I have this exact display - can you provide any info on how you got the home assistant interface running on it? Do you have the rest of a Crestron system, or is this just standalone using the build-in web browser in the panel?
Jason looks great! I would suggest installing a 2-gang low voltage ring in the wall and attach the Crestron mounting bracket to that. Would be much easier to uninstall the bracket if you ever need to.
It's fascinating to see how people utilize home assistants. I've been using it since 2018, but I've never used the dashboard. I prefer my house to react to my actions rather than instructing it.
The TSW screens are just glorified Android tablets. Depending in on the model you either need to SSH into the screen or log into it's web management and tell it to launch the browser application (Chrome). Once in Chrome goto the settings and set the homepage to the URL of your Home Assistant dashboard; then relaunch the browser in Kiosk mode. There is no need for a Crestron processor or their stupid walled garden of software. Honestly there are dozens of better tablets out there but the 'pro aesthetic' and the PoE capability on the TSW is nice, however support is non-existent for the hobbyist and the little documentation published is incomplete.
The Crestron TSW-1060-B-S model does seem cheap. Where did you buy yours from? And are you running home assistant on it or Cresteon software (which contradicts this whole video).
Awesome content only if you explain your scripts. good for some clicks I suppose. What crestron processor is driving this TSS 7 with scheduling lights typically for commerical applications. Cheap POE panel, sheez. MSRP is 2500 or so...I do commerical AV and it seems others know as well...then again good content if you explain your scripts (Creston code)
exactly! - please - less sensationalism and fast cuts, and more technical details / back-end explanation (and setup). there are tons of great , how to run wire / mount xyz into Sheetrock videos on YT already- tks
On the leaving script, how do you account for closing the garage doors? Do you manually do it or did you script that? I'm trying to think of a way to use motion sensors and a timer to close your door Automatically when you back out, but that introduces the variable of something else causing the motion to trigger and maybe you haven't backed out yet... Got me thinking
Can you please update at least the description on how to force/access HA dashboard on this device? I think multiple people have been asking on the comments here
Hey @Bytemybits you could get another subscriber, just by answering my question above. Can't find any information how TSW-1060 shows the HA webpage. TSW-1070 seems to, but it's at least $600 used
This is awesome content. Absolutely love personal home automation customizations like this. Nothing better than a control panel to control everything. I have several amateur versions of stuff like this myself with widgets for Alexa, smart things etc and such and TeamViewer remote Windows PC use on my tablet's etc. This stuff is a massive time-sink and can leave us obsessing over customizations and optimal layouts forever but when we get it right it is so worth it.
Love the display and dashboard. Will have to look into getting one for my HA. Also, get a small bucket of Poly Pull Line to make future cable pulls alot easier.
Super cool man! Sorry if I missed it but did you say it does have motion sensor so it'll dim or turn off after a period of no motion, then turn back on when motion is detected?
Jason, it looks great! I hope that as you get more familiar with Home Assistant you start doing more instructional/how to videos. I've been doing Home Assistant and smart home devices for several years now, but you have CLEARLY learned WAAAAY more than I have in a MUCH sorter time! Good on ya!
of the *few* details this video contains, one important one is incorrect- the Crestron unit (touch panel) he is showing is a 1070 model, not a 1060. (cant tell if its a TSS-1070 or a TSW-1070 without seeing the label). would be nice for more details to be provided, or a follow up video. :(
For some reason I can't edit my comment so here's an expansion to my question, "I'd also like to be able to change the color of the icon depending on if open or closed too." For what it's worth, I'm running HAOS on a vm on unraid, fully updated, and using the chamberlain connection to my garage door. If I could connect the control to the "ewelink card" I have for it that'd be cool, otherwise chamberlain control works as is.
@@pc_man18 sorry I miss understood, you’re saying I can configure the touch screen itself to access a webpage. That would make it a lot easier for me. I will look up a screen and see if it’s worth the effort based on the price. I appreciate it!
Would anyone happen to know what mount is being used? I like the fact that the lights are included. I want to put a feature where when I arm my home it’s red and when I’m home stay it’s green.
This is a Crestron TSW-1070. It comes with the mount and the light bars are an accessory. You can’t buy them directly from Crestron but there are resellers and eBay if you really want one. They’re not cheap.
How's that work with the 55" screen, is it a separate instance of HA, or is there a way to specify what is displayed on what devices/screens? Sorry, complete newb when it comes to this, infact I havnt even gotten to try and setup my own instance yet, I built the HA-OS VM on my unraid, but have yet to even do the initial setup boot of it.
@Technically Speaking I'm sure it can't be the same web page that the larger screen is or else it'd be all squished together and the smaller screen didn't have all the stuff the big screen had, so is it a seperate page in one I stance, or do you have to have multiple instances for multiple pages like this?
Hello, I really liked your video, I bought the same screen as you but I'm having trouble figuring out how to display HA, I have the impression that I must have : CH5 Contract Editor But for the moment I can't get it.
Hi, yes after hours of searching... I finally found a customs application that I modified to point to my Home Assistant, then an SFTP connection to put the application in the tablet. On the other hand it's been a long time since I made them, I can't remember the sites or the info I had at the time.@@FranziskusSchmid
Great dashboard and video. Would like to hear your suggestions and/or comparison of comparable POE touchscreens as that Crestron one seems to be not readily available any more. Maybe try a more current POE Touchscreens and see how it compares.
