Crestron Fusion - Watches your Crestron Systems
Rating: 6 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
This Software allows usage, status of Crestron systems in your corporate environment. The setup is probably the biggest hassle, because you need to plan what items you want to monitor and configure the Fusion hooks to enable the devices to be correctly monitored. Once configured it works well enough, but needs continual updating as you add/ remove any new systems.
Pros
- Monitor if a room is in use / on
- Give you the status of your projector lamps / filters (timer based)
- Gives you a one stop location to see the overall corporate status of all Crestron systems.
Cons
- Every hook needs to be set to make any useful data to be created / shown
- Interface needs to set up
- Continual maintenance to make data accurate
Likelihood to Recommend
The Crestron Fusion software is best for a site that has a Crestron Programmer onsite to configure and maintain said system. It works well but needs to have someone keep up on changes or additions. Any environment where you don't have a Crestron expert onsite could be cost prohibitive, as your data would be inaccurate after every upgrade, unless you built the cost into the upgrade.
