SurgeX has released third-party control platform drivers for Crestron, Control4, and Extron to support the integration of its multi-functional Squid power management system into commercial and residential AV applications.

Squid offers a fresh, innovative approach for integrators, bringing together surge protection technology with remote analytics and power management into one unique, space-saving unit. The new drivers will allow Squid to be seamlessly integrated into the most popular control systems to deliver the full functionality of the product in a clear and accessible command structure.

This includes complete power management capabilities, such as, outlet switching, sequencing, scheduling, auto-ping, IP Control, as well as energy monitoring and status feedback.

SurgeX director of sales for EMEA, Justin Peyton says they are excited to bring the range of drivers to market to make life easier for integrators.

“Squid already provides a professional, intelligent and versatile power foundation that saves installation time and space by combining both AC and DC outlets with Multi-Stage surge protection, power conditioning, power management and analytical software. Now, it can be fully integrated to deliver its extensive feature-rich performance through the popular Crestron, Control4, and Extron platforms.”

The new drivers are available from the SurgeX website.
