Re: Trying to Understand Crestron Gateways. Helped Needed please!!!

For control on AppleMusic, AutonomicControls and Sonos are the 2 that come to mind.? I played with the Autonomic ARM unit that will be needed, when it was in development and had AppleMusic to test with, but have since then my subscription, since we are mostly Spotify and Pandora.? Both Autonomic and Sonos have native control of the AM.? Now for Ecobee, the only module that I knew about and am using it on the CH side is from .? Looking at their site real quick, it appears that the module is no longer there, but I would definitely shoot them an email and see what they have to say about it.

Now for the remotes.? If you can find a way to keep the ML-600¡¯s I most certainly would unless you are replacing them with the HR series remotes.? Replacing an ML-600 with an MLX-2 should only be done if you don¡¯t like your sanity.? Had the pleasure of smashing 2 remotes because they just wouldn¡¯t work and taking the loss on the remotes was better than losing the rest of my sanity that I had at the moment.?

Hi,

I'm not aware of a way to control Apple Music with a Crestron system but there are other people who are more up to date than I am on subjects like that and may be able to chime in with a solution for you.

I did a quick search for ecobee and Crestron and all the links to companies who said they offered a driver are broken.? Given that there is one way I know of to do it.? I have written a driver that integrates a Crestron system with a Hubitat Elevation Hub.? The Hubitat can integrate with an Ecobee and then using my driver it can be integrated with a SimplWindows program.? This is a fairly advanced solution and if your Crestron programmer is just learning it may be beyond the scope of his expertise.? If he wants to look then I wrote an article for Residential Tech Today on this that can be found here:

There is no reason you can't have both an MLX remote and an ML-600 for control of a room.? However, because the ML-600 is a one-way remote, anything you do on the MLX will not be reflected on it.? So, if you choose a source on the MLX the ML-600 will still be sitting on its main page and won't jump to the page to control the source that was selected on the MLX.

Hope this helps

Jay

Thanks Jay?

For my system I currently have on my ML 600's of course all my Audio Video sources control, and all the controllable lights within the house. ?Each ML 600 currently is programmed for the controllable ?lights within that floor the remote is located on.

I am hoping to be able to control my Apple Music from the remote if not I can use the Apple Music app on my phone. ?I am not sure what I can or will be able to do with the MLX remotes. ?My Crestron guy is very new to industry and is learning as we go along. ?I have removed the HVAC and security from the system over the years as I found Ecobee so easy with the app. ?Not sure if the MLX could control the Ecobee system or not?

I have just purchased the MLX remotes however debating if should get the gateway or not if won't communicate as well as ML 600's.

Do you know can I use the ML 600's and MLX-2 remotes both in the system ? ?

Thanks
