Any option to on/off Christie cp4230 projector from Doremi Dcp2000 Server via Automation cues commands.

Regards
ShibuPaul.

If the DCP2000 doesn't support those commands out of the box, you can still send a TCP or Serial command. Have you tried the standard Christie Serial API?

(PWR3) - Set the projector to standby mode
(PWR0) - Turn the projector ON and lamp OFF
(PWR1) - Turn the projector ON and lamp ON

Lamp on/off is fine, but turning the projector off is a BAD IDEA.

Once you put the projector into standby/off mode, the Doremi IMS will lose power. The main point here is you will be killing power to the Doremi IMS server without shutting it down properly.

With our Doremi DCP-2K4 + Christie CP2220 combination it works great.

You just need to add the projector as a raw device.

From the devices.xml:

<DeviceRaw>
<DeviceId>urn:uuid:27f89e81-65c3-4f34-95ab-3424d2d3afbb</DeviceId>
<DeviceName>Christie Remote Control</DeviceName>
<DeviceEnabled>1</DeviceEnabled>
<DeviceVendor>Christie</DeviceVendor>
<DeviceProduct>CP2220</DeviceProduct>
<Connection>
<InetAddr0>192.168.206.111</InetAddr0>
<Port>5000</Port>
<Protocol>tcp</Protocol>
</Connection>
</DeviceRaw>

From macros.xml:

<AutomationCueMacro>
<Name>PROJECTOR_POWER_OFF</Name>
<Id>urn:uuid:eaed9ad3-a29c-49d4-b258-ee280213542a</Id>
<CommandList>
<Command>
<Type>DeviceRawSendMessage</Type>
<DeviceName>Christie Remote Control</DeviceName>
<MessageType>text</MessageType>

</Command>
</CommandList>
</AutomationCueMacro>
<AutomationCueMacro>
<Name>PROJECTOR_POWER_ON</Name>
