Crestron Home OS 4.11: Configure Pro Is Now the Standard

Every Crestron Home® OS update moves the platform forward, often for both the homeowner and the dealer. Some updates add hardware support, while some sharpen the user experience or refine the aesthetics and functionality of the interface.

This one marks a turning point.

With this update — Crestron Home OS 4.11 — Configure Pro software is officially live, and it’s now the primary configuration tool for every Crestron Home OS project, everywhere in the world.

As Crestron’s Senior Director of Product Management for Software Platforms Doug Jacobson noted in a video introducing the platform:

Configure Pro is a clean and modern app built from the ground up that runs natively on Windows and Mac. As a native application, it comes with the responsiveness and the shortcuts you'd expect. For example, you can copy and paste text into and out of the app just about anywhere. And for the places where we expect copying text will be most common, we've added handy shortcut buttons. Abundant hyperlinks make it fast and intuitive to bounce from place to place in the app, or even to jump directly to a web browser to connect to a device's web interface.

Despite being brand new, many aspects of Configure Pro will be familiar to veterans of Crestron Home. It's familiar yet better in every way. A step-by-step process guides you through configuring a new system, ensuring a solid foundation on which to build out the rest of your project.

Configure Pro: Built by the People Who Use It

Configure Pro has been in the beta phase of development for almost a year. Since the Crestron early access program launched, hundreds of dealers have been inside the platform every day, configuring real systems, flagging friction points, and feeding that experience directly back to the product team.

As Ben Goers, an early access dealer and owner of the firm Lava Integrated Technologies notes in the blog post announcing Configure Pro’s official release: “There was a great line of communication established throughout the entire beta process. I genuinely felt like we were being listened to. Being able to contribute to an end product that helps all of us as dealers is something I really value.” That end product is a tool that reflects how professional installers actually work. It’s a fundamentally faster and more consistent way to deliver a Crestron Home OS project.

That aforementioned blog post gives you the full story on the development of Configure Pro software, including the platform’s improved design, its robust features, and the dealer feedback that shaped it. “If you’re a Crestron Home OS dealer, that post is an absolute must-read,” says Michael Short, VP of marketing operations and residential at Crestron.
