Our Inception modules for Crestron SIMPL windows consists of a central hardware connection module and multiple companion modules for control of areas, doors, inputs and outputs.
The Inception modules for Crestron SIMPL windows are compatible with 4 series processors and VC4.
Hardware Configuration
The central hardware connection module connects to the Inception as a standard user. The best practice is to create a user just for the Crestron system and set the web page profile to “REST Web Api User”. The user must be added with the relevant permissions for the Areas, Doors, Inputs and Outputs that you wish to control and monitor.
The area module arming and Disarming actions can be performed with or without a user pin to be entered.
Arming and Disarming with a pin – the action will be performed as the user associated with that pin, their area permissions checked and their name logged in the review event history. Each users area permissions should be enabled or disabled as necessary for the user requirements.
Arming and Disarming without a pin – the action will be performed as the REST Web Api User, using the REST Web Api User area permissions and name in the review event history. The REST Web Api User area permissions should be enabled or disabled as necessary the arming and disarming without pin requirements.
Here is an Example of a User Setup to Access Alarms , Doors and Inputs.
In addition any Security Areas you wish to control should have the Multi-Mode Arming Setting Checked as show in the Screenshot here
Where to download the module and purchase a licence
We advise that you first run the supplied example project on your processor to understand how each of the InnerRange Inception modules work and confirm your InnerRange Inception is setup correctly

Customise and enable tile Icon (Update from multiple Buttons)
Extensive flexibility of usage through events and actions.
Show and Hide Buttons based on other button states.
Passthru Logic Functions for each button state.
Build your own UI with custom Buttons with feedback.
Like Quick Actions but so much more!
Usage
Currently we offer two different dynamic button drivers , a single button and a customisable user interface which offers up to ten buttons on a single user interface page, both also allow the use of the room tile aswell.
These two drivers allow for a multitude of uses to control and monitor the state of devices, functions and controls. The possibilities are really endless.
We have documented many examples in our library of use case examples here
Home View
From a user perspective the user interface provides a tile element on the room page and/or home page and a button or buttons in the main user interface page.
These buttons display an on or off state which can be changed by pressing the button (toggle) changed by pressing the room tile. Or changed using the Actions and Events System in Crestron Home.
In addition to the above which is all configurable in settings, the driver exposes a number of settings, actions and events making the simple button a hugely powerful control element.
Each State allows customisation of the text and icon , In addition the room tile icon and text can be set via actions allowing effecively many states including error states to be displayed.
The buttons can be used just as a status indicator with no user interaction via the user interface. Setting the state using Actions allows the state of a device or system to be displayed to the user.
The buttons state can also be used as a in simple logic allowing you only to allow or to action certain events in your system if the button is in a certain state.
Room View
Setup
Using the Setup pages of the driver you can hide and show buttons and setup the on and off text and icons for each of the buttons you require. NB: Dynamic Button single only has one button although you can hide it if you want!

Nuki System Setup
Before adding the LCD Driver to you system you must install and setup your Nuki Bridge and Nuki Lock as per the manufacturer instructions using the Nuki App.
Here is a screenshot of the application showing a correctly setup system including a Bridge and a single Lock.
The green indicators show a correct Server, bridge and Lock connection which are required for discovery and pairing.
NB: Once paired a cloud server connection is not required for the Crestron Home integration.
In the Nuki Bridge Settings the two developer options must be enabled:
API Quick Discovery – ( used for automatic discovery)
HttpAPI – (used for device control)
Add the Driver
Once you have added the Main Intercom Driver to a room you will see the controller UI tile in the room that you added the driver:
The Main page will show a button prompting you to change details of your Nuki Bridge.
Click the button to go straight to the device settings page.
Selecting Nuki Bridge
The Driver will automatically attempt to discover any Nuki Bridges on the same subnet as your device.
Click on a discovered Bridge to connect to that bridge or Click on the Connect Manually button to add a Bridge using a known IP Addess.
Top Tips:
We recommend setting up a MAC address reservation for your Nuki Bridge for the best stystem stability.
A Nuki Cloud server connection is required for the discovery to work and so we also give you the option to connect manually by adding the ip address of your bridge.
(this can be found in the Nuki App using Manage Bridges)
Pairing Nuki Bridge
If you have already paired with the bridge the pairing information and API key will be show if its the first time then press Pair with Bridge to start the pairing process.
Once you have pressed the Pair with Bridge button you can complete the pairing (within 30 seconds) by pressing the button on the Nuki Bridge.
Once pairing is complete the status on the page will show the API key and a Paired Status for your System and the Online Status will show ONLINE.
IP Details ViewPairing Progress View
Manually Pairing a Bridge
In the event that you cannot press the pair button or the discovery is not possible due to the lack of a server connection it is possible to manually add the IP and API details to the driver to pair the bridge manually.
We recommend using the automatic pairing above but this provides full flexibility to the installer.

