Re: Toolbox on a Macbook Pro via Parallels
Oh, right on, great to know.? I either missed that possibility completely, or gave up before that became an option.
My long term favored solution has?just been to?dedicate a Windows machine for running Crestron software, and then control it on the MacBook from remote desktop (such as with Jump Desktop or another app that makes remoting into Windows as pleasant as possible).? Each thing I "must" use Windows for, generally gets its own dedicated laptop, or one of those cheap fanless mini-PC's you can get on Amazon with Windows pre-installed.

Mike, you can run the wifi in bridged mode. I did this for over 10 years on several MacBook's. The only system I ever had an issue with is Ruckus. By default they prevent this. A simple command on the ZD or Master AP and it will work.

Re: Toolbox on a Macbook Pro via Parallels
The problem you are having isn't normal. I ran a few different MacBook's until they went away from Intel, I never had the issue you are having. Try changing your network settings.

Re: Toolbox on a Macbook Pro via Parallels
The operative issue here is how you connect to the network.? Also, WiFi and Ethernet have two different stories and two different solutions.
For the purposes of this message, caution for similar terminology:? "MAC" does not mean the same thing as "MacBook".? "MAC address" is the unique 12-hex-digit number that is burned into the network adapter at manufacture, and applies to all network adapters, whether WiFi/Ethernet/MacOS/Windows.
Anyway -- If you are connecting via WiFi, you are going to struggle to get a Parallels?VM to connect to the network without restriction, unless you 1) use an external USB WiFi adapter and 2) let Windows operate it directly by assigning the USB port directly to the VM.? This is because your Windows virtual machine is normally going to get a private IP address using NAT, behind the MacBook (as though the MacBook is a router) and it won't have its own IP address on the target network, nor direct access to scan it.? There is no way around this, when sharing the MacBook's WiFi adapter.
On Ethernet, it's conceptually possible for one Ethernet connection to present multiple hosts (each with their own MAC address) to the network...on WiFi, this is not allowed, each WiFi adapter makes its own connection and gets one IP associated with its single MAC address.? So to reiterate the solution, you'd use a second WiFi adapter over USB, which has a separate MAC address, and let Windows drive this second WiFi adapter directly, by assigning the USB port to the virtual machine.? The MacBook won't know anything about it, other than that it is just a USB device that is forwarded into the VM.
If it's Ethernet, there's less of a struggle, because you are allowed to configure the virtual machine to be "bridged" to the system ethernet connection and have the MacBook present two MAC addresses to the network simultaneously.? Bridging is not the default network configuration for Parallels, you must manually configure that in Parallels options.? But when successful, you'll have two IP addresses on the local network...one for Mac OS, the other for Windows.

Has anyone been able to successfully run Toolbox on a Macbook Pro via Parallels?
?
I know this question has been asked in a previous thread from a few years ago, but I was hoping there would be some new info/success stories available.
Toolbox opens just fine and I can see all of the Crestron devices in the system. However, I can't connect to anything, be it through Device Discovery or the Address Book. I've tried every setting suggestion in the old thread and it still won't allow me to connect to any devices. Is this a settings issue on the Macbook Pro side? Or is this a Parallels-Windows issue that hasn't/can't been solved? If so, is anyone using a differnt software-VM combo that will work on my Macbook Pro? Heres what I'm using:
?
2018 Macbook Pro 15"
OS: Ventura 13.7.1
Processor: 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9 processor
Parallels with Windows 10 VM
?
Thank you in advance for any help or solutions!

Re: Toolbox on a Macbook Pro via Parallels
Have been running Parallels on all machines running back to 2014 after I was tired of getting the blue screens of death on Dell computers.? Haven’t had any issues other than on my 21 32GB M1 16” MBP with just
USB devices. Some devices work no issues and others don’t.? Haven’t had to do anything particular to get it all to work.

