  • To add dimmable lighting loads to the system, use the 'HM Dimmable Light' driver.
  • To add switched lighting loads to the system, use the 'HM Non Dimmable Light' driver.
  • To use a relay with non-lighting loads, use the “HM Relay Interface” Driver which allows you to connect a Control4 Relay Driver so that it reflects in the correct place on a Navigator.
  • (Coming Soon) To use a keypad button from Crestron within Control4 you can use the “HM Keypad” Driver. Each button requires an address from Crestron. You can then bind these in connections or use them in programming.

Addressing:

  • The addressing in the above drivers needs to match the address in Crestron exactly. This should be a 4-digit number.

Driver Properties:

  • Inter-Command Delay – This is a delay inserted automatically in-between each command so that the Crestron System reads all the commands reliably.
  • TCP Port – this allows you to set the port number when using an IP connection to communicate with Crestron
  • Debug Mode – Set to print to troubleshoot the driver
  • Last Address Received – Will allow you to see the address received from Crestron so that you can copy it to the address property of the lighting drivers mentioned above.

Crestron Demo Program Guide:

  • The program uses a TCP/IP Client (already added) to talk to the Control4 system.
    • The client needs an address of 0.0.0.0
    • Port 1124
  • The Control4 driver 'HM_Crestron_Lighting.c4z' in Composer will get the IP address of the Crestron Processor in Connections – IP Connections if using IP. Otherwise just bind the RS232 connection from a Control4 controller to a Crestron Processor.
  • For each Dimmer, relay or motor controller add new required Cresnet device. Copy and paste the correct associated folder. Press F9 to simply change programming to match new Cresnet ID.
  • It is suggested to simply change logic to match new device ID no. Matching Control4 drivers can be found for dimmers, relays and motor control.
    • Dimmers: 'HM_Dimmable_Light.c4z'
    • Relays: 'HM_Non_Dim_Light.c4z'
    • Shade motors (DIN-2MC2): 'HM_Relay_Interface.c4z'
  • Address, which will be a four-digit number followed with the load no as a 2-digit value:
    • Example: Dimmer ID 10 Load 4 in Control4 will get an address of 1004
    • Example: Relay ID 21 Load 7 in control4 will get and address of 2107
    • Example: Shade ID 30 in Control4 gets address’s:
      • 3001 for Motor 1 Open
      • 3002 for Motor 1 Close
      • 3003 for Motor 1 Stop
      • 3004 for Motor 2 Open
      • 3005 for Motor 2 Close
      • 3006 for Motor 2 Stop

FAQ:

  • What communication connections can I use?
    • You can use either RS232 or TCP IP
    • Serial Setting 19200 8 1 N
  • Why was this driver created?
    • We had a few requests where Crestron lighting was in place, but the dealer wanted to change the front end to Control4. This allows you to easily bring the two together
  • What about the Crestron Modules?
    • There is a demo program included in the Driver Pack. This has its own set of help files to assist you in getting the Crestron side up and running. It will require the assistance of a very entry level Crestron Programmer.
    • Drivers only compatible with programming done in Crestron Simpl
    • Will require a Crestron Processor to remain in place. Tested with 2 and 3 Series Processors.
  • Is this a 2-Way driver?
    • Yes, it is. If the guidelines in the Crestron Demo Program are followed, any change to the Crestron Dimmer or Relay should feedback to Control4 right away