Inner Range Inception Drivers
Our suite of Inner Range Inception drivers allow you to make the most of this powerful Security and Access Controller. The Inner Range Inception Alarm UI Extension can be used as a standalone driver or in conjunction with any of the Inner Range Inception suite of drivers.
Inception Events & Actions Driver – Allows control and monitoring of 20 Inception security areas through the Crestron Home Actions and Events systems.
Inception Access Doors Driver – Allows control and monitoring of 200 Inception doors through the Crestron Home Actions and Events systems and a setup UI tile.
Inception Interface Outputs Driver – Allows control and monitoring of 200 Inception outputs through the Crestron Home Actions and Events systems and a setup UI tile.
Inception Interface Inputs Driver – Allows control and monitoring of 200 Inception inputs through the Crestron Home Actions and Events systems and a setup UI tile.
Inception Alarm UI Extension Driver – Allows control and monitoring of Inception Areas a simple extension user interface.
Inception Security Core Driver – Allows control and monitoring of Inception Areas using the Crestron Home native security user interfaces.
The Inception drivers can be used in any combination or as standalone drivers, except for the Inception Security Core driver. The Security Core driver must be purchased and used with the Inception Events & Actions driver as we do not provide any Actions and Events in the core module.
Inception User Permissions
The Inception Alarm UI Extension driver and additional Inception drivers connect to the Inception alarm as a standard user. The best practice is to create a user just for the Crestron Home system and set the web page profile to “REST Web Api User”. It is up to you if you share a single user (recommended) or create a user per driver. The user must be added the relevant permissions for the Areas, Doors, Inputs and Outputs that you wish to control and monitor.
Alarm actions that require a PIN to be entered will be associated with the the users PIN set in Inception. The user associated with the PIN will be the user that performs the action, with their permissions checked and their name logged in the review event history.
Any control requests of areas, outputs or doors that don’t require a PIN will be performed by the api user and must have the appropriate permissions set on all devices.
Here is an example of a user that is setup with access to the arm and disarm multiple security areas, control doors and monitor input status.
In addition, any of the security areas you wish to control should have the Multi-Mode Arming setting checked as shown in this screenshot.

