Crestron ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE – ZumMesh AV Bridge Control Module

Product Overview

The Crestron ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE is a wireless control integration module that connects a Crestron control processor to the ZumMesh lighting network — enabling coordinated AV and lighting control within a single commercial space. It bridges Crestron's IP- or Cresnet-based control systems to the ZumMesh Thread-based 900 MHz mesh network, allowing AV events to trigger lighting scenes and lighting sensors to feed occupancy data back to AV systems.

Product Description

In commercial environments where AV control and lighting operate independently, the ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE eliminates the need for manual coordination between systems. When a presenter starts a meeting, the module can automatically dim the lights to a presentation scene; when the room empties, vacancy sensing through the ZumMesh network can initiate AV shutdown. The module connects to an existing Crestron control processor via IP or Cresnet and communicates with ZumMesh-enabled luminaires and devices across the wireless mesh. Designed for integrators who are deploying ZumMesh lighting alongside Crestron AV control infrastructure, the ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE reduces programming complexity and provides a reliable, single-vendor integration path. TAA Compliant for government and federally funded projects.

Key Features

• Bridges Crestron control processors to ZumMesh wireless lighting networks via IP or Cresnet
• Enables AV commands (presentation start/stop, room mode changes) to trigger ZumMesh lighting scenes
• Supports occupancy and vacancy sensing integration between ZumMesh and AV systems
• Operates on ZumMesh Thread-based 900 MHz wireless mesh protocol
• Single-vendor integration path — no third-party middleware required
• TAA Compliant
• Designed for Crestron-native programming environments

Typical Applications

• Corporate conference rooms requiring coordinated AV and lighting scene control
• University classrooms with automated lighting adjustments on AV activity
• Multipurpose training rooms where room mode changes affect both AV routing and lighting
• Boardrooms with occupancy-based AV and lighting automation
• Facilities deploying ZumMesh lighting with existing Crestron control infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this module require a ZumMesh network to already be installed?

Yes. The ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE is designed to integrate with an existing or concurrently installed ZumMesh lighting network. It does not function as a standalone ZumMesh controller — a ZumMesh Hub or compatible Crestron processor with ZumMesh support must be present on the network.

What Crestron control processors are compatible with the ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE?

The module connects to Crestron control processors that support IP or Cresnet communication. Consult the Crestron configuration guide for your specific processor model to confirm compatibility before installation.

Can the ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE pass occupancy data from the ZumMesh network to the AV system?

Yes. When ZumMesh-connected occupancy sensors detect vacancy, that signal can be passed through the ZUMMESH-AVBRIDGE to the Crestron control processor, allowing the AV system to respond — such as shutting down displays or ending a meeting session automatically.
