Crestron HZ2-AUX-BR-BRASS – Horizon 2 Multiway Remote, Brushed Brass

Product Overview

The Crestron HZ2-AUX-BR-BRASS is a Horizon 2 in-wall multiway remote in brushed brass finish. It allows a Horizon 2 dimmer or switch — such as the HZ2-DIMEX, HZ2-DIMUEX, or HZ2-SWEX — to be controlled from an additional location via standard traveler wiring. The device mounts in any 1- to 4-gang US electrical box and is rated for 120 VAC at 50/60 Hz. A Style 6 large rocker button with default dot engraving provides a clean, minimal interface that matches the Horizon 2 aesthetic.

Product Description

Horizon 2 is Crestron’s premium architectural lighting control platform, featuring a consistent design language across dimmers, switches, keypads, faceplates, and accessories. The HZ2-AUX multiway remote extends that aesthetic to three-way and multi-way lighting circuits, providing a companion switch at secondary locations without requiring additional control wiring or network infrastructure. The brushed brass finish coordinates with warm-metal interior design schemes found in hospitality, residential, and upscale commercial spaces. Maximum traveler wire run from the primary device is 250 ft (77 m) using standard 14–12 AWG wire. A compatible HZ2-FP-G faceplate is required and sold separately. The primary Horizon 2 dimmer or switch is also sold separately.
