i´m using Videostrom IRUSB. It says IR in it´s name, but the IR-part is not being used for this purpose: it creates a direct IP-control connection.
It works pretty well.
The only drawback is that it takes a couple of minutes after booting the Shield until the control connection is established.
Plus it creates an annoying splash screen that looks pretty confusing to people.
I´m also into Control4 – so if I can do anything to support you writing a Crestron module based on that, give me a shout.
Cheers,
Thorsten

I use a homebrew solution to control mine at home which is, unfortunately, not licensed for commercial use.
I always tell people this, but beware of solutions that emulate USB keyboards such as the Flirc. Keyboard support is solid in Android TV OS, but most TV app developers don't expect you to use a keyboard, and some common apps (I'm lookin at you, HULU) don't support keyboard input at all.
I know they released an official Control4 TCP/IP driver a few months back. Been waiting to see if it's possible to write a S+ module that can use the same method as the Control4 driver. I know nothing about Control4, though.
