Crestron adds support for 3rd party AV devices to the Pyng home automation platform-- with LG 2017 and 2018 series consumer OLED, Super UHD and UHD TVs being the first getting IP control via the Crestron system.

Pyng offers simple luxury home automation setup and control for a variety of components, including audio, lighting, shades, thermostats, door locks, security keypads, occupancy sensors and photosensors. It allows installers to develop scenes for each room in the home and schedule events via iPad, and in turn homeowners can easily change scenes, settings and system schedules.

“We are very pleased to work with Crestron to broaden our relationship to include IP control of our consumer LG TVs," LG says. “With the rapid growth of AI, the TV has become an increasingly more important player in whole-home solutions. LG TVs deliver the ultimate combination of world-class picture quality and access to the world’s leading AI platforms. The addition of the Crestron Pyng residential platform further builds on value of an LG TV in the connected home environment.”

Pyng video support is set for a Q3 2018 release.
