Add the Driver

You can find the AJAX Power driver in the Drivers section of the Crestron Home Setup App under:

Once you have added the driver to the room, look for the UI tile in the Crestron Home application or on a TSW touchscreen to continue the setup

AJAX Power Settings

The main page will show the current connection status to the homeowners AJAX account and AJAX hub.

When you are setting up the driver for the first time you will need to add the homeowners AJAX account details:

  • Press the AJAX Account Setttings button

Add the homeowners AJAX account details

  • Enter the AJAX account username
  • Enter the AJAX account password

Note: It is preferable to setup a unique AJAX user account for the Crestron Home system. In this way the homeowner can see the events and allow/deny access to the Crestron home system separately to the main user account.

To do this the homeowner would need to use the Send Invites process inside the Active Users page of the AJAX system

Once connected to the homeowners AJAX account you will need to select the correct AJAX hub

  • Press the Select AJAX Hub button
  • Select the AJAX hub that you would like to associate with this alarm driver
