Crestron Home Extension Drivers

Crestron Home Extension Drivers that interface Matter, Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Wi-Fi devices utilizing a Hubitat automation hub.

In order to integrate wireless Matter, Z-Wave, Zigbee and Wi-Fi devices with Crestron Home, some sort of gateway or hub must be used. Hubitat Elevation C-7, C-8 and C-8 Pro automation hubs have been chosen to provide this function.  The Hubitat is compatible with several hundred Matter, Z-Wave, Zibgee and Wi-Fi devices of several different types. No subscriptions of any kind are used.  Since all Matter, Z-Wave, Zigbee and Wi-Fi communications are local and do not require the internet, the Hubitat hub is efficient, reliable, and secure. There are no communication delays due to using a cloud service.  The Hubitat hub provides immediate unsolicited status updates for devices. Polling for device status is not used. In testing, lighting commands were typically responded to with status updates in 3-4 milliseconds.  Through the Hubitat web interface, devices can be acquired, configured, and checked out prior to interfacing with Crestron Home.
