Ethernet Intersystem Communications (Crestron)

Version 5.1 by Mark Kohlmann on 2021/06/02 22:09

ShowRunner provides Ethernet Intersystem Communications interfaces for integration with 3rd party Crestron systems.

EISCs may be Classic, 3-Series, or Server/Client (VC-4) types
EISCs can have their IP-ID and IP Address of the remote changed at run-time without a program restart
An RSD file will be built for each EISC and a URL will be displayed on the touchscreen to retrieve it
There are 2 EISC modes and only one mode is supported on an EISC definition, multiple EISCs may be defined
- AV Integration
  - Provides a standardized interface for controlling areas
  - Area selection may be changed at run-time
  - AV Integration Demo
  - Signals Provided per Area (signals vary by Area settings/configuration):
    - Area Name
    - Occupied
    - Occupancy Enable/Disable
    - Color Temp Auto
    - Color Temp Manual Set and Feedback
    - Area Master Raise/Lower
    - Save Current Scene
    - Recall Scene # and Current Scene Feedback
    - Extended Scene Export option set
      - Scene Count
      - Scene Names
    - Load Count
    - Load Level Analogs
    - Load Names
    - Extended Load Export option set
      - CCT Load type: Color Temp
      - RGB[A|W]: Individual Color Channels
    - Shade Count
    - All Shade Open/Close
    - Shade Name
    - Shade Open/Close/Stop
    - Ignore Fade Times option set
      - Fade Times are not sent out, only final value. Reduces traffic.
- Device Export
  - Exports devices with specific signals for each device type
    - Occupancy Sensor
      - Occupied
      - Online Feedback
    - Keyswitch
      - Active Feedback
    - Partition Sensor
      - Combined Feedback
    - Keypad
      - Enable/Disable w/ Feedback
      - Button Press Event
      - Button Feedback Setting
      - Extended Keypad Export option set
        Button Tap/Double Tap/Held Events
    - Global Actions
      - Activate
    - Shade
      - Open/Close/Stop
    - Load
      - Level Set and Feedback
    - Photocell
      - Sensor Reading
    - Area
      - Scene Set and Feedback
  - Devices to be exported are defined in the configuration and are not changeable at run-tim

Note: Any changes to load hardware/scene quantity will require a regeneration of the EISC and will result in signal changes.
