Is this the 5500NAC/SHAC manufacturer?

I came across this website, which appears to be a manufacturer of building management controllers which appear identical to the 5500NAC/SHAC and I suspect this is where Clipsal sourced the product, or at least the software.

This was linked from the open source project Flashsys, which is the interface software used in the NAC/SHAC (see https://www.openhub.net/p/flashsys).

The manufacturer website has a heap of examples of configuration and programming for Modbus devices and everything else you would want at this link http://openrb.com/scripting/ and appears to be identical in every respect to the NAC/SHAC for scripting, etc.

I am hoping that the fact their devices also have modules and apps for connecting to Google Home and Siri means these are a native possibility for NAC/SHAC.

In case nobody else has found this, I am hoping that other may be able to find more information on this site which is useful to all of us?? There is also a LUA forum at https://forum.logicmachine.net/ which looks helpful.

Apologies if this is well known already to you all...

 

Confirmed that Logic Machine provide the 5500NAC/SHAC to Clipsal on OEM basis.

There are lots of other integrations possible and already achieved with this device, including apps able to be downloaded. Not sure how well they would work with this variant, but will start experimenting.

 

Interesting read. I see that MQTT is supported when certain packages are added. I wonder if they can be added to the SHAC thus enabling C-Bus to MQTT

 

MQTT is already supported and libraries built in. There is another thread about this.

 

Fair enough - that is very helpful. The real benefit is the wealth of LUA Code examples and Visualisation templates, etc which are available. This will help all of us accelerate the use of the local devices.

Good to know there is a broader community using this similar software also.

Certainly looks like a good choice for Clipsal/Schneider to use this software. I am trying to determine if any of the other modules can be utilised for Bluetooth integration and Google Voice/Siri, etc.

 

I worked with the guys at openrb when updating my Wiser app, so that it included support for Logic machine.

WOW - What a wealth of information.... why has this been hidden for so long and kept a trade secret....

That forum over there https://forum.logicmachine.net/ has posts going back years with just a wealth of information... I have been struggling here for 6 months and could not move forward - was getting so disappointed about the SHAC... Until you found this site... The admin on that forum, gives you code examples within an hour to help with your problem - he is a master !!!

It has given me renewed interest and the thought that the SHAC is indeed a very power machine... A few people here said that things I wanted to do couldn't be done... well I have read posts in that forum that just contradicts all that...

I am in love with my SHAC Again.... I will post things I find as valuable to save you spending a whole weekend reading every post, which is what I have just done!!!

{Already I have solved my BOM Radar issue, restored some Touch Screen functionality that I missed - automatically returning to the main screen after no activity... I can see how to replace the Alert screen popup with a graphic image, and create auto scrolling RSS type feeds... Its all possible - I just need time!)

 

Hey Guys

I've had a CTC running for 10 years and it's developed a lockup/freeze problem +/-45 secs mins after booting, and I'm therefore looking at replacing it with a 5500SHAC, as I'm getting sick and tired of rebooting it to turn a light on.

Looking at the LogicMachine examples: https://openrb.com/all-examples/ I see that there is a way to connect (or open) a SIP intercom app.

Anyone got this to work with the 5500SHAC ?

 

Hi Rob,
Arbor Australia originally designed and built the colour touch screens for Clipsal, the symptom you describe is possibly caused by a Memory error if it's a CTC1,2 or 3 colour touch screen. Feel free to contact me directly and we can discuss possible solutions for you.

Best Regards and have a great day,
