Automation & Integration

Sound & Vision and Crestron automation streamlines and simplifies all the technology in your home offering convenience and control of otherwise complex operations. Crestron's award-winning solutions eliminate the need to walk from room to room to adjust drapes, lights, temperature, and audio/video components. From a color touchpanel, handheld remote or a customized keypad, total home control can always be nearby

You can dim the lights, close the shades, turn on the plasma TV and begin your favorite movie with just a single touch. Just don’t forget the popcorn and soda.

Sound & Vision home automation is not just for the Theater. In fact that is only the tip of the iceberg. (In case you didn’t know, only 10% of an iceberg is above water.) Crestron controls also can control all of the lighting in your home. Lighting sets the perfect scene and creates the desired ambience for any occasion. Whether it's movie night, an intimate dinner for two, a business party or a quiet Sunday brunch reading the newspaper, lighting establishes the right mood. Traveling out of town or working late? The lights can execute pre-programmed scenes to simulate established lifestyle patterns. Dimmers can adjust internal lighting according to natural light levels in the home or incrementally over a pre-determined time period Lighting control can also help you to use less electricity. By giving you feedback on where lights are on around the house, you can turn them on or off from a local control and not waste resources. In addition, if you are very Green conscious, sensors can provide a new level of automation by intelligently knowing if someone is in a room and controlling the lights appropriately. No more getting after the Kids to turn off the lights!

You can have control over multiple zones of heating and cooling from any touchpanel in the home. Easily pre-set temperature set points, and keep your home at a more energy efficient temperature while you're out, automatically adjusting to more comfortable levels by the time you get home. Getting home early? Use your iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC to control the HVAC remotely, even monitor the wine cellar or greenhouse atrium temperatures.

Having Sound & Vision integrate Crestron automation into the house security systems can allow greater flexibility in how you use them. Monitor the front door or gate; watch the kids by the swimming pool; or check on the baby napping in the nursery. You can control security cameras and watch what's going on around the house right from your Crestron touchpanel as well as from anywhere in the world with internet access.

Sound & Vision intercom solutions provide for the ultimate integration of whole-house AV, video security and voice communications. While listening to your favorite music or watching a DVD in the home theater, you'll know the instant someone rings the doorbell or enters the driveway as the audio is gently muted, the camera picture appears on the Crestron touchpanel or local television, and you're able to speak with the visitor and grant access to your home at the simplest press of a button.

Crestron automation and Sound & Vision also allows you to integrate your audio and video into the same controls that you use for all of the other systems in your home. Enjoy music throughout the entire home or in just the room you choose with distributed audio. Experience a movie with digital surround sound. Listen to your music while you read in the den while the kids play video games in the media room and your spouse listens to the radio on the terrace. Control the music of your life from any room in the house – no need to walk to the stereo to choose a component, insert an iPod, select a CD, change tracks or adjust volume. Relax. You deserve it

Imagine what Sound & Vision and Crestron systems can bring to your life.
