DGE 100/200 w/Exchange
So I saw a demo video online of the DGE and its Exchange integration. Looked awesome, I wanted to find more information about it as far as requirements (Fusion Cloud?, Etc) but couldn't find squat. Does anyone know if Fusion Cloud is absolutely required for Exchange integration? We recently bought a bunch of Evoko Room Schedulers and they've been really problematic and I'm trying to pitch an alternative to a few of my clients but wanted to do some discovery first. Thanks!

Fusion Cloud is not required for the direct integration to Exchange - the web UI of the DM-DGE-200-C has a typical mail client page to enter account info, etc.
The build that supports direct connectivity to Exchange was posted today.
Thanks. From what I can tell the dge 200 has the webui where as the dge 100 doesn't. Also the room view they show in all the videos for the dge200 is really clean. The one with the golden gate bridge background. I'm hoping the dge 200 comes with that program and that it's not just an internal demo program. I'm trying to avoid making this a massive investment and was hoping for a similar cost to say Evoko I could instead just use dge 200s and a Logitech webcam for motion detection in each room with existing TV's.
You are correct that it is only supported on the 200. Creating a PP style interface is possible on the 100 but it's not native (control system and programming required).
The backgrounds are onboard, but if you point the DGE to a web server, you can specify up to 15 of your own images. There's no program to edit as PP is part of the firmware.
Send me a direct message if you want help getting to someone who can show you a demo.
Thanks! My Dge 200 should be here beginning of next week. I'll try to tinker with it and if I can't get anywhere or need a full demo I'll ping ya.
I cannot find the example program that they show with the DGE-200 in all their videos, I have no programs preloaded on my DGE-200 and I can't find anything here: http://www.crestron.com/resources/resource-library/example-programs
Thoughts?
Edit: Had to reboot the DGE after I upgraded the firmware before the default prog / uxpin showed up. I'm good!
Navigate to the IP address of the 200 via browser to access setup. Locate "PinPoint UX" tab to configure. Make sure to set calendaring option to Exchange. No program to load or modify - however, there are some device extenders in Simpl if you want the best of both.
Awesome! Thanks!
