If the initialization of panel takes much time (about 5 minutes)
The problem was the Intercom Module.
Remove the iPad running the iRidium from the intercom and it no longer freeze at startup
iRidium doesn't support an AMX intercom.
Support for TP5
Time limit for it create is undefined now.
Multiple AMX processor licensing
This system should work with two processor with different system number, even if they are on the same network. You can make the Site license work with both processors.
- If you have two panels, each of which connects to its own controller, then you will need 2 Site licenses (one for each processor). The panel connects to the licensed controller (by its IP), checks its serial number and works.
- If you have to set two panels connected to both processors at the same time, you cannot do it with TP4, but CAN do it with iRidium GUIEditor. The project configured to work with 2 processors need only one Site license (for one processor), the second one will work automaticly when the firstworks.
- If you just need a Device License then it doesn't matter what controller it connects to. The Device license is assigned to the ID of the control panel it works on.
Switching between Wi-Fi and 3G for AMX
1. If the project is created in TPDesign4, then for changing the connection settings you should use the command which is formed in TPDesign4 (Button Command Output) or can be sent to iRidium panels from the АМХ controller:
Syntax of the command for switching properties in TPDesign4: IR_PARAMETERS-<host>,<port>,<login>,<password>,<panel_id>
2. If the project is created in iRidium GUI Editor
then for changing the connection settings you can use the iRidium
Script command which is formed in the Script Editor tab of iRidium GUI
Editor.
Syntax of the command for switching properties in iRidium GUI Editor:
IR.GetDevice("AMX").SetParameters({Host: "<host>", Port: "<port>", DeviceID: "<panel_id>", Login: "<login>", Password: "<password>"});

Let’s say you have GC-100-12, and some RS232-Device is connected to the output Serial 2. RS232-Device has a set of commands described in the driver (in output Commands).
So in order to activate the command what should you write?
One GC-100-12 module consists of 3 transports (as it works with 3 different devices at a time):
- port 4998 – IR commands, system data, relay control
- port 4999 – Serial 1
- port 5000 – Serial 2
Thus, to refer to different ports, you will need to describe the device differently from the standard AV driver.
.Send command to GC:
IR.GetDevice("Global Cache").Send(['DATA'], <TRANSPORT ID>)
is 0, 1 or 2 - it is the number of TCP transport created by GC driver
0 = TCP transport on port 4998 (IR commands, system data, relays)
1 = TCP transport on port 4999 (Serial 1)
2 = TCP transport on port 5000 (Serial 2)
.Set command to GC:
IR.GetDevice("Global Cache").Set("COMMAND", "")
"COMMAND" have to be created on the GC output
Example 1 (.Send and .Set command to Serial output):
var device = IR.GetDevice("Global Cache"); IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_ONLINE , device, function() { device.Send(['POWER_ON', '\r\n'], 1); // to Serial 1 device.Send([0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x0D], 2); // to Serial 2 device.Set("POWER_ON", ""); // Command from the tree });
Example 2 (.Send IR command to IR Output):
var device = IR.GetDevice("Global Cache"); IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_ONLINE , device, function() { var command1 = 'sendir,1:1,1,36127,1,1,96,31,17,16,16,16,16,32,16,32,49,32,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,32,17,16,16,16,16,16,32,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,32,32,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,32,17,16,16,16,16,16,32,16,4624'; device.Send([command1,0x0D]); }IR command has a following syntax:
'sendir,<connectoraddress>,<ID>,<frequency>,<repeat>,<offset>,<command sequence>'see the iTach API for details
RECEIVE FEEDBACK
To receive the feedback from Global Cache with COM port and process it with JS, please use the construction:
IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_RECEIVE_TEXT, IR.GetDevice("Global Cache"), function(text, id) { if (id == 0) IR.Log("system data: "+ text); else if (id == 1) IR.Log("COM1 data: "+ text); else if (id == 2) IR.Log("COM2 data: "+ text); });
function (text, id)
text - the data received from equipment
id - is 0, 1 or 2, it is the number of TCP transport created by GC driver
0 = TCP transport on port 4998 (IR commands, system data, relays)
1 = TCP transport on port 4999 (Serial 1)
2 = TCP transport on port 5000 (Serial 2)
Send command to AV driver from Level or Edit-Box item
For example: $25,$50,$30,$31,xx where хх is a required volume level from 0 to 100 (in HEX format).
Another example is the ASCII string 'VALUE хх' where хх is also a required volume level from 0 to 100 (in DEC).
These values should be sent from Levels or Editbox (not from separate Buttons). It can be implemented with the help of iRidium script
Example:
function Level_ASCII() { var Packet = "VOLUME " + IR.GetItem("Page 1").GetItem("Item 6").Value + '\r\n'; IR.GetDevice("AV & Custom Systems (TCP)").Send([Packet]); };
- this function is called Level_ASCII. It can be activated with the help of the command Script Call (Level_ASCII) in the Release event of the Level item.
If your command includes a ASCII string and you should send a Value in ASCII format (for example: 'SET LEVEL XX',$0A), use this script:
// -------- to send a Volume Value from the Level var Msg = "SET LEVEL "; //This is the string with our command without volume value var Packet; IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_ITEM_RELEASE,IR.GetItem("Page 1").GetItem("Item 1"),function() //This event will be active when you release the level-button { Packet = Msg+IR.GetVariable("Drivers.GC-100-12:Serial 1.Volume").toString()+'\n'; //Here we add the volume value to our command //IR.Log("Sended message = "+Packet) IR.GetDevice("GC-100-12:Serial 1").Send([Packet]); //here we send the result string to device });
This commands takes the slider position at the moment of its release and writes VALUE xx \r\n inside the command and then send the complete command to the AV & Custom Systems (TCP) driver.
Forming commands in НЕХ works the same way but with the data converting from DEC to HEX. Please see the example.

IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_ONLINE , IR.GetDevice("GC-100-12:Serial 1"), function() { IR.GetDevice("DEVICE").Send(['SYSTEM CONNECT', '\r\n']); //IR.Log('online and sent'); });SendCommandIfDriverOnline.irpz

Global Cache IP2IR: problem with short commands sending
for the same one - also working with AMX devices right way. When I export codes from AMX IRL file using IRFile or Vert app, on following import do IRL file I can see, that HEX codes are OK - AMX IREdit app shows me warning, that I'm trying to import duplicate code - and it means, that are the same=OK. Discrete codes from remotecentral.com I alredy have in HEX format.
But, when I import these working HEX codes using iConvert to iRidium app, my codes are NOT WORKING with IP2IR unit... Of course, I'm using
the right method, described in manuals - one time with headers (replacing missing data - mod-addr,connaddr,repeatcount), one time
without headers (with setting: disable header = false). Only codes from GC IR database included with iRidium GUI app for SONY TV are working - but they are totally different from my, learned or downloaded from remotecentral.com and working codes!"
As I found out, problem is with Sony codes - they are too short. In GC I must repeat my code at least 2x and then it starts work. Problem is especially with Sony codes, I have confirmed this info also from Global Cache support. AMX devices send these codes by default for 0.5 second (if code is shorter,
AMX automatically repeats it), so there is difference in comparison with GC, which takes by default only one repetition and send it.
GC-100 & iTach Relay switching, triggering
You can use an item type "Trigger Button" with the value 0/1. Drag the relay command to the trigger buton with this options:
For old version of GC driver (V2.1 and older)
You can use the script module in the attachment to implement switching of GC-100 or iTach relay from the closed condition to the open one and back with the help of one button.
It monitors the current relay state and depending on it activates the command of relay closing or opening. In order to activate trigger switching you need to activate the option of monitoring the relay state and switching with the help of the ScriptCall function in macros editor. The function is assigned to the Button type graphic item.

If the physical remote pinned to Apple TV, you cannot control it from any other remote, the control from Global Cache doesn't work.
Can iridium software push a message to the HDL device if the alarm is on?
http://wiki2.iridiummobile.net/Working_with_Equipment#Notifications_about_System_Events
Control the HDL-BUS Pro via the Internet?
Any HDL module with the actual firmware supports different connection modes:
- Local (with the broadcast address like 255.255.255.255)
- Remote Server (when iRIdium connects to the HDL thrue the remote HDL server or directly via the internet)
Curtains control with HDL
A few days ago I installed the curtains controller from HDL, I had no problem with the installation or with the basic configuration, them go up, down and stop perfectly.
The questions are:
1) How can I setup a button to turn the shutter? The shutter rotate when the motor works in the direction opposite to the last movement for 2 seconds.
2) I can make a curtain opens, for example 40%, with the touch of one button? How do I configure this?
Better yet, I can control the shutter button with a level?
A:
1. Yes, You can use Macros Delay(2000) in Programming Tab or Scritps Command .Set for activate channel and IR.SetTimeout for Delay
2. can not be done
3. Yes, You can use Level Min = 0, Max = 2 and in Programming Tab send Value of Level in Send Token (Send to Driver Group Macros)
