Description

The AprilAire 88XX Series Crestron Home Driver bridges the gap between AprilAire’s high-performance Wi-Fi thermostats and your Crestron Home ecosystem. This driver grants you full control over essential climate functions, ensuring your clients enjoy consistent comfort and energy efficiency.

Advanced Climate Features:

  • Full Mode Selection: Switch between Cool, Heat, Auto, and Off modes directly from the Crestron Home UI.

  • Precision Setpoints: Adjust heating and cooling targets and manage the setpoint deadband in Auto mode for optimal system performance.

  • Fan Management: Take control of fan speeds with support for Auto, On, and the popular ‘Circulate’ mode to maintain air quality.

  • Dynamic Feedback: View real-time room temperature displays on every touch screen and mobile device in the home.

  • Sequence Automation: Integrate climate commands, including modes, fan settings, and setpoints, into Crestron Home sequences and Quick Actions.

Compatibility & Setup:

  • Supported Models: Fully compatible with AprilAire 8810, 8820, 8830, and 8840 thermostats.

  • Wi-Fi Connectivity: This driver leverages the Wi-Fi capabilities of the 88XX series for fast, reliable communication without specialized wiring.

Important Note: This driver does not control the 8800 model, as that specific unit lacks the necessary Wi-Fi connectivity.

It is highly recommended and encouraged to use the built-in trial license to test the driver with your hardware setup before purchasing a full license. The trial period is 2 hours and can be extended another 2 hours by rebooting the processor.

If you have hardware-related questions, such as wiring or addressing, we advise reaching out directly to the manufacturer for assistance. Additional support, beyond driver configuration, requires the purchase of service hours before guidance will be provided.

AprilAire HVAC 88XX IP CH Manual

  • It is recommended that you save a configuration or golden configuration before installing any driver.

    • Check the IP address and port (8000 by default) configuration on the driver and the thermostat.
    • Make sure the thermostat and the Crestron Home processor are on the same network and they can communicate between them. Make sure there are no network restrictions that filter TCP port 8000.
    • In order for the thermostat to be controlled by a control system, you will have to enter the installer setup on the thermostat and change it to “Home Automation” mode. Each thermostat has a different way to get into the installer setup and the settings are also laid out different. Please refer to the thermostat manual or contact AprilAire tech support for instructions.

  • The setpoints values on the driver displays a rounded number. This is a limitation on the Crestron widget that is used, it can only display whole numbers.

  • The setpoints increment and decrement by 1° by default with this driver.

  • The driver only controls a single thermostat at a time. You will need to add additional driver instances, one for each thermostat (Eg. you have 5 AprilAire tstats, you will need to add 5 driver instances). If all the drivers are running on a single processor, you will just need one license key for all the AprilAire drivers.

  • The 8800 thermostat model does not have Wi-Fi connectivity

  • Unfortunately, no. This driver only works with models 8810, 8820, 8830, and 8840. The 8920 does not support 3rd party automation control. The 8840 is the recommended replacement as it is the same hardware as the 8920 but with support for 3rd party control with our driver.
