Crestron touchpanels are graphical user interfaces that provide the user with visual 
control and feedback. 

Touchpanels are an elegant, efficient and practical solution to room control. A 
touchpanel can control lighting, audio and video, HVAC, and security.  

Touchpanel pages can provide convenient control of every individual light in the 
residence from a single location. The integration of touchpanels and lighting control 
is a primary feature of Crestron lighting systems. The designer can create a complex 
control environment while presenting the user with easy and intuitive controls.  

For example, a "Good Night" button can be programmed to dim the lights, gently 
quiet the music, notify the alarm system, and set a nighttime temperature. All with 
one touch. 

Designed using VT-Pro-e software, these user interfaces can be customized to 
provide complete control of the lighting control system and the entire home 
automation system.
