DA-Lite Smart Switch
|
Has anyone ever hacked a Da-Lite smart switch so that I could control it via contact closure? or even RS-232/IP/Other I am not able to access the screen motor so my only option is the existing smart switch. I called Da-Lite and they said they do not sell any product that will convert the smart switch into a relay. but I was wondering if anyone here might have come up with a custom solution. Thank you -Scott |
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýCan you access the splitter board that the Smart Switch is connected to? Ideally, Crestron should be connected to the splitter board dry contact inputs, not the smart switch or the motor -- See page 5 of , for example, or this video (at time 1:34 if the link doesn¡¯t take you directly there) ? While I¡¯ve never done it and it would be completely unsupported and void every warranty and rating that existed (which could be a liability issue if anything went wrong) the buttons on the switch are just closing a circuit, so if you don¡¯t mind sacrificing the switch you should be able to solder to either side of the contacts the switch is making and connect it to a Crestron relays. Of course, doing this you¡¯ll need three relays if you want to do stop (instead of up+down simultaneously) ? -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-E-4K/T/D ?

I was thinking of Buying a switch to butcher. and I might look into that seriously now. Just to see what is under the button covers at a minimum.
So this customer in their wisdom have a wall mounted screen. they then built a large wooden box around it to make it look "Nicer" with no access holes of any kind. so the motor and its board can never be accessed. If the motor goes bad they will have to demolish this "Custom Box"? Sigh. |
