Already on Crestron XiO Cloud? Extend It. Or Replace It. Your Choice.

XiO Cloud is excellent for Crestron devices. But if your AV estate includes other brands - Logitech, Poly, Cisco, Barco, Sony - XiO can only tell you if they're online or offline. AVM-360 fills that gap with full telemetry: lamp hours, error logs, signal paths, and remote control - for every device, every brand, one dashboard.

The key limitation

XiO Cloud can manage non-Crestron devices - but only at a basic level

To be fair to Crestron: XiO Cloud does support non-Crestron devices if you upgrade to a higher plan. But there's a critical difference in what it can see. For non-Crestron hardware, XiO is limited to online/offline status. It cannot retrieve lamp hours, error logs, signal telemetry, or hardware diagnostics. That data requires AVM-360.

XiO Cloud is an excellent platform for managing Crestron hardware. These limitations apply specifically to third-party / non-Crestron devices on the platform.

Option A

Extend XiO Cloud with AVM-360 - the most cost-effective path for most XiO customers

You've already invested in XiO Cloud and your Crestron estate is running well. AVM-360 sits alongside it - monitoring everything XiO can't see in full depth. Together, they give you complete visibility across your entire AV fleet without disrupting what's already working.

How the two platforms work together

AVM-360
Full telemetry, lamp hours, remote control, AI diagnosis
✓ 100% of your estate visible · Full telemetry on every device · One team notified when anything changes
Why this saves money vs upgrading XiO alone:
Upgrading XiO to cover non-Crestron devices adds cost — and still only gives you online/offline status. AVM-360 Standard at $10/room/month gives you full telemetry for those devices at a fraction of the equivalent XiO upgrade cost.
  • 📊
    Full telemetry on non-Crestron devices XiO can't retrieve
    Lamp hours, error logs, signal telemetry, hardware diagnostics - for every Logitech, Poly, Cisco, Barco or other brand device in your estate. Data XiO simply cannot provide.
  • 🔧
    Remote control and diagnosis for non-Crestron hardware
    AVM-360 can remotely reboot, query and adjust non-Crestron devices. Reduce on-site visits for the 60–70% of your estate that XiO manages at status-only level.
  • 🤖
    AI fault diagnosis across all brands
    When an alert fires on any device - Crestron or otherwise - AVM-360's AI analyses the logs and guides your team through resolution. No AV specialist needed.
  • 📋
    Unified reporting across your entire estate
    Monthly uptime and utilisation reports covering all devices - Crestron via XiO data and all others via AVM-360 - presented in one executive summary for leadership.
💰 Example saving - 100 rooms (50 Crestron, 50 non-Crestron)

What you get with AVM-360 vs XiO upgrade Full telemetry, not just online/offline
Result More data · More control · Lower cost
Option B

Replace XiO Cloud with AVM-360 - one platform, every device, full telemetry

Some organisations prefer a single platform for their entire AV estate - one vendor, one dashboard, one invoice, one support call. AVM-360 monitors Crestron devices with the same depth it monitors everything else. If simplification is the goal, it delivers.

🌐
One platform for every AV brand you own
AVM-360 monitors Crestron, Logitech, Poly, Cisco, Barco, Sony, Samsung, Biamp and more - with full telemetry on all of them, not just online/offline status.
💸
Transparent pricing from $10/room/month
AVM-360 Standard is published openly at $10/room/month. No plan upgrades required to get full non-Crestron telemetry. No surprises on your bill.
🚀
Fully managed deployment - we do the work
Our team handles 100% of the setup. No AV specialist needed on your side. Typically live within one week of providing device access details.
🤖
AI troubleshooting XiO doesn't offer
When any device faults, AVM-360's AI analyses logs and suggests step-by-step resolution. Reduces the need for AV specialist callouts across your entire Crestron and non-Crestron fleet.
🏢
Cloud or on-premise - your choice
Deploy AVM-360 as SaaS cloud, within your own AWS/Azure environment, or on-premise via a NUC device. XiO Cloud is cloud-only. AVM-360 gives you the choice.
🔗
ITSM integration that covers everything
Alerts from every device - Crestron and non-Crestron - routed into ServiceNow, Jira, Zendesk, or ConnectWise. One workflow for your entire AV estate.

