that is correct , the xx7x series panels are newer hardware (latest gen actually), but latest FW is on version 2.x (not 3.x).
ie the tss-770 or the tsw-1070 (latest FW is 2.006.0054.001)
even though the older tss-1060 / tss-760 / tsw-1060 (latest FW is 3.002.1061.001)
I had similar results trying to get the screen to play an RTSP feed. It will attempt to start the stream, but never actually plays and if you look at the stats, it will tell you that it transferred 0 bytes. Tried with numerous streams of various resolutions. I found some forum posts that indicated to actually play the stream you need to pulse a digital register. I scanned for any register that would return a value, and it was in the thousands, so I donāt think Iām going to stumble upon the correct one.
I also failed trying to get it to play sounds, except for the built in test sound, it plays that.
@slevin22 - thanks for posting this! its great info! can you provide a bit more info please as i still cant get the led bar to light up - it still does flash during panel boot up, and then it goes off and stays off- (or it will flash red/green/red/green if i unplug and replug just the light bars usb), im testing this on 2x tsw-1060 each with its own led bar (so 2x led bars that show model num: TSW-1060-LB on the label, bc else i would assume something hardware is broken/wrong on my end ) ie:
EDIT / UPDATE: LED bar is working i was missing the command to turn on one of the 3x LEDs (ie to turn on red led): setdigitaljoin 30025 1
1- so you Definitely do have the led bar working right? (or are these just commands that should work theoretically?) - if so what model panel do you have and firmware version?
2- do you have EMS app running (ie showing your HA dashboard), while you run these commands for the LED bar? (or are they perhaps only working when you are in the panels crestron setup screen)
3- if you do have the LED bar working / on, can you please provide the output of this ssh command: ledbar (i show mine below) - i ask this as my output of ledbar never changes based on the SETANALOGJOINs , but will change if i issue command like: LEDBAR GREEN BRIGHT 40 (although none of it gets the led bar to light up)
i can get the Screen brightness command to work, ie this works instantly: SETANALOGJOIN 17201 65535 (LCD screen goes to 100% brightness)
SETANALOGJOIN 17201 35535 (LCD screen goes to ~50% brightness)
on the led bar, the commands seem to go through, but the led bar is always off (i have rebooted and power cycled a few times, and i have tried on 2x different POE+ switches);

Hey, Iāll answer your questions later when I get some time. I think your issue may be that you still have to run the digital join commands posted earlier in the thread to actually turn the led bar on.
In other words, digital join turns the output on and off. Analog join sets the brightness.
incase we never find a http API that allows setting analogjoin values, i made this rough bash script (with help of chatgpt) that will ssh into a panel and set R/G/B led values. ie so you can just run this command (or setup HA to call it):
./sendSSHcommandCrestron.sh -i 10.6.6.178 -r 50 -g 80 -b 40
(-i is ip of the crestron tss/tsw panel)
(you do have to hardcode you panels ssh creds into the top of the script)
note - this bash script is āinsecureā as i use sshpass , insecure in the sense that you have to hardcode your ssh user/pass into the script as variables (this is the only way currently to auth into these panels) - In most cases such as mine this isnāt a big deal as everything is local anyway.
I originally had a running three separate SSH command so it took longer however this one sets all three values in one ssh connection so itās quicker. (it also assumes that this has been set already - ie so the leds of the light bar are already āenabledā )
one quick note- i powered up another tss1070 for the first time, and it had a older firmware: 1.004.0046 , and it had sliders for a LED bar that im not showing on my newer firmware TSS1070ās - (ill still use my script above, but just wanted to post this data here before i update its firmware + incase others are interested in the API aspect)
here is the http POST after adjusting a few of the sliders and clicking save (note I pulled out all the cookie and auth related headers since they are redundant in this case ):
Any tricks to actually get the screen to hold to the light bar? I was thinking command strips but that seems like an adventure
in terms of mouting, if its a 770 or 1070 , i have always used one of the official crestron mounts (via ebay).
#1- my favorite is the: TSW-UMB-70
i was lucky to get 3x of them for about 60$ total on ebay. it squeezes / clamps the sheetrock , and assuming you are using a 1070 or 770, they have magnets builtinto the panels, so it snaps against it (and holds in place). i have NOT mounted any of my panels with a light bar yet though , but will be soon.
(see this great pdf quick start guide for it: https://www.crestron.com/getmedia/183bc9b5-6927-4fc7-8138-6095ebc16a9e/mg_qs_tsw-umb-70-tsw-umb-70-pmk-tsw-umb-570p-pmk
#2- this other wall mount below is from the 1060/760 series, and if using a 1070 or 770 panel (which is incorrect for this bracket) - it works, but is a little tight to push the panel into - it does hold great once in though).
im not sure what its called, but it looks like this (and i position it to screw part of this bracket into a stud, through the sheetrock.
(note ive never paid this price, always around 50$ or it came included on some panels ive bought from ebay)
#3- this is the newer version of the above brakcet, but will only fit the 1070 or 770 (as it uses the magnets from this model to hold the panel to the bracket):
Itās a fairly easy print (no supports), and does a good job simulating the metal bracket for US double-gang boxes. It might not work for European boxes.
The manual for the backlight shows this mount going through the middle of it it, and screwing straight into the boxes. I donāt have my backlights yet (just ordered some after all this discussion), but hopefully itās simple enough.