C9300 Multicast flooding to NVXs
Hi,
?
I am working on a project to implement Creston NVXs, Q-Sys etc, I work on the network side so don't 100% understand all of it. We are having an issue where ports connected to NVX-D30 at random point during the day and night get flooded with traffic, overwhelming port causing traffic to drop therefore the display flick. We can go hours with out issue, there no real pattern to when and why it occurs. Network consists C9300 connected to C9500 core where the igmp querier is. This AV kit sits on its own vlan. Snooping and immediate leave are enabled. No matter how much QoS I put on the put it still falls over. Has anyone see this kind of this before? or has some example config in which might help? I am lost on what it could be. Any help would much appreciated.
Happy to share more logs and config.
From the 9300:

Re: Toolbox on a Macbook Pro via Parallels
Ok great, thank you for that info!
I will definitely try VMWare Fusion Pro, because I am sick and tired of carrying 2 laptops with me everywhere I go. ??
|
Re: Toolbox on a Macbook Pro via Parallels
Chris, I have been using Toolbox on my Macbook Pro via VMWare Fusion Player for about 2 years now.? It works great, as long as I don't try to connect via USB cable directly to the device.? VMWare does not support the driver needed for the USB cable to communicate to the device.
?
I just saw that Workstation Player and Fusion Player have been discontinued, but VMWare Fusion Pro is free for personal use.? It's available from Broadcom.? You would need to re-install your Windows, though.

Re: Floor Heating Tstat, Hi-Volt thats Integratable
Just use a contactor with the appropriate voltage on the coil.? Then you can use any thermostat
I'm at the point where giving up is the only option as well.
?
Regarding NuHeat, I went back and forth with them and Intersystem Controls for over a year to finally get it working.
Finally, about 2 months ago, Intersystem emailed me an updated module that "fixed" the controls a bit.
?
My system would get authentication and seemed fine, but none of the commands would work except for "Get Info".
With the new module, it has been working consistently for about 2 months.
?
It's worth mentioning that you should somewhat ignore the example program with regards to how it handles analog temperatures.
It is structured to just throw away the remainder when converting to a 2-digit temp for display on an interface.
My clients don't like it when the thermostat reads 79 and the Crestron panel reads 78 because 78.8 isn't properly rounded up.
I just did the rounding the proper method.
?
Regarding other options, I'm looking into options using Hubitat (Thanks Jay!!!).
Sinope makes 120/208/240V in-floor heating thermostats that are compatible with Hubitat.
So, fingers crossed ... that might be the best option.
?
Otherwise, maybe making pizza for a living is still on the table!

Re: Floor Heating Tstat, Hi-Volt thats Integratable
Thanks Brian.
After my recent article on integrating home assistant (HA) with
Crestron
(),
you might check if there is an HV floor heating thermostat
compatible with that platform.? While I really like the Hubitat,
and it has proven to be a very reliable platform,? HA integrates
with many more products than the Hubitat does. ?
I'm running both in my house now and haven't had any reliability
issues with either one.? I will preface that with the fact I've
been running the Hubitat since 2020 and only started working with
HA this past summer.?
Hope this helps

What's the approximate cost, assuming there are no other issues with the panel?
For a point of reference, what's the approximate cost to replace a screen? That seems to be very common.
What are the typical turn-around times for common repairs?
Also, where are you located?

Re: Floor Heating Tstat, Hi-Volt thats Integratable
With new construction and some retrofit, you definitely could use 'standard' TStats. But if you have existing Hi-Volt units, it can be a bear to retro an LV TStat as you need not only a 'Low-to-High volt' relay but also a transformer to power the Stat... It gets pretty ugly even in a 2-gang box, and a lot of these units are in a 1-gang box. It's still possible but not nice.? The NuHeat units would be great if their integration didn't suck!!
?
Horizon supports 10k Ohm sensors now so that could be an Replacement option when install allows, though it would likely need to be remoted, as it is horizontal orientation and has the in-wall 'bump' that would definitely eliminate fitting in a gang box with a Tx and relay...
?
Just hoping for a decent alternative...? (I should always be prepared for disappointment...)
