There are two ways to connect to the lighting network you can either plug in directly to the lighting network or you can wirelessly connect to a wireless access point that is itself connected to the lighting network. It is necessary to purchase the full app if you want to use ShowRunnerCLC™ on a mobile device. Note that while a free version of the Crestron App exists, it has limited functionality relative to the paid version and is not compatible with ShowRunnerCLC™.
The Crestron App enables a user or technician to set up and control the lighting system through an Apple (Crestron Go) or Android (Crestron App) mobile device using the same intuitive ShowRunnerCLC™ interface that is familiar to anyone who has used a TSW touch panel.
