Compatibility
Requires

Network
Local network access to the device — no cloud relay in the control path.
Why it's built this way
- App list and one-touch launch/recall — clients stop hunting through the Roku home screen with the stock remote.
- Real app icons and active-app feedback, so the room's UI always shows what's actually playing.
- TV power and volume control folded into the same driver — one entity, not a stack of macros.
- Built on Roku's own documented External Control Protocol — no logins, no cloud dependency, no reverse engineering.
- Drop-in replacement for the nav-only driver most systems ship with today.
Requirements
- Crestron Home OS 3-Series or 4-Series processor
- Roku device on the same local network as the processor
- Roku External Control Protocol enabled (default on for network-connected Roku devices)
Evaluate first
Every Syndrivers driver runs in trial mode when no license key is installed — sideload it and prove it on your own processor, full features, time-limited per load. When it earns its place, license the processor and drop in your key.
FAQ
- Does this replace the built-in Crestron Roku driver?
- Yes. It's a direct upgrade — everything the stock driver does, plus app list, launch, icons, and now-playing feedback it leaves on the table.
- Does it need a cloud account or internet access to work?
- No. It talks to the Roku over the local network using Roku's own control protocol. No cloud, no login, no external dependency.
- Will it work with any Roku model?
- Any Roku device with network-connected External Control Protocol support, which covers the current Roku lineup and most models from the last several years.
