Description
The CPLLC UI Lights is a Crestron Home tile that shows, at a glance, which rooms have lights on. It reads every room and lighting load from Crestron Home’s own REST API, on the processor it runs on or on another one, and lists each room that has lights: the room’s row is on while any of its lights is, and one touch turns all of the room’s lights on or off. Each room’s page lists its lights, each with its own on / off switch, with All On and All Off. Sequences turn a room’s lights on or off by name, and each room raises an event when its lights go on or off.

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
- IP Address / Hostname – The processor whose lights are shown. 127.0.0.1 (the default) is the processor the extension runs on.
- Port – 443 (the default) for HTTPS, or 80. Another port is used only when the processor is reached through one.
- Obtain License Key – Opens CPLLC.net, where license keys and site licenses can be purchased.
- Enter License Key – The UI Lights license key. Leave blank when the site has a CPLLC site license.
- Show on Home Screen – Shows the tile on the Home screen (default off).
- Show in Room Screen – Shows the tile in its room (default on).
- Starting Pin Code – A numeric PIN that must be entered before the rooms are shown. Blank means no PIN (the default). A new Starting Pin Code replaces a PIN changed from the keypad, so a forgotten PIN can be reset here.
- Seconds Pin Active – How long the rooms stay unlocked after the last touch (default 10 seconds; 0 also means 10).
- Only Display Tile – Shows the tile alone: touching it opens no page (default off).
- Web API Token – The Web API token from Crestron Home Setup (Installer Settings › System Control Options › Web API Settings › Update Token) of the processor named on the first page. Required.
- Rooms to Filter Out – Comma-separated names of rooms not to show, in any case (e.g. Garage, Pool House). Whole House is never shown.
- Polling Seconds – Seconds between each read of the lights, 30 to 300 (default 60). A touch on the tile’s page reads them at once.
- Display IDs – Shows each room’s and light’s Crestron Home id after its name, e.g. “Kitchen (12)” (default off). For troubleshooting.
Actions
- Room On – Turns all the lights of the room chosen by name (room) full on.
- Room Off – Turns all the lights of the room chosen by name off.
- Room Toggle – Turns the room’s lights all off while any is on, otherwise all on.
- Extension Enable / Extension Disable – Enables or disables the tile. A disabled tile shows Disabled and its rooms and lights can’t be switched.
Events
- <room> Lights On – The first light in the room came on, from the tile, a sequence, a keypad or anything else that changed it.
- <room> Lights Off – The last light on in the room went off.
- Extension Enabled / Extension Disabled – The tile was enabled or disabled.
- Pin Locked / Pin UnLocked – The PIN keypad locked again, or the right PIN was entered.
