Employees returning to the office will have peace of mind with the new Crestron ONE app which will allow them to control their environment from their mobile device without the need to touch communal technologies.

Giving users a flawless mobile control experience from any personal device, the app aims to reduce the stress of returning to work while improving productivity.

The application provides wayfinding, room automation and content sharing abilities to employees’ own personal devices, facilitating touchless room management.

“At Crestron, it was time to bring intuitive functionality and simple room control into the workplace,” Crestron senior director, digital workplace products Daniel Jackson says.

“It is critical now more than ever to make the workplace as safe as possible to ensure that returning employees can utilise collaboration technology effectively and securely. This solution helps further our goal of offering Crestron customers a safe return to work during the global pandemic and beyond.”

The Crestron ONE app works with the Crestron TSW 60-Series touch screen through a direct Bluetooth connection without requiring devices to be on the same network. This ensures compliance with the customer’s global IT security standards.

Without any additional programming required, managers can easily configure the in-room experience to select the right controls for each space.

“We understand that companies are faced with myriad tasks and are working with a broad range of HR, real estate management and AV and IT support staff,” Crestron director product strategy AV and digital workplace Stijn Ooms says.

“Our team has worked diligently to bring the Crestron ONE mobile room control experience to market, delivering the highest standards of security and simplicity that we require from our mobile devices.”
