CRESTRON INTEGRATION

[Anonymous user]

Hi every one Hope all are doing good. I am Suyog from India in one of my project i am integrating Crestron with C-Bus.I am able to control all the relay and dimmer modules through Crestron App but facing problem with C-bus fan module and curtain module.As in Crestron i can control a group address but when it comes for curtain module  i have one group address due to which i am just able to control open and close of the curtain, how can i get a stop command on the Crestron app.Same is the problem with fan module also i can controlON/OFF only no medium or low speed can be controlled through Crestron..

Did any one else face the same issue, kindly support ....

Shutter/Curtain Controller:

There are 3 recommended ways to control a Curtain controller on C-Bus.

• 1 button control:

          Toggle, send a message to C-Bus to set the group address to 98%

          This will cause the curtain controller to change direction, a subsequent press will cause it to stop

• 2 button control

          Open/Stop, send a message to C-Bus to set the group address to 99%

          Close/Stop, send a message to C-Bus to set the group address to 1%

• 3 button control:

          Open, send a message to C-Bus to set the group address to 100% (on)

          Close, send a message to C-Bus to set the group address to 0% (off)

          Stop, send a message to C-Bus to set the group address to 2%

From your description I assume you are sending an on & off message, this will cause the curtain controller to open fully, and close fully.

Adding another button to crestron screen to send a command to go to 2% will cause the curtain to stop.

Fan Controller:

When configuring the fan controller in Toolkit you can select the number of speeds:

• 1 speed (off, high)
• 2 speed (off, medium, high)
• 3 speed (off, low, medium, high)

After selecting the number of speeds you can set the lighting level threshold between each speed.

By default, the thresholds for a 3 speed fan controller are 34% and 67%.

If the lighting group address is set to 0% the fan will be off.

If the lighting group address is set to any level from 1% & 33% the low fan speed will be set, from 34% & 66% is medium fan speed, 67% and above it high fan speed.

From your description I assume you have a lighting on and off button.

Adding another 2 buttons will provide the low and medium fan speeds.

I recommend the low button set the lighting group to 25%, and the medium button set the lighting group to 50%.
