I have been asked to attend a site that we installed back in 2002, and last visited in 2006(!). It has a Crestron system installed that, among other things,  is controlling three Lutron Graphic Eye 3506s via a GRX over RS232.

The client wants me to change some scenes.

Originally (IIRC) the 3506s were programmed with Liaison, and then the Crestron just sent strings to recall scenes.

We no longer have the original Liaison files for the project (in fact it has been some years since I even used Liaison!). I seem to remember that Liaison allows you to go online and monitor and adjust scenes in real time and save them to the system, and obviously you can build a program from scratch off-site and upload when you get there, but....I don't remember if you can copy the project from the system to the laptop then save it for editing off site?

Ideally I would like to copy the program to the laptop, go away and make the major edits, then return to download to the system and tweak as appropriate.

Any Liaison users out there can confirm if this is possible or not?
What do you mean you wanted it on the other wall - couldn't you have mentioned this when we prewired?

Can't you just change the scene in the graphic eye and let the Crestron call up the same as it always has. I know in the older GEs you could save it directly in.

I started to do just this, but by using the online monitor function in Liaison. There are no Lutron keypads on site, just Crestron button panels, so everything has to be done from the plant room where the GEs are located.

I then found the "decompile" function in Liason which copies the program from the system to the laptop and then everything got much easier!
