All that said, if you go my route and follow my examples Crestron's not gonna help you if you call. The ch5 elements they created are trainwrecks if you know anything about web development at all. Personally I think that's for the best because I have found the Crestron tools to be pretty frustrating to work with. I do not use Contract Editor, I do not generate GUI Extender files, I write as much as I possibly can in the Microsoft tools and avoid the Crestron ones. My examples are very narrowly focused on avoiding as much of the Crestron ecosystem as possible. When I wrote it you could actually obtain a 4 series processor, nowadays with equipment delays being what they are that's less of a helpful solution. It just opens a normal websocket server and lets the UI communicate with the websocket directly, whether that is from a touchpanel or from a web browser. The advantage of it is that it does not require the XPanel license because it doesn't use Crestron's proprietary communication method. It must be written in SIMPL#, and uses libraries that are only available on 4 series. There is a sister project to the one you linked,, that uses a similar frontend Vue project but a C# backend.

The downside is that it's a little harder to program on the SIMPL Windows side of things. You could modify it relatively simply to add the XPanel code and license to it so that you could use it as an XPanel. That example is designed for being compiled and loaded to a Crestron touchpanel.

The example you linked above does NOT include the XPanel portion of doing Vue programming on Crestron. This license is a one time charge and is several hundred dollars per processor. In order to use their library, you must buy a SW-MOBILITY license. It's a javascript library available on npm that interfaces with Crestron code on the backend.

With the deprecation of browser based flash, there is a new XPanel product. In the past XPanel was a flash based solution that connected just like any normal panel did, it just compiled and ran on the desktop or in the browser. Well I wrote the example you linked, so I'm happy to answer questions about it.Ĭrestron provides an option called XPanel.
