Crestron MC4-R-HR-W Package Kit — 4-Series Control System with HR-310 Remote

Product Overview

The Crestron MC4-R-HR-W Package Kit bundles the MC4-R 4-Series residential control processor running Crestron Home OS with the HR-310-W wireless handheld remote in white. This kit provides residential integrators with a complete, ready-to-configure whole-home automation starter package for clients who prefer a traditional button-and-LCD remote over touchscreen interfaces.

Product Description

The MC4-R is Crestron's dedicated processor for Crestron Home OS — the company's residential automation platform that manages AV, lighting, shading, HVAC, and security systems from a single control architecture. The processor handles all device communication, scheduling, and automation logic, while Crestron Home OS provides the configuration and user interface framework.

Included in this package is the HR-310-W, a wireless handheld remote with a physical button layout and LCD display. For clients who find touchscreen navigation counterintuitive or prefer the tactile feedback of dedicated buttons, the HR-310 offers a familiar, reliable input device. Its button layout can be programmed to match the client's most common AV and lighting scenes, making daily operation straightforward without requiring access to a touchscreen or mobile app.

Purchasing the MC4-R and HR-310-W as a kit simplifies procurement and ensures hardware compatibility from day one. This is a practical starting configuration for single-family residential projects where the integration scope includes whole-home AV and lighting with a conventional remote as the primary user interface.

Technical Specifications

FAQs

What is the difference between the MC4-R and other Crestron 4-Series processors?

The MC4-R is the residential-focused 4-Series processor designed specifically for Crestron Home OS. It is optimized for the configuration workflow and device library within Crestron Home, as distinct from commercial 4-Series processors that run Crestron control software for programmer-configured systems.

Is the HR-310-W a touchscreen remote?

No. The HR-310-W is a physical button remote with an LCD display. It does not have a touchscreen. This makes it well suited for clients who prefer dedicated, tactile buttons for their most common control functions.

Can additional remotes or touchscreens be added to this system later?

Yes. Crestron Home OS supports multiple user interface devices. Additional HR-310 remotes, touchscreens, and mobile app access can be integrated into the same system as the installation grows.

Does this kit require a Crestron dealer or certified installer?

Yes. Crestron Home OS systems must be configured and installed by a Crestron dealer or Crestron Home certified installer. End-user self-installation is not supported.

Is this kit appropriate for multi-dwelling or commercial applications?

No. The MC4-R and Crestron Home OS are designed for single-family residential use. Commercial or multi-dwelling applications require Crestron's commercial control processors and software.
