Chowmain Software has released a new Android TV driver for Crestron Home that is designed to control Google Android TV boxes.

It is a software only solution with no extra hardware required.

This allows you to navigate the Android operating system and control applications as you would with a normal infra-red remote control.
The driver will also scan your device and provide a list of apps that can be launched directly, with no need to use the menu to find them anymore.
Features of the remote driver include:

• IP Control of your Android TV or Fire TV device, no additional hardware required.
• DPAD control for all your apps as well as the main interface
• Actions available for all the common commands

Features of the launcher driver include:

• Discovery of installed applications.
• Quick sorting including alphabetically by most used or just the favourite list.
• Set an application as a favourite to stick it to the top of the list.
• Ability to hide applications not commonly used.
• Applications installed or removed from your device will be updated shortly afterwards on the app (polling is set to one minute).
