Update a Previously-Deployed Configuration

Redeploy a configuration to implement changes that were made in the Crestron Home
Configurator.

Best Practice

l Use the Crestron Home Configurator to configure all aspects of the lighting system. This
includes creating rooms and scenes, load assignments, and button actions.

l To assign non-lighting functions to a keypad button, select None from the Button Mode
drop-down menu and then select Preserve Crestron Home Settings. For details, refer to
Actions Tab (on page 559). Changes made using the Crestron Home Setup app will not be
overwritten during a Redeploy.
Redeploy Rules

The following import rules will be maintained each time the configuration is deployed on the
processor.

NOTE: For a list of example redeploy scenarios, refer to Redeploy Examples (on the next page).

l Items created using the Crestron Home Configurator: If an imported item, such as a room,
device, or scene, originates from an import using the Crestron Home Configurator, the
imported item will be updated during future imports. For example, changes made to the
configuration, such as renaming a room, moving a device to a different room, or deleting a
device or scene, will also be made in the Crestron Home Setup app when the configuration
is imported again.

NOTE: Load assignments made in the Crestron Home Configurator are considered to be
part of the device. Adding, removing, or changing a load assignment in the configurator
will overwrite the previous assignments after a redeploy.

l Configuration is Copied in the Crestron Home Configurator: If a configuration is copied in
the Crestron Home Configurator and then the copy is imported, the association between
the items in the Crestron Home Configurator and the Crestron Home Setup app is
maintained. Changes made in the copy of the configuration will be made during an import.
To copy a configuration, refer to Copy a Configuration (on page 524).
l Items created with the Crestron Home Setup app: Items created in the Crestron Home
Setup app will not be updated by an import. If a name conflict occurs, the item created
locally using the Crestron Home Setup app will be renamed by prefixing "(local)" to the
name and the item created in the configuration is added. For example, if a room named
"Atrium" is created using the Crestron Home Setup app and a room named "Atrium" is
imported, the room created using the Crestron Home Setup app will be renamed "(local)
Atrium" and the room created in the configuration is added with the name "Atrium."
