Crestron Electronics, a global leader in smart home technology, announces the launch of the Cevo Mini Remote, a groundbreaking handheld controller that redefines what a modern media remote can be. Purpose-built for today’s streaming-first environment, the Cevo Mini Remote delivers intuitive, tactile, and elegant control for any Crestron Home® OS installation.
The Cevo Mini Remote embodies Crestron’s core values of simplicity, elegance, and ease of use. With a luxurious design, the Cevo Mini Remote features a precision-crafted aluminum edge that adds structural rigidity to a single pane of controls, while the customizable user experience extends far beyond media with a new way to interact with the Crestron Home OS.
Streaming has become the primary way people consume entertainment. The average U.S. household now uses multiple streaming services, often built directly into smart TVs and devices such as Apple TV® media extender, Roku® streaming devices, and Amazon Fire® TV Stick. Traditional cable boxes, disc players, and the complex remotes built for them are fading fast. Consumers expect fewer buttons, cleaner interfaces, and a seamless connection to the content they love. The compact footprint and streamlined controls offer the perfect fit for bedrooms, living rooms, or any space where intuitive, simple media control is needed.
“The market has reached an inflection point,” said Michael Short, VP of residential marketing at Crestron. “No other major control company has a product like this available today. With the Cevo Mini Remote, we’re giving dealers and customers a control experience designed for the way people actually watch, listen, and live in 2025, while introducing more homes to the Crestron ecosystem.”
Design Excellence Meets Everyday Comfort
The Cevo Mini Remote is engineered to feel as good as it looks. A refined metal profile frames a high-gloss black glass face, while a soft matte back panel naturally contours to the hand emphasizing the premium build quality. The unique paddle actuation system creates a beautiful haptic response for every button press to trigger precise, intuitive commands. The result is a control experience that feels less like operating a device and more like a natural extension of your hand.
This tactile innovation delivers immediate, satisfying feedback, ensuring users can operate the remote without looking down – great for darkened theaters, casual channel surfing, or switching between lighting scenes mid-movie. With an intelligent layout and streamlined set of controls, the Cevo Mini Remote puts essential media functions front and center. Users can quickly switch between streaming services, adjust volume, or jump straight to their favorite content with a single press.
The reduced button count eliminates clutter without sacrificing capability. By focusing on the features people use most, Crestron has created a remote that is approachable for first-time users yet powerful for home automation enthusiasts.
Control Beyond Media
The Cevo Mini Remote extends control to the entire Crestron Home OS experience through customizable interactive cells on its glass interface. These touch zones can be tailored by integrators or homeowners (without the need for engravings) to:
- Launch lighting scenes
- Raise or lower shades
- Select favorite scenes or quick actions
- Trigger personalized automation sequences
Keeping the Cevo Mini Remote powered is easy. Users can choose between the included USB-C® cable or a sleek wireless charging dock, ensuring the remote is always ready when needed and visual indicators display battery charging status. Whether kept on a coffee table, nightstand, or armrest charging cradle, the Cevo Mini Remote fits seamlessly into any room.
