Re: IOS Today in Crestron App

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I'm hoping they get the presses working as well. I've got it setup for some quick common functionality that would be handy to get to without opening the app. Open/Close garage door, turn off all lights or A/V in a room, etc.?

If you're just looking for notifications from the system you can use the API and prowl services together to send IOS notifications. I was having some issues with my HVAC a while back and set it up to give me any extreme temp alarms and regular hourly temp updates from 9-5. I've long since fixed the issue but it's been nice for peace of mind to have those alerts coming.

There are a number of ways to do this. First, with the BD plugged into power, use the factory remote and see which functions will turn it on. We find the "play" command usually always works.?


Turn on:

Stepper:
Send Play
Delay 1-3 seconds
Send Stop

Turn off:

Stepper:
Send Play
Delay 3-6 seconds
Send Power toggle

Either way, if someone had manually pressed the power button on the BD, it will always turn on and turn off.?


Smart Graphics - Button List

 

It's my understanding that I should be able to have a list with a scroll bar enabling a drop-down list type application but I can't seem to make that work. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Re: SIMPL# Pro and Sonos

Hi tzyata,
where can I get that sonos module you are refering to? Does it support Pandora or Spotify natively on ProG?

Regards, David

we have simpl+ module that works well for the last 2 years



Sony VPLFHZ60 RS232?

 

Has anyone worked with this or the 65 model?? They seem to have a newer protocol than the Sonys I've worked with previously, and while I could probably whip up a module to handle power & input selection easily enough - I also certainly wouldn't mind saving the time if someone else has one written they can share...

Thanks,

Re: Its time to replace the desktop PC.....

Nick,

I am in the same boat. Have a PC that is 8 years old. Should replace it before it fails.
?
In response to your questions:
?
I would swap the i5 instead of i7 processor.
32 GB ram will be more than enough.
SSD drive seems OK. The way SSD prices are falling, you may want to think of getting a larger SSD.
?
Not sure about the graphics card, will watch to see what others say.

Hi Group,


I'm now at the stage where I need to replace my desktop PC. Currently I have an HP Core2 Duo 3.00 GHz system with 6GB RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX260 graphics card running two monitors.


I use it for programming (Crestron, Lutron, RTI, KNX), , D-Tools, Autocad (not often), and general MS Office stuff.


So what sort of spec should I be going for now?


I am thinking i7, 32GB RAM, 500GB SSD Drive, and ?? (insert suggestions here) graphics card...


I will be running a Philips 40" 4K display (probably in 1440P) and a dell 24" (in portrait mode for emails etc.)


Any suggestions as to spec that I should be aware of? i.e. would I be better with an i5 but add more memory or better graphics card? What graphics card is best bang for the buck?


What do you guys currently use spec wise that you are happy with.


I am happy to spend ?1K - ?2.5K on it but don't want to go overboard spending money on performance that just may not be required for my intended use.


TIA - Nick

Re: Voice Recognition is required by Client

 

My 1990 Motorola carphone responded to "telephone turn on" to wake up. Granted a car is an enclosed space so the mike did not have to be very sensitive but that was 25 years ago. Anyway where's HAL when you need him?

My panel thinks someone says OK Crestron about once or twice a night, and it¡¯s usually audio from the TV that does it. Occasionally someone will be talking and the panel will think it heard the key word. ?I thought there was a way to turn down the sensitivity¡­. But I haven¡¯t gotten around to looking for it.

At the Master's class last year they had it programmed to answer to "OK Crestron" (as opposed to "OK Google").? So, you don't have to press a button unless you want to.? Your mileage may vary with how well it works.?


Re: Voice Recognition is required by Client

 

Another +1 for Voice Pod if you don't have internet. It's not Jarvis but it works pretty well once you learn it's phrases. I would LOVE to work with someone on getting the Amazon Echo to play nice with Crestron but you have to setup a server that they play nice with and that seems like more stuff to support than it is worth.

They were talking about adding wakeup phrases to the TSW-XX2s, I don't know if that's available yet or not.

Thanks Jeremy.


This would be for some basic AV and lights control in my gym, where not having to get off the machine to change the music / TV channels would be of benefit!

I had also forgotten that the TSW1052 (purportedly) does voice commands. This might be worth a play first, although I think you need to press a button first to make it listen (?)

Re: Voice Recognition is required by Client

 

VoicePod has connections for an external mic and speaker, so you can hide it in a rack somewhere and trigger via wakeup phrase ("Hello VoicePod") or a button on the touchpanel.

I have tested VoicePod for a conference-room scenario, and it works well for what it does.? The lack of free-form dialing killed it for that project (can't recognize a string of digits without prompting for each one).

The library of recognized commands can only be expanded without cooperation from VoicePod, which they offer as a paid service.? The library of speech files is the same way.

Keep in mind that it's not free-form text recognition like people are used to with Siri, it's strictly menu-based.? If your application fits well into the existing menus (designed for residential A/V control), you're golden.? If not, you need to pay for custom programming.

The 232 interface is sensible and easy to handle from Crestron.

I don't know of any alternatives that work without Internet connections.

Thanks for your response.?


The problem is that client don't want to get it through any other device or app. bcoz they will not allow anyone to any new device which is physically viewable and is not included in their interior design. They want the integration in the same app and specially push to talk will not be accepted by the client.

Please advise.