Did you make a setup process video for using this display? I don't know why you choose to answer some comments, but not the ones simply asking how you were able to get this to work. You even liked one comment asking for an explanation? Why does it have to be a secret? We will find a way to do it.... it's just easier if someone who has done it already can share even a sentence or 2 of knowledge instead of gatekeeping information... What is the benefit
I'm really liking your intro/outro animations. The control panel looks like a pretty interesting idea, but I'm not sure why it would be set up to be impossible to remove/service after installation.
it's a bit disingenuous to say it's an off-brand display to the HA community like it is cheap/ubiquitous only to find out is is a muti-thousand $ Crestron unit that is typically used for commercial applications. Your typical HA tinkerer isn't going to have these kinds of resources. We use Crestron where I work, and it is far from DIY type stuff.
I think you are violating electrical code. As of 2017, there are rules about running power over ethernet. One of them is not to chase the network wire parallel to ROMEX (NONMETALLIC SHEATHED CABLE).You may not care, but I'm posting this for those who want to do the job correctly the first time and not diminish the value of their home, either by creating the need for rework or by burning it to the ground. Also, some of the rules are there to prevent electrocution risk. For example if a heavy, metal object were dropped on both the network cable and the romex, say, in an attic, it could bridge line voltage to the network and kill someone who is innocently crimping an ethernet connector elsewhere in the house.
Such an expensive display and then you create such a ...... suboptimal dashboard. Kinda overloaded I think and optically a bit old style ;-) . But of course that's only my personal and very humble opinion. Nice video though and a thumbs up for production etc.
If you’re able to read this, just downvote, unsubscribe and move on. This screen requires an existing Creston system to even get to the web browser, which is what he’s using to access the dashboard. What he’s conveniently, leaving out is that his system was installed by a creston expert installer and all he was doing is adding another panel to his system and then accessing the web browser on that panel.
While I agree that there are reasons to down vote this video, your reasons are not one of them. I think the biggest problem is not answering questions people asked. I bought a used Crestron TSW-1060 touch screen based on this video and I was able to get the Home Assistant dashboard on it. I did a factory reset and used the webpage that the screen serves up to be able to add my Home Assistant URL, I used one of the apps that had that option. It is too slow though and takes about 15 seconds to display the dashboard coming out of the screensaver. Now my TSW-1060 uses a different mounting bracket then his, I have seen pictures of the newer TSW-1070 with that bracket.
@@mine-iv2qn another problem I see is he states it’s a TSS model and based on what I’m reading those can only be used for scheduling. Can you still use a TSS in the capacity that this video depicts?
@@Buddylee-7 Yes, mine is a TWS -1060 TSS-10 B S, there was and maybe still is an Ebay seller selling these for $45 with the mounting bracket that screws in to a 2 gang box. B S just means black, smooth from what I have read. If you factory reset the screen you can get into the web page, I used the EMS app and put my HA URL in, entered my name and password and clicked the box to save the login. The time it takes to load my HA dashboard is very slow, I believe these are running Android 5, my security cameras can't show a live stream, only the every10 second update works for me. Some things like the Sonos card don't display, it does have a nice clock screensaver but it takes about 15 seconds to reload my dashboard when I touch the screen.
Since when is crestron a cheap, small and no name brand!? 😂
That's what I was going to say
There's a ton of 1060's available they need to offload because of the 1070 and their newer releases so I think that's why its cheap@@ethanberg1
😭🤣🤣
they make ones that nolonger work with creston and you can get them for 50$ for a 10 inch screen one
One with cracked screen $50
bmb casually mounting a $3k screen by the door to his garage..... us mere mortals are stuck using old android tablets lol
Agreed! Just looked up Crestron and realized I wasted my time watching this.
UniFi Connect Display is a far cheaper PoE touch display that can load webpages and other android apps.
“Super generic” 😂 about as boujie as one can get
it was from the trash tho
@@carbongrip2108 Connect and Connect Max actually look affordable compared to this lol
Please make a video walking through the set up process. Thanks!
I have this exact display - can you provide any info on how you got the home assistant interface running on it? Do you have the rest of a Crestron system, or is this just standalone using the build-in web browser in the panel?
Are you running a crestron system or did you just image android on their touchscreen? If the latter please make a video on how
Jason looks great! I would suggest installing a 2-gang low voltage ring in the wall and attach the Crestron mounting bracket to that. Would be much easier to uninstall the bracket if you ever need to.

Hi. Thanks for the video. What theme are you using for the dashboard please?
That’s a scheduling panel from Crestron. That’s a really expensive panel. Take off the led as you only have red and green for available or in use.
Has anybody figured out how to get HA to load on a Crestron?

This is my first time viewing your channel. What home system are you using?

Hey what UI are you using and how are you displaying it via Poe? I was considering a similar setup but my whole home is just on Alexa or phone apps
You can configure these to show a webpage so I’m guessing that’s how he’s doing it.
@@pc_man18 yea I think I can build a local webpage or use some templates but I’m not sure how to stream that page to that Ethernet port

It's Home Assistants Dashboard.
You can use existing CAT6 as its own pull cable for a 2nd run.
So what's actually running HA on the screen?
Would anyone happen to know what mount is being used? I like the fact that the lights are included. I want to put a feature where when I arm my home it’s red and when I’m home stay it’s green.
It is the mount that is made for the touchscreen.
