1070 cost little more -)
I think ill try to print custom in wall box and add magnets, or just double sided velcro, not sure yet.

Online radio work on TSS/TWS without problems.
Does the app reload when coming out of standby for everyone else? These work pretty great so far in my testing except for 2 issues:
-
The brightness control is only high or low, rather than variable. This is a very minor issue, but would be nice to have a more refined experience.
-
If I enable standby (so the screen is off when not in use), it reloads the HA page when you tap on it. I donāt know why it would do this, and itās pretty frustrating because it triggers the reload right when you are about to tap on something.
The first one I can ignore, as it works well enough. I think the second is an issue when these are installed in a bedroom, because I canāt control the brightness level and using something like Wallpanel (the HACS frontend module, not the Android app) can only make the screen black, not turn out the backlight.
Also, it seems to persist in reloading using a white background, which is extra jarring.
I canāt find any controls to prevent it from reloading.
Yep, I not found way to auto dim brightness yet.
I donāt use standby mode because of reload after woke up.
For me ideal be dim brightness to 10% when not used and return to last settings if movement detected.
I have a lot more experimenting to do, and thereās an issue with getting authenticated, but the screenās API is pretty decent. Not everything is documented, but you can watch the RESTful commands when setting properties via the web UI.
For example, you can POST this data to /Device/DeviceOperations to make the screen enter standby:
{
"Device": {
"DeviceOperations": {
"EnterStandby": true
}
}
}
and this to wake the screen back up (not available from the UI, but I guessed on the command):
{
"Device": {
"DeviceOperations": {
"ExitStandby": true
}
}
}
It still reloads the content when using that command, but it might be worth it to put the screen to sleep manually based on time and wake it based on time for power saving. This could also be used as a hack to force the panel to reload.
There are similar commands to set the brightness level, or to set the automatic brightness levels.
This was just some basic experimenting I did tonight while getting ready for the North America eclipse tomorrow, so hopefully it inspires someone else to look into the API more.

Has anyone had any luck with a TWS-560p-b-s? Iāve upgraded the firmware as posted earlier but there doesnāt seem to be an option to browse to a URLā¦maybe Iām missing something. There is no option for EMS under Applications - Just User Project, Default, Home and Appspace.
Iād been keen on the āprogramā for the web browser if youāre willing to share. I want to create a dashboard in HA for my tsw-560p to control a couple of things
Hey Paul, I just tested a 560 non p and found the same, converted it to a p model using the text console command ālcdorientation portraitā and same thing in p mode.
I loaded my browser app to it, and I can browse some websites but I canāt get the HA login screen to workā¦ Might work with a less complex dashboard ?
I can end the vtz file when I get home !
P.s. the web browser program isnāt great, it will go back to crestron website on power loss

Ahhh damn! Okay, well thanks for trying it. Iām only planning on using it a simple dashboard with a couple of buttons for a light and some A/V related buttons (Projector on/off or run script etc.) so, maybe. Shoot it over when you get a chance and Iāll have a play. I just donāt have the programming software to make my ownā¦yet.
Like others, just picked up an old Crestron unit at recyclers. Anyone know if the TSW-750 uses the same firmware as above? There arenāt any projects or anything on the unit and I canāt seem to load anything to the panel without Crestron Toolbox. Just need a way to get it my HA dashboard URLā¦
Would love to get my hands on that project for running a URL if you have it. The panel I picked up doesnāt have anything I can load through the panel and the web GUI says access denied. I can however FTP to itā¦
Pm me and Iāll send you some files

The firmwares are here without paywall, you want a firmware for your xx50 unit
Just got a Crestron TSW-1060. But I donāt know what to do with it. Iām new to HA, just set it up as a Docker on my Qnap device. How do I get them to talk together? Thanks,
The Crestron panel is effectively and Android tablet, and weāre just pointing it to the HA website to show a dashboard.
Got the new firmware loaded. which App do I select to have it grab from HA. Thanks,
On the settings tab find Application and setup EMS and dashboard page for that device. Done.
I just started using a 1060 as a dashboard via the EMS app. So far, so good. Reloading on wake from sleeping state does force a reload (which is old-android-device slow as expected) so Iāve instead just let it run. It doesnāt really hurt anything, these panels are designed to be pretty reliable and if it quits, Iāll just get another $30 unit. I assume the camera and microphone on the panel itself are useless without an actual crestron program/processor?
To be clear, does TSS-1060 hardware work then for this solution or is it disabled / more limited than TSW-1060?
