Here is a simple example that demonstrates setting and getting join states using this module. Once the control processor has been programmed accordingly, you can communicate with it using the API as described below. This module works by connecting to an 'XPanel 2.0 Smart Graphics' symbol defined in a SIMPL Windows program. Pip install python-cipclient Usage and API This module is available throught the Python Package Index, and can be installed using the pip package-management system: Familiarity with and access to Crestron's development tools, processes and terminology are required to configure the control processor in a way that allows this module to be used. This is a Python-based socket client that facilitates communications with a Crestron control processor using the Crestron-over-IP (CIP) protocol.
