    Somfy blinds, serial connections and parity bits

    Oops.  Sorry for wasting your time on this.  I in fact have the Universal one you mention.   I still wish outgoing serial messages could be LONGER for controlling devices.    Thanks for taking the time to set me straight on the Somfy issue though!

    Somfy blinds, serial connections and parity bits

    Did you ever get a solution?  I'm about to tackle this same project.   I just did a similar one sending serial messages to an ELK voice board that has 400 words it can output.  Had to break the message into THREE pieces, including the "^M^J" at the end of the third piece.   Such a capable...

    Omni insert delay between outgoing serial commands?

    Still no luck on this.  frustrating.  If I send three sounds sometimes I hear one, two or three.  I can't predict.  anyone?  I really wish there was an easy "Delay 0.5 seconds" command to put in the program!

    OmniPro II and IP cameras

    Old thread I know.  But I'm having the same problem with no success.   With VLC I can access the stream as follows   rtsp://user:pass@IPADDRESS:554//Streaming/Channels/1   in pc access I put in   rtsp://IPADDRESS:554//Streaming/Channels/1      and the user and password in the fields   But when I...

    Omni insert delay between outgoing serial commands?

    I'm sending out ASCII strings via serial port to an Elk MV-480 board.   Each message is like 22 characters, longer than allowed message in Omnipro, So I split each into 3 omni messages.  "start" with fixed first part of message" "variable part" which differs based on which word is to be spoken...

    multiple sound annunciator/output module from OmniPro II?

    what is the  name (or maybe the number/) of that HAI board?  I find the "Two-Way Audio/Voice Alarm Module" but that seems to serve a different purpose?

    multiple sound annunciator/output module from OmniPro II?

    Thanks.  didn't know about that board.  but if I can't upload custom sounds (if not a library of chimes etc) that would be less ideal for me   was looking at: ELK-MV480   and serial port control.  Anyone know a reason that wouldn't work?   No time for arduino project but would love to someday!

    multiple sound annunciator/output module from OmniPro II?

    Looking for a flexible module that I could use for different sounds for 3 doorbell and 2 or more driveway sensors, to be driven by omnipro II.   Any suggestions?  Could use 5 outputs from HAI if it had discreet inputs, but serial control I'm imagining would be more flexible without losing the...

    Haiku Haiku is now Space, available shortly!

    I think I'd prefer Space for a wall-mounted console with its simplistic look.  But for phone power user, I'll stick with Haiku, hope they keep it around.

    Haiku Haiku is now Space, available shortly!

      Ha; I missed that.  I guess I didn't read the instructions but I never do :)  I was thinking "there aren't many options on this home page" but never thought to swipe to look for more options because it looked like if there were more options they certainly would have fit on the fairly empty...

    Haiku Haiku is now Space, available shortly!

    It's pretty in its minimalism but I agree, will take some getting used to.  I like the information overload look of Haiku, I hope it's still supported while Space evolves.   I like to be able to see all the thermostats in one list.  I guess I could create a "room" that's just all the...

    Omnistat2 / Omnitouch 5.7e customization question/feature request

    Maybe this has been modified in an omnitouch update. but it seems like the omnitouch could be smarter in how it handles thermostats in one case. Specifically, my omnistat2 is set up as "heat only" (hooked to a boiler). Thank goodness, it is smart enough to no longer show a "cool" setpoint on...
