Change Your Apple iPad into a Crestron Touchpanel

Owners of a Crestron digital home management system can now use their iPad as a Crestron Touchpanel at home or from out of the home.  Using the latest wireless technology the Crestron Mobile Application allows you to access and manage your in home appliances from over the web.  The Apple tablet screen provides real-time control of your Crestron AV systems, lighting, shades, room temperature and any other area of your Crestron system.

Using an existing EDGE cellular network, 3G, Wi-Fi or 3GS the iPad communicate seamlessly with your Crestron systems from anywhere.  The same service is also available on the the iPhone® and iPod touch®. I think this is a further step to establish Apple as part of the connected home. The Crestron Mobile Apps are available as a download from the iTunes App Store.
