Using XPanel, your computer communicates directly with your 2‑Series or 3‑Series® 1 control system over Ethernet. Touch screen projects using Smart Graphics can even be launched right on a computer by simply changing the file extension, offering a simple way for programmers to test touch screen projects without an actual touch screen present.Ĭrestron control systems support XPanel natively 1 to add remote access to any system.

A touch screen project developed using Smart Graphics can be instantly transformed into an XPanel project, dramatically reducing programming time. XPanel supports Smart Graphics™ 1, delivering the Crestron touch screen experience to your computer using buttons, sliders, gauges, dynamic text, scrolling lists, and customizable themes. Use XPanel as a low-cost control solution for a small classroom AV system, to monitor your home from the office, as an interactive kiosk in a lobby or museum exhibit, or to enable centralized control of lighting and climate control in an office building or conference center. It can be installed and run as a desktop application. Transform any computer into a virtual Crestron® touch screen with XPanel.Ĭrestron XPanel lets you control your home, office or classroom using a laptop or desktop computer running Windows® or macOS®. Refer to the XPanel Conversion Tool to convert an existing web-based XPanel project to a desktop-based XPanel project.

The archive can also be deployed via Crestron Toolbox software using the Web Pages and Mobility Projects function as shown in the image below. Refer to Create and Deploy CH5 Archives for alternative methods to enter control system credentials on each deployment. Enter the administrator username and password for your control system when prompted.This command will compile, archive, and deploy the project to the control system. Issue the npm run build:onestep or build:onestepweb command in the terminal, or select the run one-click NPM script.Update the existing build:onestep command in the “scripts” object to reference the build:deployweb script, or create a copy of build:onestep named build:onestepweb.
