Crestron TSW 1060. POE HA dash for $30. Firmware

First off i would like to thank all of you for the work done on this panel. I acquired one of these panels from work and have successfully added it to my HA. My only question is has someone found a way to keep the panel from going to sleep? I saw someone ask and i didn’t see a direct reply and if they did i missed it. Thanks in advanced

You can disable it in settings.
check if you have newest firmware.

i am on the newest firmware. i set the timout to 0 and it stopped going to sleep

Yep, what I mean.

Has anyone found a way to prevent the panel from reloading the page after waking from standby?

Use “AUTOBRIGHTNESS CRESTRON” in ssh to enable the web brightness settings to behave as expected. “AUTOBRIGHTNESS FRAMEWORK” to revert to Android brightness control. More info here on the last page: https://www.crestron.com/release_notes/tsw-xx70_1.005.0005.001_release_notes.pdf#page19

That’s cool. Sadly it only works for the x70 series devices.

ok so I think this is the solution I’m looking for. But what’s the difference between TSS and TSW 1060 series?

I don’t think there is a TSS-1060, I think its called a TSS-10 but it is the same hardware.

Hah I ordered what was said to be a Crestron TSS-1060/1060-B-S W with light bar,but it looks like they sent Crestron TSW-1060-LB-B, so no complaints

now the fun begins! (I have no clue what to do next)

So I take it that I need to change the application from Robin to EMS and point it to my HA server?

Yes. On the first few messages in that topic I put how-to.

Now that I have one in front of me the top messages make sense. I’ve got to read the thread and try out and test some of the discoveries. I’m a noob at this so it’s going to be a challenge.

Just do not rush.
That devices pretty noob proof.

I’ve been able to get adb working on a TSS-770 using the firmware I mentioned earlier. Installed the Home Assistant app but it crashes on startup - I think the web view needs updating, but I can’t seem to be able to get the root partition mounted as writable.

I was able to get it remounted rw using something like

mount -o remount,rw /system

If I remember correctly

You can probably use the method I detailed earlier to get root adb on any firmware though, I don’t have an xx70 to test:

It’s the root partition that needs remounting on this model - it responds with ‘/dev/root’ is readonly when trying to remount. There is no separate /system partition. I did manage to get the System Web View etc installed via the /vendor/app folder, but not sure why; the HA app still crashes on startup with a NullPointerException that I can’t quite track down. adb does work as root and its easy to get a root shell.

The main benefit of the HA app would be being able to set a larger font size - the default HA font sizes are tiny on this screen, unusable really.
