Installing & configuring the driver
Before you start — prepare the 2N device
The driver talks to the 2N device over its HTTP API, so configure the device first. The full walkthrough is on the 2N Device Configuration page; for this driver you need:
- Enable the HTTP API and switch on the Switch, I/O, System and Logging services. On 2N OS 2.34 and earlier, the HTTP API and directory access require the 2N's Enhanced Integration licence (included in the Gold package); current firmware does not. The troubleshooter warns if it is missing.
- Create an API user account — this is separate from the web-interface login. Grant it switch control privileges. For user management it also needs directory / access-control privileges.
- Note which switch (Switch1–Switch4) drives the door strike.
Add the driver
In the Crestron Home Setup app, add the driver from Drivers → Lock → 2N → 2N. Setup runs in two steps.
Step 1 — Licence
Enter your licence key. The driver validates the key before it will continue; an invalid key shows an inline error and blocks the next step. This step also carries the Diagnostics & Setup and Product App URL links to the on-box apps — see Commissioning App.
The licence key and the hosted product/licence app are managed through the LCD Product MicroApp — see Product MicroApp in LCD Tools. Use the Get a Licence link in the wizard to purchase or manage a key.
Step 2 — Device Info
| Field | Enter |
|---|---|
| IPAddress | IP address of the 2N device |
| Username | The 2N API account username (not the web-interface login) |
| Password | The 2N API account password |
| Switch State | The switch that drives the door strike: Switch1, Switch2, Switch3 or Switch4 |
On completing this step the driver connects to the device, reads the current switch state and becomes ready.
After configuration
- Unlock energises the configured switch (releases the strike); Lock de-energises it. The command is always sent to the device, even if the tile already shows that state, so a stale reading can never leave a door in the wrong state.
- Lock state follows the device: the driver listens to the 2N event log and updates the tile whenever the switch changes — including changes made outside Crestron Home.
- The online, ready and error indicators reflect the device connection and any faults (see the overview).
Always confirm lock behaviour against the physical door strike during commissioning — a wiring or switch-polarity mismatch can invert lock and unlock.
The Commissioning app makes this easy: Test unlock / Test lock fire the real strike from your browser, and the Troubleshooter verifies the 2N connection, credentials and switch setup.
