Crestron Mobile Pro is now available as an iPhone app, and can be download from the iTunes App Store.

Crestron said the app combined the capabilities of Crestron Mobile to view home or office alarm status and adjust lights and room temperatures. It also includes pre-set audio and lighting scenes, home entertainment, pool/spa and more.

Petra van Meeuwen, Crestron’s marketing manager, said: “With Crestron Mobile Pro, simply tap the screen to select movies, music and TV in any room or adjust volume, light levels and room temperature with just a touch.

“Using the home Wi-Fi network locally or the powerful 3G and EDGE networks remotely, total control is always at your fingertips.”

In a separate development, Imerge, the Cambridge-based provider of hard disk home media servers, has announced that Crestron has officially certified its latest software module for Crestron’s touch screen control systems.

Imerge said the module has been designed to allow easy integration of its media server components with Crestron control systems. Imerge said that its new module is as beneficial to installers as it is to end-users, scaling from a one room installation, to a whole house scenario, with ease, due to the module’s modular design.
