About this app

Extron Control for Android takes AV room control to a whole new level of convenience. This easy-to-use AV control system app gives users complete access to Extron control systems directly from your Android device. Simply tap the Extron Control icon and connect to your chosen room to experience seamless, highly-responsive control. Extron Control automatically loads the user interfaces present on many Extron control products without a lengthy setup and customization process. The familiar interfaces emulate the TouchLink® Pro touchpanel, eBUS® button panel, Network Button Panel, or MediaLink® Plus controller in the room, and all button presses are kept in sync between the app and the Extron control devices.

Ratings and reviews

Takes 30 seconds to connect. Connection will timeout every time you switch apps. I don't see how this can be acceptable given the cost of the LinkLicense. Very disappointed.

The May 2 update no longer works with any control unit with firmware prior to 3.02. This was not listed in the app description, so I've now lost remote control of most of my systems.

Works great. Just make sure projects are on version 3.x or greater.
