Crestron CNXHUB – Crestron Home Hub

Product Overview

The Crestron CNXHUB is a compact smart home and commercial space automation hub running the Crestron Home operating system, designed for residential installations and light commercial deployments requiring unified lighting, HVAC, AV, shade, and security control from a single hub without the configuration complexity of a full SIMPL-programmed Crestron 4-Series processor. The CNXHUB is configured using the Crestron Home setup app — a graphical UI-based configuration tool that does not require programming or a certified Crestron programmer — making it suitable for dealer-configured residential and light commercial Crestron Home deployments at a more accessible integration cost than SIMPL-programmed systems.

Product Description

The Crestron Home platform and CNXHUB hub address the residential and light commercial control market segment where the power of the Crestron 4-Series ecosystem is desired — Cresnet device compatibility, Lutron lighting integration, HVAC control, audio distribution, and AV source control — without the custom SIMPL programming that full Crestron commercial systems require. Crestron dealers configure the CNXHUB using the Crestron Home setup app on a tablet or PC, selecting devices from a library of pre-built drivers and configuring scenes, schedules, and automation triggers through a graphical interface. The resulting system controls Cresnet-connected keypads, lighting devices, shade motors, and thermostats alongside IP-controlled AV equipment, and presents room control interfaces on Crestron TSW touch screens, iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. For commercial spaces, the CNXHUB suits conference rooms, executive offices, and small commercial environments where unified lighting, AV, and HVAC control is required without the complexity and cost of a full SIMPL-programmed Crestron deployment.
