There is extensive and actively maintained support for Linn devices within Crestron systems. These drivers allow for potentially several Linn devices to be controlled through a Crestron control point (touch panel, iPad, etc). This support works alongside our own software, Linn App. For systems with many devices the driver organises the available rooms into a selection menu, and you can switch between active room for each Crestron control point as in Linn App. This support allows for seamless integration of the Kustom DSM alongside other DS/DSM devices.


There is a choice of support depending on the Crestron hardware available. Each option comes with setup guides and a demo project with a touch panel designed in VisionTools Pro-e for testing out their capabilities. The driver can then be customized and integrated into a customer’s system alongside other home automation features. For all options, the driver communicates with Linn’s CI Gateway software that can be enabled on certain Linn devices. If one of these devices is not available, then Linn Kazoo Server includes the CI Gateway and can be used instead.

These two options offer the same underlying driver with different approaches, whether you wish to design a system using SIMPL Windows or SIMPL#Pro. They offer all the basic control functionality of the Linn Lite driver alongside many extra features and optional modules that add extra functionality such as
• More extensive metadata and seeking within audio tracks.
• Browsing and searching of streaming services: Airable radio, TIDAL, Qobuz
• Modifying the active playlist of a Linn DS/DSM
• Rearranging the groupings of Linn DS/DSM devices to play the same audio source.
• Browsing and creation of Linn account playlists
• Browsing and searching of a local media server (such as Minim, Twonky, or Kazoo Server)
If you wish to keep the implementation simple, however, then these optional modules can be omitted.

This bundle of drivers developed using the Crestron Drivers SDK allows for the inclusion of single devices in a Crestron Home system. These offer limited control of functionality:
• Natively integrated source, volume, and standby control
• Natively integrated transport controls for the playlist source
• An extension driver offers additional functionality such as metadata and further transport control. It also allows you to select for playback: pins, recent airable stations, account playlists.
Any DS/DSM model can be used in Crestron Home. There is limited support for the Kustom DSM where each stream is treated as a separate standalone device and zones are disregarded. Grouping functionality within Crestron Home is largely restricted..
