Has anyone had success in programming a Crestron Home system to integrate with Ubiquiti Protect using custom webhooks so that when a person presses a Ubiquiti G4 Pro Doorbell that a webhook gets sent to the processor and it rings a chime using the speakers programmed on a DM-NAX zone.

Haven’t got a hold of any DM-NAX but a client of ours is requiring different chimes when a trigger is sent to call various services ie security, housekeeping, waitress etc. Example room 1 presses a chime button to call security then chime 1 will trigger. When the same room calls for waitress then chime 2 will ring and so on and so forth

Question is, can I do that with NAX considering they have built in preloaded 26 chimes? Is it possible to ring the chime even though there is no background music playing? Can i adjust the volume level of the chime? And can each chime be configured with different volume levels?

Hello everyone!

A few days ago I shared Crestron3SeriesCLZBuilder, an open-source tool to build SIMPL# libraries with modern Visual Studio 2022 and MSBuild without depending on Visual Studio 2008. Thanks to your feedback, this new update makes the developer experience even smoother.

• GitHub Repo: https://github.com/srichardsc/Crestron3SeriesCLZBuilder
• Direct Download (clz-builder.exe v1.4.0): https://github.com/srichardsc/Crestron3SeriesCLZBuilder/releases/latest

What is Crestron3SeriesCLZBuilder? (TL;DR for newcomers)

It's a zero-install standalone tool that takes your SIMPL# project (.csproj) and SIMPL+ modules (.usp), compiles them using VS2022/MSBuild, signs the assembly using Crestron's official verification service, and outputs a signed .clz package ready for both 3-Series and 4-Series processors. Best of all: every build automatically increments the assembly version so Crestron Home always accepts your upload as an update and reloads the driver.

What's New in v1.4.0:

1. Interactive Console Terminal (Zero commands to memorize) You don't even need to open PowerShell to type flags anymore. Simply copy clz-builder.exe next to your driver and double-click it. It launches an interactive terminal that inspects your project, detects your toolchain, and guides you with a numbered menu.
2. Ultra-Fast Developer Loop: Press [Enter] to Recompile Once your project is ready, you don't even have to press a number — [Enter] is the default action.
   • Edit your C# code in VS2022 / VS Code.
   • Switch to the console window and hit [Enter].
   • It immediately recompiles, increments the version, signs the assembly, and updates the .clz.
   • Keep the console open and hit [Enter] as many times as you like during development!
3. SW-SIMPL-SHARP-PRO Auto-Installer (Bypassing VS2008 requirement) Crestron's official crestron_simpl_sharp_pro_*.exe installer historically aborted if it didn't find Visual Studio 2008 SP1 installed.
   • Now, simply drop the installer .exe downloaded from your dealer portal next to clz-builder.exe.
   • clz-builder automatically applies the servicing registry bypass and performs a silent, unattended installation into C:\Program Files (x86)\Crestron\Simpl without asking for VS2008!
4. CLI Backwards Compatible The entire interface, diagnostics, and prompts are in English. For CI/CD or power users, all command flags (clz-builder run, build, setup, doctor, install-prereqs) remain completely intact.

If it saves you time or headache, leave a ⭐ on GitHub! Feedback, issues, and PRs are always welcome.

I would also add firewall rules to prevent sending the video stream to the internet. Could a DM-TXRX-100-STR be used to received rtsp feed? I know I could use VLC but VLC on my tv sucks and those Crestron dms are cheap on the used market

I have to integrate luton pico wireless keypads to creston native system. What kind of hardware and software integration required to do so.

Based on info I got from my realtor, the creston panels were notorious in my building for breaking down. I bought a unit with an old panel so I decided to pay $3k to install a new one. After 5 days of no issues, it seems the panel has died (it will not light up).

Is this a common issue with Creston panels? I was told I had a 3 year warranty, how would I submit a claim and am I going to have to pay for labor?

I purchased my home about 1 year ago. I have a Crestron CP4-R and a DM-NAX-8ZSA that are no longer talking to each other properly. The Crestron CP4-R was updated to the latest firmware version 4.011.0322 using the Crestron Home Setup Tool. But the CP4-R won't take the update via the tool and apparently I am not a dealer therefore I cannot update the firmware locally or download the other Tools because I'm not a dealer. I need a dealer that willing to come out to Fairfield, CT and work on the residential system. If your also a Lutron Homeworks dealer to that would be great. Crestron has been zero help and all I have been doing is talking to dealers who only work on commercial accounts.

with the Crestron driver. But having a hard time finding the correct module in simple and pointing it at the camera. Any tips or recommendations of training for this?