Build your own UI with custom Buttons with feedback.
Like Quick Actions but so much more!
Usage
This Dynamic button driver is a flexible tool allowing you to achieve a number of different things with a single site Licence. You might setup a single button in a room to control a s Fire or a A Set of Buttons to control your Garden Sprinklers.
You can choose if the button appears on the Home page or just in the room and you can customise the Icon used on the Tile to make it appropriate to the usage.
BMS Example
For Example you might somply want to display the states of BMS Warnings in the property:
Displayed on the front page so users can at a glance check the status
Customise the Alert Reporting Text to show the current Status
Push Action on the button can be used to repoll the connected system
Sprinkler Example
Displayed on the front page so users can at a glance check the status
Customise the Names of the controlled Sprinklers
Group many Sprinklers into a single control
Setup
Using the Setup pages of the driver you can add and remove buttons and setup the naming and icons for each of the buttons you require.
The setup of the buttons is stored persistantly meaning once you setup a driver the settings will persist a reboot of the driver.
NB: Its also best practice to store a Gold cloud configuration when you are happy with your crestron home configuration and before and after making any changes.
Panel to Panel intercom between supported Crestron touchpanels is now achievable with our Intercom Extension.
Usage
Once the quick setup is completed users are able to dial from one Crestron Panel to another within the property with just a few clicks!
From the room page on the TSW Panel the user clicks on the Intercom tile to open the dialer.
The User is presented with a list of Extensions to call.
Simple click the desired extension to place a call.
The Call Flow for a normal panel to panel call is as Follows:
User A uses the User interface above to call Panel B.
Panel B Rings and a User B must answer the call.
Panel A then Rings and the User A must answer the callback.
At this point the point to point call is establblished and is ended by either user pressing the end call button.
System Setup
Once you have added the Main Intercom Driver to a room you will see the controller UI tile in the room that you added the driver:
The Main page will show a button prompting you to add extensions.
Click the button to go straight to the settings page.
On the Settings page you can add Crestron Rava Extensions using device discovery.
Or you can choose to add extensions manually.
Adding Extensions
The Main Settings Page Shows
List of Existing extensions.
(Clickable to edit)
Options to add Extentions
Crestron (using Discovery)
Manual.
Adding Crestron Panels
When you first connect and after adding new Rava devices you will need to press Discover devices.
This will discover all Crestron Rava Devices on the LAN.
The process takes approximately 30 seconds to complete and once finished you will see a list of Rava SIP panels ready to add to your system.
Add the extensions that you want to use to the system one by one.
(You can return to the list to add more by pressing the Button)
NB: We recommend that Crestron panels are setup with a fixed IP or a Statically assigned IP addess by DHCP.
After adding an extension you will go back to the main settings page.
The Extension Showing up in the List of Extensions with the default information (Model-IPAddress)
From the main settings page you can return to add more extensions or continue to complete the setup of your added extensions.
Clicking on the newly added extension allows you to edit the Name of the extension which is presented to the user.
The name brought in from the system discovery is the Model name followed by the IP Address of the panel.
If you want to confirm that you have the correct panel before naming it then simply use the “Dial Panel to Identify ” button. This places a call to ring the panel allowing you to confirm which panel is which.
Adding non crestron Extensions
Extensions can be added manually to the system using the “Add Extensions” button on settings page of the central controller driver.
Non Crestron Sip phones can be added to be dialled from the system.
For example a 2N intercom can be added to the extension list or a concierge SIP Phone on the local area network.
It is possible with the correct NAT translation or by using a STUN Server to setup cross subnet calls in an MDU environment.
For more information or to discuss this capability for an MDU project please contact us.
Adding Addition Extensions After First Setup
Adding extensions to a system follows the same pattern as above. When an extension is added to the central controller all of the endpoint drivers are updated with the new extensions information and hence it is added to the list of available extensions to call.
Removing Extensions After First Setup
Extensions can be removed from the system on the setup page of the central controller driver. Click on the extension to remove
Extensions can be removed from the system on the setup page of the central controller driver. Click on the extension to remove to see that extensions detail page and then click the remove button to remove the extension from the system.
The Associated Intercom endpoint driver will need to be removed from the system using the setup app or associated with a different extension.
Adding Endpoint Drivers
We recommend adding an endpoint driver for each rava panel into the room where that panel is located. If the room has multiple panels you can either decide to only use one for intercom or put two endpoint drivers in the room making it obvious by naming which is which.
Once configured each driver will be paired to a panel.
The Endpoint Drivers have a very simple setup where the driver’s needs to be paired to its panel.
When first loaded to the system the driver main page will prompt you to set an extension.
On the Settings page Click Change Extension to assign an Extension to this driver.
A list of all extensions ( setup using the Main Intercom Driver) will be shown.
Select the Extension that you want this driver to be associated with.
When you exit settings and return to the driver main page you will see options to call the other extensions in the system.
NB: These endpoint tiles are designed to be used only on the Rava Panel which they are assigned to.
Integrators are advised to consider hiding other rooms on the Rava Panels Crestron Home Application using the show rooms function in advanced settings.
The drivers added to the System can be hidden easily on Rava Panels but on Mobile devices which are configured by users its more complicated to manage this. Calls can be controlled by the drivers running on mobile applications or non rava panels but the flow will not work as described unless a user is ready to accept an incoming call at both of the ends of the intercom call established.
Crestron Rava Panel (Zero)Configuration
Each Panel in your crestron home system should be setup with unique SIP extension number. Crestron Panels Self configure by doing a broadcast handshake on the network so you shouldn’t normally need to set your extension numbers manually.
If you want to make the experiance really slick for your users then Each Panel should also have a unique SIP Name for example “Lounge Door Panel” this means users will see information on who is calling them before choosing to answer a call.
This can be achieved by using the SIPLOCALNAME cmd at the panels console.
TSW-1060>SIPLOCALNAME GAMES ROOM Success: New parameter has been set
Allows you to control your 2N Doorstation directly from Simpl Windows
Relay and IO both exposed in Simpl Windows
This hardware interface is intended to simplify the connection of your Crestron Custom system to the popular 2N range of doorstation hardware. The Switch controls and IO input can be used in tandem with the SIP call functionality to allow a complete solution. In addition we offer a range of Door and Lock UI Tiles which can be used to give a user interface to the hardware.
Module
The software is delivered as a Simpl+ Module which can be used within a Simpl Windows Custom Program.
Parameters including
Licence Key and Network Configuration are all required.
The Switch INputs are controlled by Pulsing the
Inputs.
State Outputs are Latching Outputs including :
DeviceOnlineFb
SwitchState1 and SwitchState2
Input, Output and Relay States.
NB: Only the first Relay,INput and Output Supported.
All other digital outputs are pulses representing events.
The Response from the licensing call is reported to a serial string.
NB: The processor must be connected to the internet for initial activation.
2N Device Setup and Connection
To make use of the Switch and I/O API you will need to apply a 2N Enhanced Integration Licence.
We suggest when first connection you set authentication to None.
The Driver requires a TCP Connection Type and can support Digest , Basic or no Authentication.
If Authentication is used a user must be created and given control and monitoring on I/O Access and control privileges on Switch Access .
You need to create a user and give that user the privileges:
NB: the user is not the same as the user that you use to get into the web Interface.You have to add and enable one of the accounts on the HTTP API Page.
The function applied to Switch 1 or Switch 2 are configured in the 2N web interface.
NB: Relays and Outputs are not controlled directly by the module.
The Module controls the Swithes which in turn control the relay or Output.
Sample Program and Xpanel
A Sample Program and Xpanel are included in the download.
NB: You will need to update the licence key in the program to a valid licence key to use the sample program, there is currently no grace period on use.
The AIR Xpanel need to be setup with connection details of the processor and IP-ID-03.
This Xpanel is provided to Allow Initial familiarization with the Module.

