01 May 09 Crestron Mobile for iPhones Now Available

iPhone owners get a new app to check out at the Apple app store with the launch of the Crestron Mobile for the iPhone. An intuitive graphical interface enables seamless control and management of climate, lighting, shades and security systems. View room and device status and adjust control features remotely from any location via the 3G or Edge cellular network (or Wi-Fi, where available).

Crestron Mobile on the iPhone talks directly to the lighting control system without any third-party software or external servers from anywhere in the world in real-time. (A control module is required for communication, and must be uploaded to the Crestron control system the by an authorized dealer.) Any updates or changes to the control program are automatically sent to the iPhone when the app is launched, and new locations are easily added by opening the “Connections” page on the iPhone. Crestron Mobile is compatible with the original iPhone, iPhone 3G and the iPod touch.

For the installer, Crestron Mobile for iPhone is fully integrated with Crestron programming software including SystemBuilder, VT Pro-e and SIMPL. The app appears as a symbol in the Crestron data library, which can be dragged and dropped into the control program and uploaded to a Crestron 2-Series control system. Custom GUI designs and program settings are implemented exactly the same as any other control module at no cost.
