Task description:

Using Swisscom TV in small environments is rather easy, just connect all Swisscom TV boxes into the Swisscom router and you are ready to go.
Looking to larger installs, specially in the residential area, this setup structure is often not an option as the complete in-house network is managed by a IT company or it has a network structure which does not follow the Swisscom guidelines.

The Cisco Small Business line of switches works usually very well for residential installations, for Swisscom TV they need a special configuration.

As specifications can change, this howto may only be a guideline, is has no intention to be absolutely correct.

Environment:

• Swisscom router which connects to port 6 of the switch
• Swisscom TV box on port 7  and 8 of the switch
• VLAN 20 is used for all Swisscom TV data
• Cisco SG300-10, firmware 1.4.0.88 (or higher)
• IPv4 is used

Setup:

1. Log in to the switch and go to VLAN Management -> VLAN Settings, create a VLAN for the Swisscom devices
    
2. Assign the ports to the VLAN
   
   
3. Under Multicast -> Properties  activate Bridge Multicast Filtering Status and select the VLAN in the drop down. Activate for IPV4 the forwarding method IP Group Address
   
   
4. In Multicast -> IPv4 Multicast Configuration ->IGMP Snooping activate IGMP Snooping Status and IGMP Querier Status
    
5. Select VLAN 20 and hit Edit for additional settings
   
   
6. Multicast -> IPv4 Multicast Configuration -> IGMP VLAN Settings.
   Select the VLAN 20 and set accordingly
    
7.  If the switch still is flooded an additional setting can be done under Multicast – Unregistered Multicast.
   Activate filtering of all unregistered multicast.

Have you ever heard a Symetrix Radius or Edge combined with a ADA PTM-1645VC or a Lexicon DD-8?

Even though that combination  sounds good, its a breeze to combine them technically. No need to trigger over control systems, doing whatever programming.

ADA PTM-1645
Using this prebuild super-module for Symetrix Composer all PTM’s can be controlled from one serial port of a Symetrix unit. Setup instructions are inside the supermodule
Daisy Chain of PTM’s is supported.
Cabling: Symetrix RX goes to ADA ring, TX to tip, ground to ground

Download here (login needed)
PTM-1645VC Trigger

Lexicon DD-8
The DD-8 needs to be controlled over a single trigger, using one control output of a Symetrix unit.  All 4 zones of the DD-8 are supported, merged.
Setup instructions are inside the supermodule

DD-8 Trigger

The Koubachi sensor does not only work for plant monitoring, its also handy to bring values to C4 like  brightness and temperature. Be aware that the sensors are reporting back every 24 hours, so its not a real time application. Mainly the sensors are designed to measure soil moisture. combined with C4 an automated watering system can be designed.

http://www.koubachi.com/features/sensor?locale=en

To use it with C4 you need to take the following steps:

1. Order your Koubachi plant sensor
2. Open a Koubachi account at https://my.koubachi.com/ 
3. Register and set up your sensor, a good starting point is here: http://go.koubachi.com/
4. Do all settings that you have at least one plant and one sensor
   
5. Make sure your plant sensor is set up correctly. Take a note of the MAC
   
6. Enable the json API here: https://labs.koubachi.com/ Request the activation from the api, you will get confirmation email. Login and you can see under “Your Account” the “user_credentials” and the “app_key”. Take a note of them.
7. Add the custom lua functions driver to your C4 project. Download here
8. Add the config file into the path the custom lua function driver is displaying in Properties. Download here: GTASLCO4CULUFU_koubachi
9. Modify the file you just copied, insert the “user_credentials”, mac and “app_key” at the last 3 lines of the file, modify the existing values.
10. Go to custom lua functions driver and press “Load file” in Actions
11. Have a look in the programming section:
    
12. Have fun.
