Re: Sony AV receiver control
I tried it with both pointing to pkg and pointing to dll.? Path is as described in OLH directions \\user\\CrestronCertifiedDrivers\\App1\\AvReceiver_Sony_STR-ZA3000ES-MultiZone_IP.pkg ? Once I got it working, probably because of the MSP, it worked for both paths. ? I have been using the CCD for a while.? I haven't had any issues.? my process has been
1.? Change the .pkg to .zip and extract.? I noticed that your path was to the .pkg and not to .dll
2.? Created CCD subfolder under USER
3.? Copy the 2 extracted files to the CCD folder
4.? SIO to MSP with a parameter large enough to accommodate the path length.? 2 parameters in the SIO Path and IP.? I have never defined anything other than path and IP
5.? Pulse the SIO and a second later pulse the LOAD DRIVER
\\User\\CCD\\AvReceiver_Sony_STR-ZA3000ES_IP.dll

Re: Sony AV receiver control
Would still love to know where I was missing the boat on the CCD...super frustrating.? Never in a million years would I have considered using the Crestron Connected AVR...fingers crossed.? I cant believe the lack of documentation.? You guys rock.

Re: Sony AV receiver control
FTR, My friend Troy Garner has a service to update Older CLZ modules with the NewtonSoft issue for $ 50.00 - well worth it!!? (Sorry I didn't see your post sooner).
Not only did this fix my Sony AVR IP module issue, but he can fix other modules with the same problem...

Re: Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today
Shelly is great and with Tasmota even better. I've made a
modification to Tasmota firmware which allows Shelly to
communicate with Davis meteostation. Based on actual information
from meteostation Shelly drives output relay. No control system
needed (sorry Crestron).

If you:
- Need a relay in a remote
location for a fraction of the price of a CEN-IO-RY
- Need to capture a
contact closure at a remote location
- Need to turn an existing
fixture into a smart fixture
- and more...
Shelly has products to
solve these problems.
In addition, there is a free driver I wrote (that can be downloaded from my GitHub) that allows Crestron programmers to integrate control of Shelly products into a Crestron system.

Re: Sony AV receiver control
It is a pleasure to be able to help out in a pinch ? Sweet Jesus...the Crestron Connected is actually working pretty well...I'm using it.? Zero headway on the CCD.? MSTC I owe you big time for the help.

Re: Sony AV receiver control
One other thing. ? I added MSP for path and IP ? Doing it with v1.10 works! ? Well, Crestron Connected might work well enough. ? I just did DB update and saw the AVR ethernet module goes all the way up to 1.10 so I am going to replace with that one and try again. ? lol...I cannot even get the "driver loaded" FB to go high.? I moved the driver directly to the USER path just to make sure.? Pointed the TXT to the DLL and the PKG...nothing nothing and more nothing...

Re: Sony AV receiver control
Alright, updating DB now...will give AVR 1.10 a shot.

Re: Sony AV receiver control
Yeah thats how Ive been doing it...been trying to get it to work all day with no success...I cannot believe that this is the future for Crestron drivers...no help file no example.? Are we really expected to sift through the script with an editor to see what is even supported?? Im honestly moments from giving up.? I am here to fix the Sonos and Ive now broken the Sony.? Crestron, you really suck...I mean really,? how is this even a thing?

Re: Sony AV receiver control
I have enabled all three logging functions and this is what I get when I try loading driver. ? SimplDriver - Unable to initialize TCP driver. Exception = Could not load type 'Crestron.RAD.DeviceTypes.RADAVReceiver.AAvrZone' from assembly 'RADAVReceiver, Version=2.5.1.7, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.??? S-13_Log ? No, IP, and its been working for years...
These CCD's are a pain in the ass...
I'm having trouble getting it to even load...
The path I am using is:? ??\\user\\CrestronCertifiedDrivers\\App01\\AvReceiver_Sony_STR-ZA3000ES-MultiZone_IP.pkg
Which I'm 99.9% certain is where I put it ...then pulsing LOAD DRIVER
I am then loading the IP, PORT, WARMUP and COOLDOWN, then pulsing connect...no dice...any thoughts?

Re: Sony AV receiver control
Trying to get this also. ? Use SIO for IP address and issue it before Load Driver. ? I noticed that Crestron Connected seems to still work but it is less than optimal ? No, IP, and its been working for years...

Re: tsw-xx70 button toolbar behaviour
That behavior makes sense to me, or at least it doesn't surprise me that it works that way. Add the extender back in and enable the buttons. Or RESTORE the panel to factory settings.

Hello everyone, I have several sites the need to be upgraded to the 200 series database in order to regain Sonos control,,,problem is that many of these sites also have Sony AV receivers whose modules only work with the older database.? ?Fix one thing break another.? Has anyone updated the Sony STR-ZA 1.1 module to be compatible with the new database?? There rarely seems to be a winning situation as of late with these updates.
