For the installer, Crestron Mobile for iPhone is fully integrated with Crestron programming software including SystemBuilderâ„¢, VT Pro-e and SIMPLâ„¢. The app appears as a symbol in the Crestron data library, which can be dragged and dropped into the control program and uploaded to a Crestron 2-Series control system. Custom GUI designs and program settings are implemented exactly the same as any other control module at no cost.
