Interface capability between Lookout and Crestron or Lutron home automation?

I have an existing project with Crestron home automation equipment, looking to fully automate their irrigation and stormwater systems (PLC, SCADA, etc...  ).  Is there any information I would be able to display on the Crestron screens in the house, and what process/hardware is required, if possible?  Thank You in advance for your time.

I assume you have some PLCs, and want to monitor them. What PLCs do you have?  What kind of crestron equipment do you have? Do you want to run Lookout on crestron touchpanel?

I am a Test Engineer at Crestron. I am interested to know details about your work with Crestron using LabView. Please contact me joriol@crestron.com

The plc will be a GE Fanuc 90-30 series with probably a 351 CPU.  Not sure what they have in the home for Crestron equipment.  It was a $50 million dollar remodel, so I know they would be willing to get whatever we need to make it posible.  My simple solution is the Crestron running IE and access the PLC/SCADA through a vnc connection, but I am just looking for a little cleaner way to do it.  I have very little experience on the Crestron end, so I need to get some ideas on the Lookout side, then present them to the Crestron crowd.  I appreciate your time.

I too am looking to use NI Labview to interface with my home automation equipment. I'm a hobbyist, I'm not in the business of selling, programing, installing or servicing home automation equipment. I have access to LabView development tools at work. My boss encourages us to learn our development tools, he would be happy to let me use our LabView development systems after hours.
Equipment I'm interested in controlling and monitoring include:
Crestron CP2E - Compact Control System with Ethernet
Genter / ClearOne -  XAP 400 8x8 Audio Mixer / Conferencing Phone
HAI Home Automation Inc. - Omni LT Home Automation Controller
My primary interest right now is the Crestron CP2E.
Any assistance, or pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
