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

Hardware
43

Hello crestron user,

I also got a TSW-760 from the electronic scrap. But I cannot reset the device. It starts the maintenance mode, but when I click on “Delete all and reset”, the display reboots and starts again with an old view of a meeting room.

I’ve tried POE and POE+ adapters, but it’s always the same.

Is there any other way to reset the device or does anyone have a backup of the SD card of a reset device?

I would be very happy to hear from you - best regards

→ Update: Even when it still loads an old project I was able to connect to Webinterface. Very strange behaviour. But now I can test further :smiley:

Does anyone have access to the 1070 firmware?

Edit: Found It: https://crestrondevicefiles.blob.core.windows.net/70-series/production/firmware/manifest_x70_firmware.json

Any luck working out the authentication for the API?

46

No, I haven’t had any time to finish setting these up since not long after I wrote that.

I was debating just removing the auth altogether, since these aren’t really exposed.

47

I have both TSS/TWS, working the same.

I have a TSW-1060 that I’ve been testing for HA dashboards, and I love it so far.

One problem I’ve noticed though is that it seems to not be capable of any sort of video playback. When I try to view any of my cameras via the RTSP stream cards on my dashboards, or even via Srcrypted they just come up as a dark green square.

Wondering if anyone else has run into that or might have ideas for a fix?

49

My custom cards are not rendering, has anyone found a fix for this?

50

Same for me on TSW-1060 I picked up.

51

Ok, weirdly enough when I re-added the camera feed to the dashboard it now magically works.

52

I had to update to the newer firmware; that fixed the custom cards.

53

Ok updating the firmware fixed the card issue, but I have one more question. I want to create a service using the rest command interrogation to turn standby on and off, just wondering if anyone has done that successfully and willing to share code as I don’t know where to start

i noticed on my new tsw-1060, when i switched it to portrait , via ssh → LCDORIENTATION portrait

after it rebooted, the EMS app was gone (and only 3x apps , not the normal 15x or so)only the Crestron Default, Zoom and User Custom app were available as options).

once i changed it back to LANDSCAPE (via LCDORIENTATION LANDSCAPE ) then all the 15x or so apps showed up again (including the important EMS app).

BUT if while in landscape mode, you configure the ems app (reboot), then once you see your dashboard/url via ems, THEN via SSH changed it to portrait, once the unit reboots it will show the application as “user project” and the URL field (see screenshot):

so do be aware of this, if your messing with Portrait mode. (my ha dashboard does show up properly in portrait mode btw)

one question - does anyone know how to get the Room status led bar to light up (or control it at all)? like in the YT video, that guys video shows the led bar in green, constantly. On mine, it blinks red/green when you power up the unit (or if you unplug/replug the light bars USB). but other than that its always off
thanks

To all Owners of creston tablets I have done some digging and figured out that they support ssh, when ssh-ing into my wallpanel and running the command help, I discovered that basically every element of the panel is configurable via the terminal. The login for the panel is simply the login that you set when setting up the panel. So to control the panel I turned to one of my favorite HACS integrations SSH. After entering the ip of the panel as well as my login details the integration asks for the mac address, this can be found by going to the web interface of the panel, please note that the web interface formats the mac with periods separating the different parts of the MAC address instead of colons so you will have to change that. Here is my config for the ssh integration action buttons:

  • command: STANDBY
    name: Enter Standby
    icon: mdi:monitor-shimmer
  • command: STANDBY off
    name: Exit Standby
    icon: mdi:monitor-shimmer
  • command: BRIGHTNESS {{states(‘sensor.tablet_brightness’)}}
    name: Brightness
    icon: mdi:monitor-shimmer

FYI you can run help when sshed into the tablet to see all the commands possible as well as descriptions of what each one does.

thanks ironcrafter - i do think it is pretty widely known that SSH is supported on these units (and is important). but fyi, you must 1st make a user account and password, before ssh will allow you to login. also while you can use ssh to standby the screen, the issue i think many have is that the entire webpage (dashboard in our cases) is reloaded on wake up from standby. so the delay can be annoying (depending on your use case / needs)

also you will find ALOT more ssh commands (more than help shows) if you do: A<tab>
B <tab> and so on through the entire alaphabet
(must be caps, no space after the letter, and means literately press the tab key).

Hey! +1 to your question about how to get the light on!

58

thanks, It’s at least good to know that I’m not alone or there’s not something weird about my light bar setup as compared to the youtube guy’s video (which is very light on details / info).

I now have several crestron panels (about 10x of a mixture of: 1060, 770, and 1070, tss and tsw s) - i also have 3x lightbars, and for all 3x i can only get them to flash at power up, then they go off. (or if u unplug/replug the usb it will do the startup flashes again).
(have updated FWs on all).

i have tried several things (ssh cmds web gui cmds ect) to get them to come on, all without success. the only info i can report: it seems if you have the light bar connected at poe power up- frequently the web gui of the crestron will show under USB accessory: unknown device connected. (if you then un plug and re-plug the usb light bar, The webGUI will then correctly show correctly as; led light-bar connected). this has no impact on getting the lightbar to work though.

will update once i dig into this deeper (or maybe i should break this out to a new thread).

Hi just picked up a TWS-760 was hoping to find out how to update and get a homeassistant dash on it thanks

I have not yet sorted out which commands to issue in order to manipulate the state of the lightbar itself but in my various searching I did come across a post stating you need to use the POEPLUS command via ssh to provide power to the accessory…

This groups.io thread appears to have some good info for a starting point. One person mentions:

red: ‘setdigitaljoin 30025 1’ (0 to turn it off)

61

Minor update, I have confirmed the following commands do work:

Red Light
ON: setdigitaljoin 30025 1
OFF: setdigitaljoin 30025 0

Green Light
ON: setdigitaljoin 30026 1
OFF: setdigitaljoin 30026 0

Blue Light
ON: setdigitaljoin 30027 1
OFF: setdigitaljoin 30027 0

Unfortunately, I have not yet figured out which reserved analog join numbers are used for controlling the brightness of each color. If you have some time to poke at it, you can use the GETANALOGJOIN command. Based on the limited info I’ve been able to find, they are likely to be a 25xxx or 30xxx join number.

Additional note, the lightbars appear to persist state across reboots/power cycles. IMHO, this simplifies managing the panels a bit as I won’t need to watch or proactively check to see what the lightbar is doing, generally speaking…
