Thanks! I will definitely look into it. Have a good night or day wherever you reside! CR

In C+, AMX coding for example is the buffering or analyzing the string feedback from the device you are trying to control. You might only need parts of it so you can use as true feedback. A prime example is Aprilaire and Jandy products as the receive string is so long and all you want is the status along with current temp you to a variable text window created in touchpanel design. Takes counting charachters to display true feedback. Example Below: You could maybe also take a look at AMXX's parse native? I think it does what you want, except obviously it's coded as a native right now... Looks kind of long, though. PHP Code: /* Gets parameters from text. * Example: to split text: "^"This is^" the best year", * call function like this: parse(text,arg1,len1,arg2,len2,arg3,len3,arg4,len4) * and you will get: "This is", "the", "best", "year" * Function returns number of parsed parameters. */ native parse(const text[], ... ); static cell AMX_NATIVE_CALL parse(AMX *amx, cell *params) /* 3 param */ { int inum = *params / sizeof(cell), iarg = 2, c; char* arg, *parse = get_amxstring(amx, params[1], 0, c); cell *cptr; int state; while (*parse) { arg = parse_arg(&parse,state); if (state) { if (inum <= iarg) return ((iarg - 2)>>1); cptr = get_amxaddr(amx, params[iarg++]); c = *get_amxaddr(amx, params[iarg++]); while (c-- && *arg) *cptr++ = (cell)*arg++; *cptr = 0; } } return ((iarg - 2)>>1); }

I wonder if the old Extra Vegetables drivers work still with activation Key and programming instructions that made no sense whatsoever!!!

They are holding on to the API as long as possible. I do find it interesting Lutron getting involved especially being a private company, purchased Vimco in 2002, and now getting involved with SnapAV. Somethings going on.

For Sure! Embernet (Pre Zigbee Pro) was absolutely horrible; for AMX as well. We were actually the first C4 dealer in MI and have been around for 28 years and have suffered through embernet upgrades.I was suprised on a 10 min fix for a Z-Pro update! We still have a few out there but have roughly 250 C4 Clients..

I agree on the new line of dimmers and had great luck implementing the majority of fixtures using the Adaptive Phase device for the mass majority of CFL and non driver dependent LED fixtures due to purple like color change during dimming and not being able to dim to 0%. .I just wrapped up a 3 Panel Panelized C4 Lighting Control System with a mixture of adaptive phase and 0-10V modules. All worked out beautiful. Glad you got everything worked out!!

My spoligies and you seem quite savvy! I couldn't sleep, I actually remote into most of our companies projects nationwide from my home office systems due to illness. Sorry I couldn't be of help. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, I've been doing for 25+ years. Not sure what you mean in regards to the buttons? Please advise when you get time. Thanks! CR

Greetings All, Not sure how many out there know but Sonos teamed up with Lutron to make the Pico Remote able to control your sonos gear. I know its not worldly news but a little less bulky than having your phone in your pocket. Due to minimal buttons control is limited to VOL+/- Track+/- and oh and Mute! LOL CR

Did you resolve? CR

after 2.8 you need Win 7 preferably 10

what version of windows are you using

Snap bought HouseLogic BTW

build an i/o driver. I have one if you like....? CR

i agree, it really depends on the specific driver. Try buying the BiAmp and Kramer driver!! Was well over 5K. I wrote myself and saved organization a ton. If you are familiar with CCS, HTML and or C(+) you are golden. 2 Way drivers are another story due to lack of buffering and parsing data. That's what i have found at least. If anyone has an example id love to hear from you! Writing in UDP, HDDP and UPnP are mainly used for IP Controlled gear. If you Have RS-232/485 ability its a decent reliable option. CR

BTW, Mr. PAK got out while the getting was good.

I agree completely i must receive an an email daily on another firmware/software upgrade. I am a fan of PepWave and the larger Araknis with OvRc!! CR
