Crestron is releasing a wide array of features and support for partner manufacturers’ devices in the latest update to its Crestron Home platform at ISE 2020. It unlocks the full potential of a Creston smart home and can deliver a simpler and smarter user package.

Exemplifying the power of partnership, Crestron Home features support for standard control protocols, such as DALI and BACnet and partnerships with leading manufacturers, including 2N, CoolAutomation, Jandy, Pentair, Hayward, Sonos and Domotz.

Crestron Home works with products including Apple HomeKit devices, Amazon Alexa devices, Google Assistant virtual personal assistant and Sonos devices.

“We’re committed to applying the full force of our unparalleled engineering resources and expertise to make Crestron Home the best smart home experience in every way,” Crestron vice president of residential John Clancy says.

“In fact, we add an average of a dozen new features each month along with support for more and more partner manufacturers’ devices.”

Also debuting at ISE is the new MC4-R four-series control system which is designed to meet the needs of small-to-medium-sized homes and MDU installations. With added flexibility, the MC4-R is powered by PoE and has a full complement of built-in control ports and includes an infiNET EX wireless gateway.

Capable of controlling hundreds of devices, the MC4-R packs performance and security into a small, surface or rack-mountable package.
