## What is Sight & Sound Controller?

Sight & Sound Controller, official app to control Crestron systems installed by Sight & Sound.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.11 — 2025-07-02

Minor UI and UX updates throughout the app.

Fixed:
- "false" text on notification settings.
- Lights block visible in rooms without lights.
- Various RGB related features.
- Drag & drop implementation.
- Panic Center page showing blank on certain projects.
- Shades not always saving properly in scenes.

### 1.2.10 — 2025-03-26

Various bugfixes.

### 1.2.9 — 2025-03-24

Bugfixes

### 1.2.8 — 2025-03-19

Features
- You can now display alarm zones in any state using a filter on the Security page.
- Audio controls that don't provide feedback can now use a simplified slider (e.g., Samsung TVs).
- A global banner has been added to the app (similar to the "Not Connected" banner). This banner can be triggered by custom integration if requested by the customer.



Improvements
- (!) Some popup buttons have been switched between the left and right sides for better consistency across the app. This change may cause some temporary inconvenience but should improve usability in the long run.
- Popups throughout the app have been adjusted to have a more uniform size and layout.
- The background color on pages like the thermostat or air conditioning no longer disappears when the slider is on the bottom, ensuring text remains readable.
- Improved the visuals of alarm buttons when a warning icon is displayed on top of them.
- The Scene and Schedule pages now have a dedicated save button at the top-right corner and clearer visuals to indicate the name is editable.
- The Preferences section in the main menu has been redesigned for a more compact look.
- Small indicators have been added to some areas with additional content to clearly show that scrolling down or sideways is possible.
- The Camera page now highlights the selected camera, and that camera will always stay visible when scrolling down.
- All active activities are now displayed on the Active Systems page.


Bugfixes
- Fixed an issue where RGB lighting would not work properly in scenes (requires a system update).
- Fixed an issue where the scroll position wouldn't restore properly when returning to the previous page.
- Fixed pages unexpectedly scrolling down when navigating to a new page.
- Fixed an intermittent issue where a second touch would sometimes retrigger a previous action, causing things like lights to turn back on immediately after being turned off.

### 1.2.6 — 2024-06-12

# Features:
- Keypads
  - Added actions: volume mute, volume ramping, start/stop activities (systems updated after 2023-11-15)
  - Added feedback logic selection (systems updated after 2024-04-15)
  - Added labels for buttons (systems update after 2024-04-22), can be set by your installer.
- Added duplicate function on long press for Schedules.
- Added duplicate function on long press for Triggers. (Installer only).
- Added ordering of scenes when clicking "scenes" header (systems updated after 2023-11-15)

- Add tag input for Remote buttons where type is ControlSystem, this is used in combination with custom programming.



# Improvements:
- Systems without lighting will now hide anything scene related.
- Camera's and their snapshots have been rewritten to improve performance.
- Added broken camera stream detection with auto restart (only when streaming locally).
- Images (camera snapshots) no longer retry to load if they fail, a system fix has been made for this. This might cause some snapshots to fail loading, a system update (after 2024-05-14) will greatly improve this issue!



# Bugfixes
- Keypads & Motion sensors
  - Fixed "add scene" not working properly.
  - Fixed an issue where editing a keypad would sometimes break.
- Fixed name bugs on some pages.
- Fixed issue where popups would sometimes keep the screen blurred after closing.

- Fixed back button not always going to the right tab in some pages.
- Fixed scroll position not always restoring after navigating back.
- Fixed issue swiping back on camera's to stop when reaching the first, this will now revolve as it does when swiping forward.
