Description
Requires Crestron Home OS 4.13 or later, which Crestron has not released yet (the latest release is 4.12; 4.13 is in Crestron’s beta program). On an earlier version this extension installs but Crestron Home shows no controls for it. Test it on your processor before you buy.
The CPLLC Virtual Shade is a shade with no hardware behind it. Crestron Home shows and controls it like any other shade: it opens, closes, stops and goes to a position from Crestron Home’s own shade controls, scenes and sequences. It moves for the installer’s transition times, and Crestron Home raises its own shade events for it, so sequences can follow a shade that is not wired to the system, or stand in for one.

Windows utility that simplifies sideloading of drivers and extensions.
The extension’s own license key, or a CPLLC site license key, is entered in the extension’s Enter License Key option. The License Manager is not required, but it is the convenient place to enter a site license key once for every CPLLC driver.
All license purchases are final and non-refundable. Every CPLLC driver works fully for two hours without a key: test it on your processor before you buy. See the Terms of Use.
Installer Options
- Obtain License Key – Opens CPLLC.net, where license keys and site licenses can be purchased.
- Enter License Key – The Virtual Shade license key. Leave blank when the site has a CPLLC site license.
- Seconds between Fully Closed/Opened – How long the shade takes to open fully (default 5).
- Seconds between Fully Opened/Closed – How long the shade takes to close fully (default 5).
Sequences
The shade uses Crestron Home’s own shade controls in sequences and scenes (open, close, stop, position) and Crestron Home’s own shade events (Opening, Closing, Fully Open, Fully Closed, Position Changed); it adds no actions or events of its own.
