Add Crestron Driver devices to the Crestron Home system to control devices that are manufactured by other companies. Crestron Drivers are used to add third-party devices to the Crestron Home system.

Create the Driver Project. The steps required to create a driver project differ depending on whether Visual Studio® 2019 or 2008 software is being used for your development environment. A driver will have its own SIMPL#Pro project using the SIMPL#Pro Library Template. Create a Visual Studio 2019 Project. Open Visual Studio software.

The devices displayed on the Drivers screen consist of Crestron Drivers that are downloaded from the Crestron Driver portal or side-loaded onto the Crestron Home processor.

To create, update, and delete Crestron Drivers, refer to Crestron Driver Devices.

NOTE: Only add devices with discrete on and off commands. If a device with an auto‑off timer is paired with the system, the device may turn itself off while the room remains on. When the room is powered off, the device will turn on and become out of sync with the room.

Crestron Driver

• Crestron Drivers The Crestron ® Drivers platform provides manufactures and developers with the means to develop and integrate drivers with supported Crestron hardware, including all 3‑Series® and 4-Series™ control systems, using popular communication protocols like IR, Serial, Ethernet and HDMI® (CEC).
• Crestron Home uses the 'Crestron Certified Driver' framework for device drivers which you could look at as a driver being block of a certain shape that will only fit into the hole of the corresponding shape in Crestron Home. So - displays have one shape, cable boxes have a different shape and some things simply don't have a shape at all.
