Hi all,

I was wounding if there is a way to initiate a panel jump from Girder. The reason that I am looking for this is:

I have a button called Watch TV and it sends an Internet Event to Girder. Then Girder turns all my equipment on and also doing some checks to see if the amp is on or off and so on. I would like to show a new panel that will say something like "Turning Equipment on. Please wait a second" and when all the macros are done, girder will send a command to NR and tell it to jump to let's say TV: Main Panel.

Is that possible?

Thanks,
Tal

From girder use:
NetRemote.JumpHome('panel name');
--or
NetRemote.JumpDevice('device name','panel name');


To do this with lua within NR itself use the above but replace 'Jump' with 'Go'.

That's how I think it works and I never understood why they are different. maybe someone can enlighten me.

JLee,

The code works but I have one issue with this method. When I execute the Girder command to switch to a specific Panel, it will switch all my NR clients. Is there a way to send the Girder command to a specific NR Client?

Thanks,
Tal

There was some stuff that Gavin was working on to direct the info to a specific client, but I do not believe it was completed.
