[Hai-users] HLC on Crestron

[Dan Hoehnen]

Just to be sure, by HLC you are talking about the HAI UPB lighting products,
right?  If so, then it should be possible.  While I know I won't be a ton of
help here, we do this with AMX, so Crestron should be able to do it too.
With AMX, we can get the current status of a switch (on/off or current
brightness level), display this to the user and allow the user to control
the load (on/off, bright/dim).  We can also send LINK commands, which are
basically scenes.  It works quite well.  
 
One "gotcha" is that you need to be careful when providing real time
feedback when controlling a load.  For example, if the load ramp rate is set
to 3.8 seconds, after sending an ON command you'll need to wait 4 seconds
before requesting the status or else you will get back a value that is NOT
the final brightness level.

Subject: [Hai-users] HLC on Crestron


Hello,
 
anyone have experiance with HLC over Crestron ? We would like to integrate
our HLC system to a Crestron automation system and we would like to know
what are the possibilities of control.
 
I noticed a user being listed as Tony Golden and I beleive he could be the
author of a Crestron module for HAI. So Mr Golden, if this is really you, we
are currently working on a job with 17 HAI thermostat to be controlled on
Crestron and I am the designer of HAI system. Two programmers on our team
have already contacted you about that project (Antoine and Jaysun).
 
That being said, our programmers do not have any experiance with HLC and
Crestron and they are leaning to use Mr Golden Crestron module. They also
reported me that they have seen "units" in the Crestron program but our main
focus right now has been the thermostat not lighting.
 
Sorry for this long story but I would like to know if anyone knows what we
can do and what we cannot do with Crestron to control HLC system.
 
Thanks
 
Claude