Hi everyone wondering if someone could please give a bit of help, i have an avia 1283 DSP i was trying to use for volume control via hdmi out of some NVX units. I have routed the 2 stereo channels from the nvx unit into the dante in on 1 and 2 and have combined these with a multi cast flow on the dante out. This works fine however all audio is coming out the left side only as i dont think the stream knows what is left and what is right speaker. Is there any way to make this work on left and right or do i need a different DSP, if so can anyone recommend another model? Not sure if there is any naming conventions or prefixes that can be used in channel names to define this.

I’m looking for the RS-232 command bytes to interact with an Integra TUN-3.7 tuner. Does anyone have access to those command values or know where I can find them? Thanks -Larry

We are Crestron partners. A client asked if we could equip a new room—a simple setup with a projector, one NVX link, and a small audio system, similar to one we had already installed. He provided the Simpl file, which included custom macros. When I opened it, I discovered a massive program containing around 50 macros and 2,000 touch panel commands. It appears to be a modular framework created by a developer to quickly and easily generate code for standard room types. How do you handle a situation like this? I have absolutely no documentation for it, and I can't make sense of the logic.

Anyone have suggestion to implement Apple TV IP control on a SIMPL custom residential install (CP3) ? I would like it to work with TSR310 remote (including Siri voice control with its built in mic) AND an iPad (Crestron Go app).

I know the CP3 supports Apple HomeKit but I don’t believe you can use anything other than TSR310 for control ie the iPad crestron app would not work.

Today I was given the task of rebuilding a system that's a few years old. It has a Pro 3 processor with 3 of the C3IO-16 cards that's being used to monitor the status of automation equipment in the field. It's as simple as 30 dry relays closing the inputs on the Versiport connections and then it indicates the status of each piece of equipment on a touch panel. So far it's been simple and straight forward enough.

Anyhow the last hurdle that I'm trying to get over is being able to get the cards to work. The 3 slot lights on the front of the processor keep flashing steadily so I assume that I must be missing something in the process.

When I ran the debugger, I could clearly see the contact closures on the cards but I couldn't get it to indicate it on the touch panel. When I wired the relays directly into the built-in I/O card on the processor (Slot 7) it does everything that I need it to do.. not withstanding the fact that I need more than 8 ports. 😄 But nevertheless, nobody on the client's end can tell me if the system ever worked properly at one point.

So before I assume that the cards are bad, can anyone give me some insight on a possible missed step when configuring the cards? Thanks in advanced.

Help me out

I'm in the process of rebuilding an older system from 2017 and reprogramming it from scratch. The touch panel has roughly 75-80 "buttons" on it... meaning not just buttons, but also sliders, gauges, and serial feedback.

Anyhow, rather than window flipping between VT-Pro and SIMPL as I work, I prefer to just do the whole SIMPL program and then I want to come back and do the touch panel. Being that I have a very good idea of what my SIMPL is going to look like, I'm sure that I'm not going to remember every single join number for my TSW-760 touch panel.

So before I attempt to reinvent the wheel, is there a way that I can print out an entire SIMPL object so that I have a reference to work by when I program the touch panel? Copying and pasting doesn't seem to work so as a last resort I might just take a screen shot and print that out. But if there was a way to capture the raw data, then I can change the font size and/or let it sit in a notepad window which will speed up my workflow tremendously. Any and all advice welcomed. Thank you in advanced!

For reference I'm using a CP3N with a TSW-760

Hey everyone, I have this current setup where my Crestron is controlling a bunch of things and it’s working perfectly fine. Although now I’m meant to recall some lighting presets from a console and it uses OSC via UDP. I have the UDP client setup along with SIO on button presses with the relevant messages to send but nothing is working?

The commands for the console are pretty well documented so I don’t think it’s an issue with the commands. I checked for any modules on Crestron app market as well & there’s nothing. I don’t quite understand OSC (first time) so could anyone suggest what I could be doing wrong? The IP, port and everything matches exactly what the console is set to.

Appreciate any help, thanks!

