Re: CP3 Firmware: where can I get version 1.503?

 

You can find older firmware on ftp.crestron.com use the same crede3ntials you use on the main Crestron website.

Use your file explorer for ftp://ftp.crestron.com and search the archives.?

Re: Crestron Lutron XML Import

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I did this about 10 years ago with Homework Illumination.? At the time I had a windows program that would parse the XML and generate an INI file that I could parse with my INI parser.? I ended up parsing out the keypad button names and address and used it directly in a program.? It was pretty cool at the time, but that code is long gone!

I'd imagine that it is much easier now to do this with direct XML parsing in SIMPL#.

Re: C# HttpsClientRequest refuses to send content

 

So I did ultimately figure out why my code all of the sudden stopped working when I switched over to HTTPS from regular HTTP. Apparently the two libraries behave differently when sending the body out.? I was using a HTTP GET request in this particular case.? While the HTTP spec doesn't seem to specifically disallow using a body in a GET request, the HTTPS client does not allow for it at all.? Interesting thing though is that the regular HTTP client does allow for it and it works fine.


This would have been a lot easier to find if both of the libraries (HTTP and HTTPS) behaved the same.

Re: Help needed: AC IR control not working

 

Thorsten
Typically the IR codes from AC remotes?use a reasonably complex code combination system of multiple values or actions. Essentially the codes you learn may not be as simple as the button?you press "turn on" or "temp up" but?rather a context specific command?as calculated by the remote that would include all values for: mode, fan speed, louvre swing, set temp and sometimes even timer info put together into the one command. This is usually the case to keep the AC system synchronized with?any user feedback like an LCD screen on the remote itself.

I have heard of stubborn programmers learning every possible combination?IR code and programming the system to calculate which IR code to use for each context (as would be built inside the original?remote). Alternatively you could check out products like who have done all of the work of mapping the context IR codes for most systems out there and I seem to recall seeing an integration module somewhere.

Hi,

i?m currently at a job-site trying to integrate a Swegon 51 air-condition.

It?s only IR controlled, so not ideal anyway, but customer wants to keep it.

I learned the codes from the original remote control with a CNXLIR.

Codes sent out via approx. 10m CAT cable (two pairs used for the IR).

Testing with the CNXLIR, the codes are coming out correctly.

However, the AC doesn?t react. We?ve even ripped out the circuit with the IR receiver and put the IR emitter (original Crestron) directly onto it.

But no luck ¨C the AC just doesn?t react.

?

So CNXLIR learned correctly. Verifing against the origirnal remote is OK. Verifying against the learned codes using the CAT connection works.

But device doesn?t react.

?

Any ideas what to try?

?

Cheers, Thorsten

MS is trying to shift $$$ from integrators to their power hungry data centers (aka the cloud). Sooner than later they will introduce cloud TV control into MTR (why do you think they don't offer CEC), probably a partnership with Samsung first (just a guess) and so on. This train has no brakes.


Re: Flex Teams Integration - Any Word From Crestron?

Interesting.? Weird that Crestron didn¡¯t tell me that when I email them.

?

I mean, this is my career and has been for 20+ years now, so you understand how freakin¡¯ frustrating it can be that they are not only doing these one-touch rooms which excludes the programmers, but when a client wants to mix it up a bit, they seemed to have forgotten to ensure that integration is a first level thing that they should be laser focused on as part of the long term plan.

?

Still, it will be nice if they are able to get a lot more information into control systems so we can truly make ¡®ONE BUTTON TO START¡¯ meetings a reality.

?

Fingers cross, but thanks so much for letting me know that you¡¯ve been getting some useful information out of the Teams UC Engine.? I also will pass on to some clients that actual meeting monitoring may be coming down the pipeline so that they can (perhaps) get exactly the results they are hoping to achieve.

Mostly the clients I am dealing with who find this all completely shocking and extremely disappointing consider the price tag associated with it and the baseline functionality that they all feel is missing.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

That¡¯s pretty indicative behavior for a RMC that¡¯s lost the will to live for any number of reasons. Generally once it has gotten to that point if it¡¯s still under warranty RMA is the best option, otherwise replacement with new or previously purchased product
