Take full control of your home, boardroom, or classroom using the one device that goes with you everywhere. The Crestron® App turns your iPhone®, iPod touch®, iPad®, or Android® device into the ultimate mobile Crestron touch screen, enabling control of home theater and whole-house AV, boardroom and classroom multimedia, lighting, shades, climate control, security, and other systems from virtually anywhere. Advanced Smart Graphics® makes it easy to deliver a user experience that is both dynamic and intuitive using customizable gesture-driven controls, animated feedback, and rich metadata. Additional capabilities include viewing video from IP-based security cameras, communicating with other Crestron touch screens using Rava® SIP Intercom, and seamless integration with third-party apps.

The Crestron App is available for free download through the iTunes Store® or Google Play™.^[1] The full version is enabled without a separate download through in-app purchase. The Crestron App with Smart Graphics surpasses our popular Crestron Mobile® and Crestron Mobile Pro® apps to provide the new standard in mobile control for Apple® iOS® and Android devices. The Crestron App is compatible with 2-Series and 3-Series® control systems.^[2]

Note: The Apple Watch® is no longer supported.

Global Connectivity
Supporting Wi-Fi® and mobile broadband network connectivity, the Crestron App keeps you connected wherever you are. Even away from home you can turn lights on or off, let the repairman in, or check the security system to see if the kids are home. While you’re on your way, why not warm up the hot tub for your evening getaway? Whatever you need to control, Crestron lets you do it remotely as if you were there.

With Crestron, there are no extra charges or special servers required. The Crestron App communicates directly over the data network with your Crestron control system for a seamless mobile control experience. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) support helps ensure a secure data connection for worry-free remote access.^[3]

Smart Graphics®
Whatever you do with your smart device, you want the experience to be intuitive, reliable, and enjoyable. Smart Graphics provides your Crestron system installer with all the elements needed to create a thoroughly satisfying user interface, customized to meet your exact control needs. Smart Graphics includes a full set of scalable buttons, sliders, knobs, and gauges for controlling virtually any function with real-time feedback of audio settings, lighting levels, room temperature, and security system status. With Smart Graphics, you get toolbars and menus that scroll with momentum at the flick of a fingertip, giving you easy access to all your controlled devices, functions, and media content. Smart Graphics affords a look and feel that’s consistent with the mobile smart device experience, yet uniquely your own.

Other App Integration
To ensure a seamless control experience, the Crestron App allows other apps to be launched from within. For instance, after using the Crestron App to select a television source, you can open the TV service provider’s app to view the program guide, and then effortlessly resume controlling your complete home theater without having to relaunch the Crestron App.

Streaming Video ^[4]
View live motion video right from the Crestron App — the perfect way to keep an eye on your home while you’re away, see who's at the front door, or catch a glimpse of the baby's room. Video can be displayed in a window within the Crestron App, letting you see what’s going on while simultaneously communicating over the intercom and granting access to guests through a secured door or motorized gate. Native support for the H.264 and MJPEG formats allows the display of live video images from IP cameras and streaming encoders such as the Crestron CEN-NVS200 Network Video Streamer or DM-TXRX-100-STR HD Streaming Transmitter.^[5]

Rava® SIP Intercom
Rava SIP Intercom Technology enables hands-free wireless communication with other Rava-enabled touch screens, door stations, and mobile devices throughout a residence or workplace. Whether you’re on premises or away, you can use your smartphone to greet visitors at the front door, intercom with the kids in the game room, or send a page announcement to every room. Rava keeps you in touch, even when you’re far from home, allowing individuals to speak to you right from a Crestron touch screen at the press of a button.

PinPoint™ Proximity Detection
Crestron PinPoint Proximity Detection is an optional add-on to the Crestron App. Proximity detection enables your mobile device to always know what room it’s in, ensuring that the controls displayed are applicable to that room. With this feature enabled, there’s no need to manually select your current room from a menu — your device always knows where it’s at.^[6]
