Hi,
Your simpl+ part is only compiled for old x series processors.
You have also locked your module preventing recompile.

Best regards

If I send about 10 values every 5 seconds to Crestron, Crestron closes the connection to the node. A reconnect isnt possible, i have to restart the Crestron Program via Toolbox. If I send the 10 values, let me say, every 60 Minutes the Connection is stable. Do you have an idea how to fix this issue?

"Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 192.168.2.13:9999"

Crestron Program needs to be restarted because not all string values update or passed to Crestron.
Noted Red shows connected and debug shows data correctly to CrestNode. However, CrestNode strings show "" in Crestron ToolBox debug console.

Was wondering if you might like to share the Crestron source as I wanted to add a feature or two. 1) digital output to show the connection. 2) Digital to show activity. 3) May be even a debug serial string. I do all my work in 2 and 3 series units as I mostly do lighting systems.... Thank you very much in advance and have a great day.

Hi,

thanks for this contribution.

I've started to use this contribution with my Crestron MP2E and Node-Red. When I add multiple Cresnodes in SIMPL Windows, I start to get errors when I deploy. This is what I get:

Program Initialized.

Any chance you would share the password for Crestron to be able to look at it?

SongzH96 - I sent you a second email today. Let me know the answer please.

Hi,
great job, but serial communication does not work. analog & digital is fine.

Hi, I think I found another strange behaviour.
If I send char ":" to nodered from the crestron processor, the string gets truncated.
for example
{"name":"light_I","value":"{"state":"ON","transition":"0"}"}
will result in receiving {"name"
Another example:
If I send one:two i receive just one, but if I send one@two I receive the full string.
Tried with different characters but so far only ":" is bracking the output

Great job for the module node-red-contrib-crestron, BUT it would be better to check the simple+ code for security reasons.
Thank you!

Hi, thank you for this nice node. I was testing it on my system but I get this error time to time:

I'm currently using the analog and serial signal only, no digital.
I think it is related to one of the serial inputs (nodered --> crestron) but the communication i send is just plain text..
Do you have any idea?

Hi
I have used the module and it works very well. Great job so far!
But is it possible to expand the module so we can get 100-200 outputs instead of 10?
I have already used my 10 outputs and are planning for 30 more :-)

Is it possible to change (I assume this would be in the SIMPL+ code) the string length array to handle 180 characters? In my instance, Node-Red is sending out a sting of 175 characters and I only get 131 characters back in Crestron SIMPL windows program. Otherwise the code works perfectly for my application - thank you for writing this. Will be sure to send you some $ for use in my home automation system.

This stopped working for me upon upgrade. No Crestron signals are received.

Hello,
I copy the two SIMPL+ files in my Module Folder but i can´t see it in Simpl Windows.

Hi.
The downloadeble zip file does have a wrong cres node file. When extracting this to the simplwindows program it does not show in the project window. But once I replace it with the oldest file compiled in 24/12 it does compile. Can you update zip with the latest 1.0.3 version of the cres node?

Great work by the way!

Hi,

Great job by the way. I am trying to send either a bollean false or true dependent on when a sensor is open or closed. True works but false does not. I also tried sending a 1 or 0 via string inject. Any thoughts on if I am doing something wrong?
