Dealer Setup
Currently when setting up timers and alarms the event which the users can select are a list of ten Crestron Home Events.
These Crestron Home Events are Setup in the Crestron Home Setup App.
However in addition to this we have enabled the possibility to name these events to a friendly neam that your user will understand. Click on Event Settings to setup the Event Names.
We suggest you set these names first in the driver setup in the UI as this will make it easier to reference them in the setup app.
Adding Crestron Panels
In the setup app the ten events are shown with the names which you have setup in the Settings Pages of the driver.
Connect each of the required events to the appropriate Actions:
Sequence, Actions or Quick Actions.