Our InnerRange is a suite of drivers to allow you to make the most of this powerful Security and Access Controller. The Core Driver is only available in a package along with the Events and Actions Driver ( this is as we don’t support Core Events). All the other companion drivers can be used standalone on a system allowing you to use the subsystems of the Inception independently.
Hardware Configuration
The core and additional drivers connect to the Inception as a standard user. The best practice is to create a user just for the Crestron system and set the web page profile to “REST Web Api User”. Its up to you if you share a single user (recommended) or create a user per driver. The user must be added the relevant permissions for the Areas, Doors, Inputs and Outputs that you wish to control and monitor.
Core Alarm actions require a user pin to be entered and the userassociated with that PIN in Inception will be the user that performs the action, with their permissions checked and their name logged in the review event history.
Any control requests of areas, outputs or doors that don’t require a PIN will be performed by the api user and must have permissions on all devices.
Here is an Example of a User Setup to Access Alarms , Doors and Inputs.
In addition any Security Areas you wish to control should have the Multi-Mode Arming Setting Checked as show in the Screenshot here
Adding drivers to the system
Drivers are all located in Security System Type under the manufacturer “Inner Range”
Core Alarm Driver

Monitor Temperature and Humidity in your Crestron Home Setup.
The process of maturation of the wine bottles and barrels in cellars requires carefully protected climatic conditions that are stable over time. It is especially important to control the temperature and humidity of the environment, creating an ideal microclimate for bottles and barrels.
Optimal temperature conditions should be between 12 and 16 °C for red wines and between 10 and 12 °C for white wines. In particular, it is important to avoid sudden changes in temperature and temperatures that are too high or too low.
Humidity should be kept constantly between 70-80 %rh. Very low humidity air is harmful to wine because it favors uncontrolled evaporation and oxidation. This driver and hardware combination allows you to ensure your investment is protected in an ideal environment.
Home Page Tile Actions
The home page navigates you straight to the user interface of the driver.
The Time shows the Current temperature of the monitoring sensor.
Temperature Thresholds can be connected up to alerts or monitoring tools to ensure users are notified and remedial action can be taken.

