Vantage Infusion Driver in 1.2?!

TrikinCurt

I fired up version 1.2 to check it out and found there was a driver for Vantage InFusion! Now maybe it has been there in other versions but it was news to me. The drawback, I can't seem to download the driver from the partner site - is there any way to get documentation for the driver? You may have saved me a lot of hours!

Whoops... It was my Cafe Duet file showing up in VA Back to work...

Is there a netlinx module for the InFusion available?

TrikinCurt

Nope. The good news is sending command to infusion is very easy. The bad news is writing a Duet module would really take some time.

Has this changed? I see there is no duet module listed in inConcert, but on the partner's page vantage is listed. It also has its own AMX certified logo, and on the right has "infusion" in the dynamic discovery list. Any one know if the infusion panels send out their own modules yet?

To my knowledge there is still no duet or netlinx module yet for the Vantage InFusion. The last I heard it was coming out in a month and that was about 4 months ago. If anone knows different I too would love to know.

what i think is funny is the whole auto discovery tag on the partners page. which leads you to believe that you're going to plug in a vantage controller and its going to upload the module for you, and from what everyone is saying there isnt even a module yet to pass out never mind code for.

There is a Duet module online now. It will need the latest version of Cafe Duet (1.9) to run though.

HAHA how awesome is that! Me and my boss finally got everything up and running, im like well i might as well check one last time. Its there.. what are the odds? The documentation has a few typo's and is a little well.. not right. But all and all its a big help.

The failed tranferts files are normal?

I got no error when I compiling yhe program but....

I send

BUTTON_EVENT [dvTPMain,101]
{
    PUSH:
    {
    SEND_COMMAND vdvLightSystem, '236,0'
    }
}

but the light still on ( it's not a light but a relay sceen control)

any cue?

troberts

This is the correct way to send a command, using the module:
SEND_COMMAND vdvVANTAGE,"'KEYPADSYSTEMBUTTONSTATE-143,PUSH'"

On a side note, AMX is revamping this module. Feedback does not currently work, so if you are using the current module don't expect to get feedback. I would be happy to send you an include file that controls buttons and gets LED feedback wether the light is on or off. If you have a large system you are better off writting your own module.

Also keep in mind despite what the help file says, the module does not send a STATUS ALL command to the Vantage system. You must send this command anytime the Vantage reboots to the Vantage.
