Author Topic: House Lights Integration Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 11-10-2019 07:47 PM                     Like Steve said, if the JNIOR isn't set up with something that passes your commands through to the Lutron, I can't see how this is going to work. Although I'm pretty sure there will be some way to make the JNIOR work that way, this is usually not the way you want to use a JNIOR. Maybe Bruce could chime in and point you in the best direction, as my experience with JNIOR is somewhat limited. I generally don't like sending out passwords over macros, but like Steve indicated, Doremi's macro commands usually work fine with logins, as long as they're simple username and/or password strings and you provide a few 'waits' via \w. Sometimes it may even require more than one wait, depending on how long the operation takes. Keep in mind that: \r is a carriage return, the "enter for macs" \n is a newline, the "enter for UNIX" \r\n is a carriage return and newline, the "enter for Windows" Many systems expect a \n for an "enter", some do expect a "\r\n", a single \r often doesn't register as "enter". Check what your receiving end expects to end a command, otherwise it may be stuck in limbo, waiting for whatever timeout comes first.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 11-10-2019 08:37 PM                     The JNIORs offer a serial/Ethernet bridge mode. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Bruce Cloutier Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Gibsonia, PA, USA Registered: Aug 2016 posted 11-11-2019 08:12 AM                        Justin, give Kevin a call here at INTEG or email support[at]integpg.com. You really don't need to experiment with the JNIOR too long when we are happy to help you put it together. It is what we do. Not that we discourage DIY in any way. Steve, there is a stock application that opens a pass-through serial connection between a TCP port and the AUX serial port. If there is some login or other responses necessary we can write a quick application to do it. Kevin may already have a way to handle it. Justin, from the command line you can use the IOLOG -AO command to view the communications over that serial port. So if you send a string to the TCP port and then execute that command in a console session you should see what you sent. You can see both directions differentiated with the '-' characters. That can be very useful. Um... I am assuming that you are using a Series 4.  |  IP: Logged Justin DEntremont Film Handler Posts: 7 From: Campbellton, NB, Canada Registered: Jul 2018 posted 11-11-2019 02:54 PM                     Steve & Marcel: Like Bruce mentioned, the JNIOR has a built in feature which can act as a RawIP-to-Serial bridge. Steve: This is somewhat reassuring that you were able to directly control a GrafikEye using it's Ethernet module, as all the Lutron products use the same integration protocol. This would be the ideal setup for me. UPDATE: As I'm typing this post, connected directly via IP, I've tried adding the login info, separated by using \r\n which didn't help. I then added a \w between the commands. That didn't help. I tried taking out all the spaces in the command string, and using \w combined with \r\n and it worked! So for the written record, here's the string that worked: \wlutron\r\n\wintegration\r\n\w#OUTPUT,12,1,0,2\r\n Thanks Everyone!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Glad it all worked. Reading the Lutron integration book can make one dizzy...I just want to recall the flipping light presets!!!!! I'll often tell the other company...just give me a contact closure interface, I don't want to be part of your overly complex lighting system! Of course, the site were I'm talking to the Lutron...they have something like 14 lighting presets so contact closure would get to be a bit ridiculous. One nice thing about "figuring it out" is that you have it for future installations.  |  IP: Logged
