OpenSource Essentials

PepperDash Essentials is Now Open Source

On this Valentine’s Day, we thought the industry could use some love, so we decided to open source our most popular Crestron framework.

PepperDash Essentials is an open source Crestron framework capable of running a wide variety of system designs and can also serve as a standardized plug-in architecture to augment other Simpl# Pro and Simpl Windows programs.