Which option is right for your organisation?

Both paths end in the same place: complete visibility across your AV estate. The right choice depends on your existing investment and appetite for change.

Option A - Extend
Add AVM-360 alongside XiO Cloud
  • You have a significant Crestron estate already running well on XiO
  • Your non-Crestron devices only show online/offline in XiO - you need more
  • You want full telemetry (lamp hours, error logs) for mixed-brand hardware
  • You want to avoid a platform migration project right now
  • You want to reduce on-site visits for non-Crestron faults specifically
Start Free Trial - Extend XiO →
Option B - Replace
Replace XiO with AVM-360
  • Your estate is heavily mixed-brand - Crestron is a minority of devices
  • You want one platform, one bill, and one team to call for everything
  • You want AI fault diagnosis across your Crestron fleet too
  • You want on-premise or private cloud deployment (not available in XiO)
  • You want white-label reporting for clients (MSPs and integrators)

What customers say

Organisations that extended or replaced their AV monitoring with AVM-360

"We had XiO Cloud for the Crestron rooms, but the rest of our estate was invisible. AVM-360 fills that gap completely - lamp hours, error logs, remote reboots for everything else. It was live in under a week."

— IT Infrastructure Lead, Corporate Group, Australia

"We moved away from XiO to AVM-360 for the whole estate. The AI troubleshooting is something XiO simply doesn't have. Our team resolves most faults now without needing a Crestron programmer."

— AV Manager, Enterprise Organisation, NSW

"AVM360 is our insurance policy across every device we manage - Crestron and non-Crestron. The proactive alerts helped us catch failures hours before they impacted meetings."

— IT Manager, Multi-site Enterprise

"We manage 50+ client sites with a mix of brands. AVM-360's single-pane-of-glass is the only platform that could cover everything. We tried extending XiO - it just can't do what AVM-360 does for non-Crestron gear."

— Director, AV Managed Services Provider

Common questions

XiO Cloud + AVM-360 - frequently asked questions

Does AVM-360 actually work alongside XiO Cloud - or do they conflict?+
They work completely independently and do not conflict. XiO Cloud communicates with Crestron devices via Crestron's own protocols. AVM-360 communicates with non-Crestron devices via their native protocols. You can run both simultaneously without any interference. Most customers use a single AVM-360 dashboard as their primary view, with XiO available for Crestron-specific deep configuration tasks.
Why can't XiO Cloud retrieve lamp hours and telemetry from non-Crestron devices?+
XiO Cloud is a Crestron product, and its deep telemetry capabilities are built on Crestron's proprietary device firmware and communication protocols. For non-Crestron devices it can only retrieve basic network presence (online/offline) because those devices don't expose their internal data via Crestron protocols. AVM-360 is built vendor-agnostically and communicates with each manufacturer's native API, SNMP, or control protocol - which is how it retrieves full telemetry from any brand.
If I use AVM-360 alongside XiO, which dashboard should my team use day-to-day?+
Most customers use AVM-360 as their primary monitoring dashboard since it covers all devices in one view. Your team would go to XiO Cloud for Crestron-specific programming, configuration changes, or firmware updates - tasks that go beyond monitoring. For day-to-day AV health, alerts, and incident response, AVM-360 becomes the single pane of glass.
Can AVM-360 monitor our Crestron devices if we decide to replace XiO?+
Yes. AVM-360 supports Crestron devices using native Crestron monitoring interfaces. For monitoring and alerting purposes, AVM-360 can fully replace XiO Cloud. The one thing to note is that XiO provides Crestron-specific programming and configuration tools that go beyond monitoring - if your team uses those capabilities, you may want to retain XiO for that purpose while using AVM-360 as your monitoring layer.
How long does it take to deploy AVM-360 alongside my existing XiO setup?+
Our team handles the full deployment. You provide device access details for the non-Crestron devices you want monitored, and we configure AVM-360 around your environment. Most customers are live within one week. Running AVM-360 alongside XiO requires no changes to your existing XiO setup.