If you have the WF2IR then please read here for specific setup info.
Global Caché network-connected products currently support network connectivity through Ethernet or WiFi, depending on product line and model. By default, all devices are configured to automatically acquire their IP configuration via DHCP. However, if a DHCP server is not available, devices will assume a default static IP address as specified in each device’s documentation. Configuration of a device’s network and I/O settings can be managed through the product’s configuration web pages, or via API commands if supported by the product Global Caché Unified TCP API (see here).
For detailed information about configuration and operation of the various products from a user perspective, please refer to each product’s Quick Start or User Guide here.
Connect both an RJ45 (Ethernet) network cable and power supply to your iTach unit. If the iTach is PoE (Power over Ethernet) enabled, connecting a power supply is not necessary.
In its default configuration, the iTach TCP/IP models use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address from your router. To determine the iTach’s IP address, download the iHelp application here.
Run iHelp on a Windows PC connected to your network. iHelp listens for Global Caché multicast beacons and displays the iTach IP address and other details within one minute. If a DHCP server is not present, defaulted iTach units will reside at IP 192.168.1.70.
Troubleshooting
iTach configuration can be reset to factory defaults by inserting a large metal paper clip into the small opening located to the right of the power connector. Only insert the paper clip approximately 1/8” (3mm) in. The LEDs on the front of the iTach will rapidly blink in unison, indicating a reset. Use a light touch when resetting your iTach, as force may damage your iTach hardware irreparably.

Call button on intercom presses ( Commonly used to trigger a doorbell using our Sonos Chime driver)
SIP Call Flow ( This functionality is not dependent on the driver)
We include and explanation here as the setup and usage is very common when using 2N in Crestron home.
When a guest or visitor presses the call button in a crestron home system configured for a 2N intercom the Crestron Rava Panels in the system ring with the incoming call from the intercom. This is done by setting up the dialer in the intercom
When the Crestron Home user presses the Actions button on this page a subsequent page showing all whole house quick actions is shown.
A common setup is to make a “whole house quick action” which opens the Gate using the 2N Switch Action
To make use of the Switch and I/O API you dont need any additional license on the 2N.
We suggest when first connection you set authentication to None.
The Driver requires a TCP Connection Type and can support Digest , Basic or no Authentication.
If Authentication is used a user must be created and given control and monitoring on I/O Access and control privileges on Switch Access .
You need to create a user and give that user the privileges:
NB: the user is not the same as the user that you use to get into the web Interface.You have to add and enable one of the accounts on the HTTP API Page.
The function applied to Switch 1 or Switch 2 are configured in the 2N web interface.

New Features v3
Summary
In the version 3 upgrade to our drivers we added a number of features to the standard 2N Module.
We exposed the State of the Relay in addition to the State of the “Switches”. This means if these are controlled by other systems you can keep everything in state.
We also added a couple of new monitored items to the events list.
With the Audio Licence on your 2N Intercom you can enable noise detection. Motion Detection is enabled on the internal intercom camera with the Video Licence. To read more about what licenses allow what on 2n follow this link.
In the version 3 module these events are brought into Crestron home as an Events. See a deomstration on our youtube channel here
Call Control
This new function allows basic control of the SIP calling on the 2N Intercom. When the call button is pressed on a 2N intercom setup for crestron home the intercom Dials “rava:CRESTRON” which initiates a call to all touchscreens in this default ring group.
NOTE: CRESTRON is the default ring groups for all shipping TSW‑x60 / 70 touch screens. This driver only supports this standard default CRESTRON call group.
Actions
(In addition to previously supported features)
Dial Panels ( Calls the Rava Dial Group CRESTRON)
End SIP Call Ends the call made by the Dial Panels Action ( Will not end a cll made from the call button)
The 2N Driver Series allows sophisticated control of the 2N Intercom systems. Along with standard intercom functionality between the intercom panel and the gate/door control there is now the ability to lock/unlock, detect states of lock/unlock and set AutoLock functionality.
In addition to control from the Tile and UI this driver has Sequencing actions that can be used via a quick action that can be selected from the actions button when a SIP Call is received from the front gate station.
Door Lock Function:
We control Lock/Unlock state of the door lock.
Implementation:
We control either Switch 1 or Switch 2 in the 2N Relay. This is configurable in the admin setup along with the IP address of the 2N device.
The Driver calls on the 2N rest API to activate the Switch on the unit.
On the unit the Switch must be configured to control the desired output device.
Door sense functionality updates the status of the tile feedback when the door is opened without the lock being released by an action from the driver. It will also indicate if the door is opened when the lock is enabled. See Feedback states above.
