restore a Preset to its initial value

PRESET_RUN <Name> - Run a Preset

PRESET_SAVE <Name> - Save a Preset

PROJECTNAME - Display the project name

SCHEDULER_EVENTS - List Scheduled Event Names and Time

SCHEDULER_LOG STATE - Status of Logging Scheduled Events

SCHEDULER_LOG ON - Log Scheduled Events

SCHEDULER_LOG OFF - Turn off Logging for Scheduled Events

SCHEDULER_RUN_EVENT <Name> - Run an Event

TIMEINFO - Report current time/date info

VACATION - Report Vacation Mode

VACATION PLAY - Change mode to Play

VACATION RECORD - Change mode to Record

VACATION STOP - Change mode to Stop

VARIABLE_GET <Name> - Get a variable's value

VARIABLE_NAMES - List Variables

VARIABLE_SET <Name> <Value> - Set a variable to <Value>

And it works.? You can turn the event log on and off, list the events, and manually trigger events.? Great for confirming that your event scheduler is working.

I am using D3PRO v3.06.004.00with the latest CP4 firmware v2.8003.00055and the latest other Crestron software so I know it works with that.? And unlike previous versions of D3PRO, D3PRO now loads and put the scheduler.dat file in the right spot.

YMMV

Is it possible to change the server name of a VC4? Thanks!

We've had numerous AV Consultants specify NVX devices to be switchable from encode to decode and fortunately on every occasion bar one, we have convinced them it's a bad idea.??

As the saying goes.. just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

Thank you Dustin for pointing out that Reserved Join for Enter Setup. Works great and I just used it today!

I eagerly tried?v2.8003.00055 (Mar 18 2024), still did not fix the issue
:((

Any chance you could post some example strings from Crestron?

I'm having fun trying to make sense of the protocol manual....

Just need to switch between presets 1,2,3

SOunds like a need to send a Heartbeat packet also??

Any help much appreciated!

Has anyone successfully controlled one of these with Crestron?

Awesome, I'll give them a try, thanks a lot!
