Introducing the Smart Home User Interface by Artem Buslaev — a cutting-edge demo created with AVstudio that redefines the smart home experience. This sophisticated yet intuitive GUI offers a refined design with dynamic quick actions like “Lounge,” “Dinner,” and “Cleaning,” alongside direct controls for lighting, climate, and shades.
Fully responsive across devices — including iPads and iPhones — the interface automatically adapts to screen size without the need for additional programming. Multi-language support and a smooth, logical layout ensure ease of use for all users.
Optimized for seamless integration with Crestron and KNX systems, this demo showcases what’s possible with AVstudio: precision, performance, and design elegance combined.
This HTML5 GUI sample was created using one of the earliest versions of AVstudio.app, demonstrating its power even in the early stages of development. The interface delivers a clean, modern experience for smart home control, featuring real-time weather, analog clock, daily reminders, and personalized user data.
Explore basic functionality like video control, adjustable lighting, and motorized shades. Effortlessly switch between rooms and enjoy the intuitive layout.
Built with AVstudio.app to showcase versatility, speed, and simplicity – no coding required.
It’s been a little over a week since InfoComm 2025 wrapped up in Orlando, and now that we’ve caught our breath, it’s time to reflect on what turned out to be an incredible show — both for the AVGator team and the broader AV industry.
Our booth was buzzing with conversations, live demos, and hands-on exploration of AVStudio.app, the cloud-based HTML5 GUI editor that’s rapidly gaining momentum. In just three days, we saw a 12% increase in new user registrations and a 27% boost in individual license sales — a clear sign that AV professionals are embracing the shift toward HTML5-based GUI design.
Why All the Buzz?
It seems the entire AV Industry is moving fast toward HTML5:
🧩 Leading Control System Manufacturers are rolling out HTML5-only support on their touch panels
🧩 Integrators — large and small — are training AV engineers in JavaScript, React, and other web development frameworks
🧩 And manufacturers across product categories — from UC and room scheduling to signal distribution and digital signage — are looking for flexible, future-ready GUI solutions
AVstudio just happens to be in the right place at the right time. Why? Because it’s built for AV professionals by AV integrators — with years of real-world project experience behind it.
As the AVGator founder — Vadim Chekirka says:
“Try to train an AV engineer to become a web developer, and you’ll lose a great AV engineer… and gain a mediocre programmer.”
That’s exactly why AVStudio bridges the gap — empowering AV engineers to build fully custom, responsive GUIs without writing a line of HTML/CSS/JS. With a product shaped by control system experts and web developers, over 900 AV professionals are already designing smarter with AVStudio.
What we Showcased at InfoComm 2025
Visitors at our booth got hands-on with the latest release of AVStudio — the cloud-based HTML5 GUI editor, and it quickly became one of the most talked-about tools on the floor.
Here’s what we demoed:

AVStudio HTML5 GUI Editor Updates Version 3.4.0 | New features for Crestron Control System GUIs
At AVgator Inc., we are committed to evolving our AVStudio HTML5 GUI Editor to empower system integrators with faster, smarter, and more flexible tools. Our recent updates — versions 3.4.0 through 3.4.2 — bring exciting new features and capabilities that help Crestron HTML5 GUI developers deliver exceptional, customized control system user interfaces.
Premium Widgets for a One-Click Integration
NEW
With version 3.4.0, we launched the Autonomic Premium Widget — AVStudio’s first widget designed for one-click integration within your Control System Custom GUI project.
This new AVStudio HTML5 GUI Editor feature is developed to accelerate your Crestron Control System GUI design. Simply drag and drop the widget, enter the IP address, and you instantly get a sleek, fully responsive media player interface ready to use. No complicated setup — just rapid deployment that saves time and impresses clients.
Key features include:
Only the IP field is required to get started
Fully responsive design that fits any space
Comprehensive support for the Autonomic API:
Full transport control (Play, Pause, Skip, etc.)
Real-time metadata display (album art, track info, artist name)
Volume control
Player selection
Seamless integration with Crestron, Global Caché, and other AV control systems
This launch marks the start of our vision to develop a diverse portfolio of premium widgets supporting one-click integration with multiple hardware and software platforms. These widgets will be tailored for residential, corporate, hospitality, and education use cases.
We are committed to making AVStudio the go-to Crestron HTML5 GUI Editor for seamless, drag-and-drop integrations across all environments.
Web Connectors to add IP-controlled devices
NEW
In addition to the existing Crestron Connectors, which enable fast development and testing of Crestron HTML5 GUIs within AVStudio, this new release introduces new Web Connectors. These empower you to integrate and control a wide range of other IP-based devices and control systems within the AVStudio HTML5 GUI Editor.
Managing HTTP resources in your AVStudio GUI projects is now easier with the new Web Connectors feature. Accessible from your project’s global settings, Web Connectors let you centrally store and manage data properties used across your HTTP actions, making edits faster and your Custom GUI Editor projects more consistent.
The New Web Connectors feature extends your GUI project capabilities far beyond standard Crestron hardware and makes AVStudio the go-to GUI Editor for system integrators working across AMX, Control4, Extron, Global Cache, and other various control systems and devices.
WebSocket connectors are currently under development and will soon complement the existing Web Connectors. This new functionality will enhance the handling of real-time data streams and support remote data sources, expanding your options for dynamic and responsive integrations in future AVstudio updates.
Redesigned Manage Actions Layout
NEW
To streamline your workflow, we redesigned the Manage Actions interface in the HTML5 GUI Editor to occupy almost the full screen and group actions thematically. This reorganization helps you quickly find and manage the actions you need, keeping your focus on building powerful GUIs without unnecessary distractions.
Workflow Improvements
BUGFIX
Between updates 3.4.1 and 3.4.2, we delivered key fixes and enhancements to make your control system GUI design experience within AVStudio more stable and smooth:
Fixed issues with attaching dynamic page names in route actions
Improved stability of routing-back operations
Introduced the new Editor Connection Manager for better connection handling inside the editor
Several minor improvements and bug fixes for overall performance
