I was just in a pub that used a Crestron system. What was cool was if you touched the main screen you had to enter a password to log into the system.

I was wondering how you could accomplish the same thing in an RTI remote?

In Intergration Designer software can you create a if then excute X scenario?

I would think you could create a macro that if you punched in three particular digits then jump to a different screen, but how would you make that happen?

Or could you create a hidden button located in a corner of the home screen that once you hold the hidden button for X number of seconds then jump to a different screen?

Is there a hold button vs tap option where you could just program a button and then hide that button in the main screen to do this?

simple way -
Multiple screens with a number pad
Hit the right number, move on to the next screen. Hit the wrong number move back to the first screen.
Because the screens are all the same, page flips go unnoticed. Someone trying hard enough could probably break the code but it would take a lot of attempts.
There are also ways to do this using flags I'm sure.

how would this work if you wanted a three digit access code?


You would need to punch in one number wait a number of seconds till the user punches in the second number and then punch in a third number and then execute a page jump. I still don't see how to do this?

I sent you an email. Has a demo file in it

I have done it before. You must create a macro on each correct button that sets a flag and page flips to the next page. All the wrong buttons don't set the flag. On the last digit of the last page the macro must check flags xyz and then give access by a page flip to the desired section and clear the flags. If flags xyz are not set then flip to an error message and clear all flags then link back to the first page to start over.

The easier way-->  Just put a 3 second press hold on one of the ten key buttons that takes you to the page you want, if it is held less than 3 seconds, or any other button is pressed it takes you to a big red page for 5 seconds that says code is not valid.

All you want is for patrons or others not to mess with it. if they  don't know what key or how long to press it, they cant get in, most people will think they have to enter a 4 digit code or something and give up right away rather than wait 5 seconds each time they try to press a number. This is simple and changing the main link button to a different button is easy.

(+1) I was going to say the same thing. I use 3 second button holds on some setup pages that contain buttons which I do not want the client pressing. The 3 seconds seems more like 5 before the flip/action.

How do you set a flag or a multi second press hold?

I am new to RTI but have programmed many other remotes over the years.

If you guys take the training it's gone over in detail. Also, there are training files on the dealer site that have test examples. It's very easy, all you need to do is set up flags and page jumps.

IMHO the first suggestion is the best.

You can create a 2 digit to 100 digit code just using page flips. No flags.

Its very easy.

Ten buttons on each page. All buttons link to page 1 except the correct digit in the series which jumps to the next page. The last correct button jumps to the Main Start page.

I'm gonna have to agree with SoundSD. I just setup something similar on a T2C. works like a charm, no need to worry about flags, can run on systems without an XP8.

If you want, you can put a reset button in a corner, put an animation on the reset button indicating you are starting over. You don't need the animation really. For the programmers we know what's going on in our heads as the program is running, but for the customers, its nice getting feedback. They really don't have any idea how it works.. they just push pretty buttons and things happen :).

The simple thing about page flips, if the client makes a mistake just remind him to press a number not used in the code and it will always bring him back to the "start" page.

I respectfully disagree.. was at a training in the uk, was good one but they don't go over ALL specific functions in details here. it's all pretty much basic. they showed the password demo file and that was about it.. luckily RC has some decent folks who are willing to help.
