The Updated myCrestron Portal: A Revolution in Productivity [Crestron Electronics, Inc.] (2024)

The New Features

Version 1.029 includes:

• The ability to upload and download diagnostic files
• Effortless integration of thermostats and temperature sensors (and simplified climate scenes)
• Support for occupancy and motion sensors
• Advanced device settings
• The ability to copy and paste device settings

Upload and Download Diagnostic Files

One of the standout new features of the myCrestron portal is its ability to upload and download diagnostic files. Dealers can now easily upload processor diagnostic logs, including error, activity, and commissioning logs, as well as current configurations. These logs provide valuable insights into system performance, facilitating proactive maintenance and troubleshooting. Additionally, the ability to download these logs from the portal streamlines the backup process and ensures data integrity.

Thermostats, Temperature Sensors, and Climate Scenes

With the updated myCrestron portal, dealers can now effortlessly incorporate thermostats and temperature sensors into their projects right from the cloud. These devices can be added directly in the Equipment Tab, enabling precise control over HVAC systems. Dealers can set schedules for each thermostat, ensuring optimal comfort and energy efficiency. Furthermore, the integration of remote temperature sensors enhances the system's ability to provide accurate climate control in different areas of a residence. Dealers can now create climate scenes that utilize these thermostats, offering homeowners a seamless and personalized environment without a visit to the site.

Occupancy and Motion Sensors

The myCrestron portal now supports the addition of occupancy and motion sensors in the Equipment Tab. Dealers can leverage these sensors to trigger lighting, shading, and climate scenes. This functionality enhances energy efficiency by automating system responses based on room occupancy, ultimately providing a more convenient and sustainable user experience.

Advanced Settings for Devices

Dealers can now access and configure advanced device settings directly within the Equipment Tab of the myCrestron portal. This streamlines the configuration process, eliminating the need for multiple tools and simplifying device setup. Dealers can conveniently view and modify a wide range of device settings, ensuring optimal performance and customization.

Copy and Paste Device Settings

To further expedite configuration, the myCrestron portal enables dealers to copy settings from one device and paste them onto another device of the same type. This feature significantly reduces setup time, especially when configuring multiple devices with similar settings. Dealers can easily replicate configurations, minimizing errors and — again — increasing productivity.

“The myCrestron portal's latest update marks a significant milestone in the evolution of our cloud-based platform,” says Short. “The myCrestron portal offers a comprehensive suite of tools that optimize control and automation and by embracing this powerful cloud configurator, dealers can enhance their productivity, provide superior customer experiences, and continue to position themselves as leaders in the smart home industry.

“After all, a system that needs fewer visits to the client’s home doesn’t just improve your bottom line — it makes for much happier homeowners, too.”
