2N doorstation and Crestron App

 

I have a client that had a 2N doorstation installed (they read it was compatible with Crestron), and they want a doorbell trigger to occur over the speakers.? My problem is this house has no touch panels, and just IPADs.

Can The 2N doorstation trigger any of the IPADs digital signals on the VOIP device extender?

Thanks?

You need to purchase the optional HTTP package for the 2N doorstation.? That will allow the 2N to send a http request to your Crestron processor when the door bell button is pressed.?

I have used an Crestron MC3 processor to accomplish this.? 2N send a HTTP request to the MC3.? MC3 processor sends a wave file out its L/R audio output to the speakers.? Pretty simple.? No touch panels needed.

A lot of the new 2N doorstations can call crestron on SIP Rava. Problem with iPads is that they need to be running the crestron app to get this notification and to ring. Best bet would be to buy the license that allows the mobile apps to work and they can just use the 2N app to talk with the doorstation outside of crestron.?

				
				
				
			

			
			

	

	
			

			

				
					

				
				
			

			

				

					

				

			

			
			
			

			


				
	



			
		
			
				
	

		
			

			
			

			
			
			

				

					


						
							

								
								
							

						
					

					

						
							


						
						 
						
							
							
						
						
					

				

			

			

			

				
I think the iPad has to be awake, with the Crestron App active, for that to work - although I've never tried it.

I've also never worked with 2N, but I think it can send an HTTP event to the Crestron processor, so you could trigger your logic that way.

    If you want the 2N to ring on an iPad, you have to install the 2N
    app on the iPad and then subscribe to month fee per iPad to enable
    that feature.?? The 2N app does not need to be running to ring the
    iPad -- it will automatically come up when the door bell is press.?
    It is however cloud base -- so if your internet is down, it won't
    call the iPads.? Also, when you have a large number of iPads (e.g.
    >10), I find it kind of unreliably.

    

    The other issue I have with the 2N iPad App is the ring tone is
    quite annoying on the iPad.? We later switched to using http request
    to the Crestron MC3 to play a wave file (door sound followed by the
    name of the door bell press) over the house audio system.

This is the exact solution I need.? No video or ringing on IPAD, just a digital signal in the processor to trigger audio events.

I'm assuming you added a TCP/IP server to your program to catch the event.? Steve, care to share the details with me?

I'll contact 2N and inquire about the optional HTTP package.

Thanks,
J

    Yes, you add a TCP/IP server to your Crestron program to catch the
    event and send it to an SIO symbol.? You point the 2N to your
    Crestron processor IP address and you trigger the 2N on the
    doorbell.? You fill in the string you want to send to the Crestron
    in the 2N gui.? It is that simple.? 2N tech support is pretty good,
    so call them if you have any questions.

    

    The HTTP package is a one time charge per 2N door box -- unlike the
    iPad interface which is a monthly charge forever and ever.??? You
    point your web browser to the IP address of the 2N, log in, and add
    the license key.? Before you enter the license key, you will see the
    HTTP option in the 2N gui but it will be greyed out.? After you
    enter the key, you can select it.

Thanks guys, I got it working.

I'm embarrassed to admit for the first hour of my troubleshooting I was using the wrong IP address of my CP3.? Shit.

Hi Steve,?

did you use a TCP-IP server or client to receive commands from a 2N door station??



I have tried both with port 80

i can send commands via a client, but don’t receive any.. cannot work out why? Can you help??


If you send the command say “doorbell” what do you put in the http module parameters of the 2N send http request?

uri ?
username ?
password ?
method ??
type ?
text ??



what port in the server / client what ever I need to use??



thanks

Graham

				
				
				
			

			
			

	

	
			

			

				
					

				
				
			

			

				

					

				

			

			
			
			

			


				
	



			
		
			
				
	

		
			

			
			

			
			
			

				

					


						
							

								
								
							

						
					

					

						
							


						
						 
						
							
							
						
						
					

				

			

			

			

				
You cannot use port 80 as both the Crestron processor and 2N doorphone are already using those ports for other functions.? Here is an example setup.

Let's say your Crestron processor is at 192.168.5.10.

In the 2N doorphone under Hardware/Switches/HTTP Commands/Switch-on command enter

You may also need to set the switch mode to "Monostable" Relay 1 with a pulse length of about 5 seconds.

In the SIMPL program, add a TCP/IP Server symbol and set the port number to 53333
Set the IP address to 0.0.0.0
Connect the RX$ output of the TCP/IP Server symbol to an SIO symbol and in the parameter field of the SIO symbol, enter
FrontDoor=on

Now when someone presses the doorbell button on the 2N, it will trigger you SIO symbol in your SIMPL program.

Of course, you have to purchase an HTTP license for the 2N door phone.? Otherwise the HTTP Command section will be greyed out.

Good Luck,
Steve

Hi Steve,

stupidly i didnt think about the we port being used by the processor.

think this was my downfall..

i will give it a try.

and yes i have the automation Licence.

many thanks!

Graham
