Cisco Touch 10 Action Button Macro (Crestron/Event)

[TillWenzhofer2017]

Hi to all,

i want to use a cisco touch 10 device to control some crestron devices. For most commands we use the touch 10 module available via Cisco Touch 10 Room Control v1.0 - Crestron Application Market in addition to some widgets (Buttons and Text). That's working fine.

The Problem is that i could not find a way to send commands to crestron with Action Button and macros. 

I need to

- send commands with action button and macro to crestron

- or trigger an button event on widget page with the action button and macros

Do you have any idea to fix this problem? 

Thank you very much!

It is about Air Media Action Button.

Were you able to make this work?

Hi Philip,
it is now working fine with this solution: We added an http-server on the crestron control system listening on specific http-port. At successful connection the crestron ist doing some commands and functions. We just added the following macro behind the action button on cisco panel to connect to the server:

//Basic Code
const xapi = require('xapi');
const api_header = 'Content-Type: application/json';
const HTTP_TIMEOUT = 1;
const data = 'request';

//HTTP Request
//Enter ip adress of crestron control system
function sendrequest() {
var url = 'http://111.222.333.444:5001';
console.log(url);
return xapi.command('HttpClient Get', {
'Url': url,
'Header': api_header,
'Timeout': HTTP_TIMEOUT,
}
).catch(e => console.error('HTTP Command error or Server not reachable'));

}

//Event Listener Action Button AirMedia
xapi.event.on('UserInterface Extensions Panel Clicked', (event) => {
if(event.PanelId === 'cisco_btn_airmedia'){
console.log('Button AIRMEDIA pressed');
sendrequest();
}
});
