Greetings,

Wondering if anyone has made any headway in implementing OBTP through a Crestron control?

Hi,

Would still be great to hear about any work that is being done regarding OBTP with Crestron.

Thanks,

HI Brian - This is possible, but takes some programming on the control system.

I found an email from David Bruun-Lie that describes the functionality:

"The C-series integration codecs are intended and designed for this purpose so yes this is feasible. Our own touch panel utilizes the same API as any integrator has access to. Thus there are NO limitations when using a 3rd party touch pad – apart from having to do all the work that we have already done on our touch pad :-)


The One Button to Push functionality that our touch pad uses is fairly simple:

* The bookings can be ready by issuing the API command “xcommand Bookings List”

* Every time the bookings list is updated an event “*e Event Bookings Updated” is reported on the API.

* There is no explicit “Start meeting” command. The model is that a control system/controller reads the OBTP  bookings list, including the information regarding how to join the meeting and then use this as input to the normal dial command on the API


The only tricky part in the current version of the OBTP API is that the codec will not give any notification itself regarding meetings about to start/end so that this has to be programmed in the external controller/touch pad."
