Hi there.
Subj out of service Feb 2024 and start pop-up on eBay and locar recyclers sites with price around 30-40 US dollars: pretty nice price for POE powered 10.1 inch HA dashboard.
I bought one from eBay to test it for $30 and found way to use it like dashboard.
How-to:
Connect POE and reset it: on the back you have reset button, press it every time you see Crestron logo on screen (10 times total), after that reset to default.
After device booting up, figure out IP and go to settings screen. Setup password. Play with settings:-)
On the settings tab find Application and setup EMS and dashboard page for that device. Done.
Firmware version 2.X not working with HA.
Just check it.
SD cards inside 4gB, 64 GB working.figure out it hard way:
Bought device from local recyclers ($25) and itâs not boot. Clone SD card (4gB) from my working one to brand new Samsung endurance 64gB and itâs boots.
But not load dashboard. Only one difference: older firmware.
Actually my devices have different hardware inside.
One have camera and micâs, other have not.
TSS is a schedulng only panel, TSW can run other âappsâ that crestron decides, thus the TSS is usually cheaper as its limited by software. EMS is a scheduling app so its available on both.
I have a crestron âprogramâ written that is simply a web browser, I was using this to run my dashboard because I never even heard of EMS and didnt know it would do the same thing. But my program could be useful to anybody that does not have the EMS app, or wants a browser with an address bar. I can share it later if interest.
The camera and mic are not accessible to the browser, shame
But the TSW series have got stereo speakers which sound decent for a panel.
I wish there was a way to send them media (think media_player) without using browsermodâŚ
I dont have any panels handy with the busylight (green light in the above video) but if there was a way to control that via HA that would be sick as.
Ill ask my crestron programmer buddy if he could add simple HTTP API to my browser program, that would be neat.
Its smooth enough! It handles camera streams well, responds well, its not as touch sensitive to small areas as a traditional android tablet, potentially as its designed to be more durable and have large UI elements ?
TSS and TSW both use same firmware file.
Model you can found on the back.
I have one TSS (with camera and mic) and one TSW.
Both of them have stereo speaker.
$30, 4-7W power consumption, working with HA in kiosk mode without anything, End of support FEB 2024 - looks like itâs my favorite dashboard device nowâŚ
just a cutout and some command velco strips. You can probably make a DIY mount out of steel or something, the official one âholds onâ with magnets in the back of the panel.
I can see if I can save them if I see them going to trashâŚ
There is a table mount too but its not pretty in my opinion. the 1070 table version is prettier.
