I spent several hours today getting familiar with the new Crestron weather module. After several hours on the phone and farting around here in my office, I finally got it up and running. As a test, I put in my city long and lat coordinates and changed the temp display settings to Celcius. We speak Celsius up here..btw....Turns out the temperature here in Belleville, Ontario, Canada is minus 65525 Celcius...I can hardly believe we're still alive........LMAO What a freaking joke !!! I'm going to take a pic of the touchpanel and label it " This is how a Crestron Engineer converts Fahrenheit to Celcius"..LMAO

How long have you been programming Crestron?

I think it's a veiled way of saying you're incompetent.

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

No, Crestron modules rarely work 100% as advertised. Almost as if they're either not tested at all, or tested by someone who doesnt know what faults to look for. (5/9)(F-32) is hardly a complex formula, which points me to believe that the function just wasn't tested. Par for the course.
I am curious, did the module report the correct temp in F?

well...if your Farenheit temp was around 45.5 and the formula was entered in as all multiplication (5*9*45.5*32) that would just about give you that number. Seems like someone may have flubbed up the formula...

What a freaking joke !!! I'm going to take a pic of the touchpanel and label it " This is how a Crestron Engineer converts Fahrenheit to Celcius"..LMAO Crestron supports analog values in a simpl program from 0d to 65535d. What you are probably seeing is unformatted analog values used in the program for the Celcius temperature value. However, no matter how you slice it, it still sounds cold!!! ;-)

That would be about the right temp in Minnesota. Shhh...We aren't allowed to complain about the weather during a heat wave. Its going to be almost 8 C in MN today!

I had a good chuckle about it this morning with tech support. They have to send it back to engineering for the fix. Too many Canadians are dying from the cold so it's a high priority for them in Rockleigh...LMAO

Got am email from yahoo group and someone has already created a farenheit to celcius module, might be something to look at to get the fix that you need
|
You can't fix stupid |

I just took a pic of the module on a 6L....not only is it -65534 Celsius in Rockleigh but they're calling for lightning...LMAO.....