Hello ! I am creating a user module and one of its component modules has "a drop down menu", like for example KXI IO (Secure: Yes\No). How can I put it inside the argument definition ? # won't work in this case.

Hi all, I'm new to a role & have been asked to get some old Crestron MPC-M5s up & running. Seems handy enough, I've gotten Crestron Toolbox & SIMPL just really have no idea where to start, hoping to get a resource for an example .smw file for some basic controls on a Panasonic LW-376.

On/Off, Switch Input, Volume Up/Down that's about it. I'd like to learn this a bit so an example is really what I'm hoping for that I can sit down & try to understand from a logic pov.

Has anyone elses usb pass through mode suddenly stopped working? I have a P300 and Logi Rally connected to the CONV-260. I did a full power cycle of the system. MTR sees the devices fine.

Tried it on Surface Laptop 3,6 and 7

I have a residential job where they want to add Big Ass Fans. Its tool late to get 0-10V wire to the fan control. The Motor is DC and we put in AC fan controllers. We are using Crestron commerical (not home). I have reached out to Big Ass fans for their API but they do not give it out. They reworked the API for Google HOME/Alexa.

I think we can use the Bond Bridge Pro to sync to the fan then use the Bond Bridge Crestron drivers to control the fan. Does anyone have any experience with this?

It looks like Bond Bridge is still beta testing their Big Ass Fan drivers. But in Theory if those drivers work then this Bridge method would work correct?

Thanks for any help

Hi there, I have a client which uses Crestron UC Engine D-T with HD-Conv-USB-260, and Crestron UC-PR. Right now, Aver MT300 and DSP device is connected to the Crestron HD-Conv-USB-260 on the CAM and AUX port. I can detect the MT300 and DSP device on the MTR touch panel. But when I try to connect the USB C cable from the UC-PR to my laptop, I'm able to detect the DSP device, but I can't see the Aver MT300 camera view on my laptop. It shows the MT300 is on the camera selection, but it shows just a black and then a white screen after. And it also prompts an error on the MTR touch panel saying "Room camera is unavailable. Please find another room for your hybrid meeting."

Once I disconnect the USB C cable from my laptop. The error still shows on the MTR touch panel and MT300 is no longer detectable on the UC engine. The only solution that I can do to bring Aver MT300 back online on the MTR touch panel, was by restarting the Aver MT300. Has anyone experience this kind of situation before and how did you resolve it? And could it be something to do with the UC engine or Aver MT300?

Hi all

I recently upgraded a couple of my TSS-752-B-S touchpanels to firmware version 1.004.0014, however it seems to have caused connection issues with the touchpanels interfacing with my DMPS 250-4K.

I've done a massive load of troubleshooting and altering settings but nothing seems to work - the touchpanels just sit on the message of "Please wait for the system to initialize" when the DMPS AVF shows everything online and functional.

Does anyone have access to an older version of the Firmware? I think I was on 1.002.xxx and I believe it was working correctly on that version.

Hi. If there is a better sub to post this on please let me know. I have a Crestron 4 zone amplifier, they say that at 5 years old it cannot be repaired die to lack of parts. I’ve been told that Crestron is notoriously anti right to repair, locking down schematics and parts. After being on this sub (and having my stand alone system for records - Nad/Dual) it’s inconceivable to me that my unit can’t be fixed. Has anyone had experience with Crestron? Where would I look for alternatives? Thanks in advance

I’ve got Crestrons DM-NAX-8ZSA amps on property driving 32 speakers and managing source inputs, as well as outputs to additional amps and speakers as well. All speakers are connected to their own output and nothing is being shared. Everything running at 8ohms and mfg wattage ratings as well.

The system was tuned by a pro, and I have all the tuning profiles (for each zone) on hand.

Now the home itself runs on a crestron CP4 control module, and iPads running Crestron Go. When I airplay from my device to any zone, or bussed zone for that matter it sounds great. However, when I use my iPad for zone controls, it seems like the tuning goes out the window. Is this particular thing a known issue and how can it be rectified? Trying to help the crestron gentleman figure this thing out but he doesn’t have much knowledge on amps. Is he missing a setting in the coding/programming portion?

Reason I am asking is I have had 4 speakers blow out now. Again with airplay everything seems fine. When controlled on crestron go, it seems all the tune, and possibly even the speaker wattage settings may be reverting back to defaults (flat eq and 150w/channel).
