Reading Lutron Homeworks Illumination Output Strings
sumocomputers
Having issues with Lutron to Crestron.
We are using a very old CNMSX-PRO with an equally old ST-COM connected to a Lutron Homeworks Illumination Panel via RS-232, and having some problems reading data from the Lutron correctly. We know that when looking for strings coming out of Lutron, passing into the ST-COM, we can correctly identify the string as an example, for the Living Room Keypad Button in the following format, which matches up with the Lutron documentation: KBP, [01:06:07], 10\r Just to clarify, we have logic on the ST-COM that says "when we see the following string, go turn on the fireplace." Here is an explanation of the string: Keypad Button Press (KBP)Processor 1 (01)Link 6 (06)Keypad ID 7 (07)Button 10 (10)Carriage Return (\r) The above works perfectly. However, when we try other Keypads with other fireplaces, we get failure to recognize the strings. After troubleshooting a little, it appears that if the Keypad ID has double digits (like 10, 14, 16, etc), it doesn't work. I suspect one of three things: 1. Although Lutron should be sending out ASCII, for some reason it is sending out some other format (we cannot use SIMPL debugger to verify). It should be noted that for a Keypad ID of 10 as an example, none of the following worked placed into the ST-COM (note we are trying decimal, ASCII, and hex). Also see screenshot down below. KBP, [1:6:10], 5\r KBP, [01:06:10], 5\rKBP, [01:06:0A], 5\r None of the above work at all. 2. The second possibility is that the Crestron is not correctly translating the ASCII it is receiving, therefore not turning on the fireplace. 3. Maybe we need to set some options on the ST-COM Module, that I am not aware of. I tried to see if there is a way under "Configure Device" to set it for ASCII, Hex, or Decimal, but there is no option like that. What I really want to do, is monitor what the Crestron is really seeing from the Lutron Panel when certain Lutron Keypad buttons are pressed, but I think I need to use SIMPL Debugger for that. Since we cannot use Toolbox, and therefore SIMPL Debugger with this CNMSX-PRO, we are stuck. I tried using Toolbox and could not get it to work. Crestron verified that Toolbox will not work with our CNMSX-PRO. Please see Lutron documentation here: ; rotocol%202.pdf Please see screenshot of the ST-COM here: ; t%206.15.31%20PM-1.jpg Thanks |

Download the legacy tools, Test Manager is in there. It is the "debugger" for x-series.

I have logged into my Crestron Residential Dealer Account, and I cannot find Legacy Tools anywhere in their long list of downloads.

I also logged into their FTP site, hunted around, and could not find anything. Google & Crestron site search also gave me a bunch of people saying you need the Legacy Tools, but no link. Any clues where I can get it? It seems like it has disappeared. Thanks --- In Crestron@..., Heather Baiman <heather@...> wrote:

It's in the Simpl Windows folder of the ftp site

Don't know how I missed that, but I got it now.
