sevendustweb Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 What determines whether a room is "on" or "off?" If 1 light out of 5 in a room is on, does C4 see the room as being "on"? If all the lights in a room are off but the tv is on, does C4 see the room as being "on?" Conversely, does C4 only see a room as being off only if all devices in the room are off?I am trying to set up my first "massive" lighting scene this weekend. I want it set so that during the week, at sunset, certain lights that are on downstairs are dimmed to a certain level. I am assuming I will need to set a variable for every light downstairs (so that C4 will know whether it is on or not. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevendustweb Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Another random question.... do users of HE have the ability to program how buttons on a certain remote control work, or can that only be done via Composer Pro? Same with the iOS devices.... when I click Watch, I get that standard watch screen with the red, yellow, green buttons, but they don't do anything. I want to see about changing that myself.

thecodeman Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Room on/off is only dictated by A/V. So if the TV or receiver, etc in the room is on, then the room is on. Lighting is independent. You can change the red, green , yellow, blue buttons with HE yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevendustweb Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 You can change the red, green , yellow, blue buttons with HE yourself.As for the touchscreens and iOS, can we actually label these buttons, or am I pushing into the realm of Crestron customization?Can you provide a very brief rundown of where I will find the remote in HE so that I can change the button functions? Will it appear under the device tree on the left side of the screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 in programming.........select the room, then select the commands......you will get a drop down of the remotes buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 No you can't relabel them.What you do is got to the ROOM itself on the left, and under commands find the appropriate command, then program as desired.Thus this programming is based on the ROOM, not the individual remote. Should you want you can make it depend on selected source etc using the proper IF commands (IF current selected device is [blu-Ray player]....)

sevendustweb Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Can we use a USB memory stick as external storage for an HC-800? I want to get screen savers and announcements set up. It seems logical to have that info stored on a memory stick rather than an external hard drive that will eat more energy. Also, does my dealer have to set it up, or would it be as simple as "plug and play?"thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyknight Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 So no, your dealer doesn't have to do it. Make sure the stick is formatted FAT32 (pretty standard) and plug it in. Wait a minute or two, and it should show up. If not, unplug and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
