Are you talking about an RS232/HDMI model using a cbxh11 interface? Then yes.

Of so, we remove pin13 from the HDMI input board of the cbx box and that seems to make it much better.


Re: Sonos and Swamp

 

What we have always done is 1:1 sonos connects going through the SWAMP. When the zone is "Off" we instead switch to the SONOS and fix the volume on the SWAMP, This allows the client to have the full sonos experience separate from the "Crestron" experience . .even thought hey are still using the SWAMP as an amp . .albeit unbeknownst to them. . Now this is pre-60 series but I dont see how anything would change. GUI volume is disabled and only Sonos volume matters at that point.

In the power setting make certain the following are set:

Setup - Quick Start On

System Options - Power Control Off



It is also always best to update firmware.

Re: Crestron DM System - Detecting a DM transmitter by IPID

 

It was quite a tricky process as we had over 20 systems each with a 16x16DM frame and AV3 and 6 or 7 DM transmitter inputs in each frame. ?

We used an RMC3 to handle all the mac address programming.

Basically, when a transmitter got plugged in to a system, the Ethernet Offline Manager for that particular port would trigger a bit of code and send?"rcon slot x.1 est\r". ?From there it was just a case of parsing out the mac address. ?This mac address was then passed through to the RMC3 processor running our mac address lookup code which would compare that mac to all the ones it had on file and if a match was found, it would return the name that had been previously assigned to it and return that information to the appropriate system. (EIC)?

If it didnt find a match, it would prompt the user to enter a name for the device which was then saved to the mac address list text file stored on the RMC3 processor. ??

Depending on the complexity of the system you are programming, you may not even need to read and write from a file. ?We had to as we were trying to manage over 100 TX units with the client wanting the abillity to add more as required. ?If you have a pre-determined quantity of TX units, no reason you couldnt hardcode the mac addresses in a simpl+ module and simply perform a lookup/comparison everytime a device comes online.
?


Re: SIMPl+ & SIMPl# Callbacks

 

Thanks Andrew! Yeah if that's how it works then most likely the problem is that one of the callbacks *is* static, but the others aren't. I'm guessing that in order to change it the SIMPl# library would have to be edited in Visual Studio and recompiled?

I've seen some of your other posts on SIMPl# when I was researching the issues on this one and you seem to be pretty knowledgeable. If I need any further help or handholding on this issue I'd be more than happy to pay you for your time if you're interested in doing a remote Teamviewer session or something like that. Not sure if there's a way to send a direct message on here, but it's bfourney at gmail dot com if you don't want to post your info.

Basic Steps to Install the SmartThings Crestron API and Get it Working

?

1) Add a port forward to your router for the SmartThings Interface and point it to your processor

?

2) Go to the SmartThings Web Site (www.smartthings.com)

?

3) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Developers"

?

4) Login using your SmartThings username and password

?

5) Validate that your location and hub are shown

?

6) Click on My SmartApps and add a new smartapp using the provided groovy code

?

7) Make sure you insert your routers public IP address (typically your mycrestron.com url) and the port you forwarded in step 1 into the goovy code

?

8) Save the code and then publish it "For Me"

?

9) Press the App Settings button at the top of the screen

?

10) Toward the bottom of the page click on OAuth

?

11) Enable OAuth and copy down your Client ID and Secret ID

?

12)? Following the code in the example program add the SmartThings Receiver module to your program with the clientID and Secret ID from step 11 as parameters and the port from step 1 as a 3rd parameter.? Load the program to your processor

?

13) Pulse the Startup Signal and then Pulse the Authenticate Signal.?

?

14) Copy the url from the event log to your browser and use the displayed page to authorize your Crestron processor to access your devices

?

15) Using the SmartThings App on your phone, Goto the marketplace and then select SmartApps.?

?

16) Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select My Apps.

?

17) You should see the CrestronAPI Smart App Listed.? Click on it and use the displayed screen to enable your devices to send updates when your devices change state through the SmartApp

?

18) Pulse the Print_Device_List signal on the Crestron SmartThings Receiver Module.?

?

19) Use the device ID's that are added to the error log to add SmartThings modules to your program to control your devices.? The device ID's need to be added as parameters to these modules.

?

20) You should now be able to control your SmartThings devices through your Crestron program and the outputs of the modules should reflect the state of the devices.??

I'm back at this.

With respect to 60 series panels only...

Method 2/3; Why would one even bother giving the client the Media Player?? You can just give them access to the Sonos APP and they can get access to all the line in sources there.

So I sort of see this as 3 methods of deployment.

?

Method 1:

"In that scenario, set each connect to fixed output and treat it as any other media player source. ?Control volume on the swamp as you normally would."?

That is not the 1:1 scenario Crestron is pushing. This would be if I had a few Connects as sources, that any zone could get access to, engineered the way we've been doing systems for years.? But this method prevents the end user from using the 'grouping' feature and volume control within the Sonos App.

?

Method 2:

We don't sell Sonos speakers for our 'proper/high end' systems, except perhaps a Playbar for a TV that has crappy built in speakers.? After speaking with Crestron, it seems the next method is to use the Connects as preamps and use no audio matrix.? This would allow all the grouping and volume control to happen via the Sonos App.? But this means you can't have non-Sonos sources in the mix.

?

Method 3:

If you want Sonos and other sources, perhaps Airplay, you could use an audio matrix with a Connect for each room (set to variable), so that the user could use the grouping feature and volume control when using the App, but then still have access to other distributed sources.? Except the grouping experience would not be the same for the other sources and you would need to set the audio matrix zone outputs to unity gain when listening to Sonos and variable when using the other sources. This seems clunky and not user friendly; controlling sources and volume differently depending on sources.

?

Is there a better/different way to use both Sonos and third party sources in the same system while allowing the user to use the Sonos App?

?

?

?

In that scenario, set each connect to fixed output and treat it as any other media player source. ?Control volume on the swamp as you normally would.?

The alternative scenario is to use the SONOS grouping modules. ?That would be typically used when sonos speakers are involved, not connects, although if you had multiple connects wired directly to amplifiers and then to room speakers, not going through a switcher, that could work with the group module as well. To this point I've only used the former, but it works awesome and has been 100% reliable.?
