“your smart home - just what is involved”
A modern home will undoubtedly these days have a number of systems to create a comfortable and enjoyable living space ???
Lighting and heating have been the core of every home for many years however today they are often joined by a whole host of other options such as air conditioning, gate video entry, multiroom audio, automated blinds, media rooms, home cinemas and tv entertainment to name a few. On the entertainment side its common to end up with multiple remotes, a home automation system reduces all these remotes into one convenient control system, with simple operation either by a touchscreen or mobile device. For convenience all your other home controls are on the same platform making it very easy to adjust the lighting whilst watching a movie for example.
Its all about making your home enjoyable and simple to use .. introducing Crestron Home
“heating and cooling”
In most properties we work on air conditioning is now standard. So now we have two sets of controls for the room’s comfort …. heating and cooling. It makes sense that the two shouldn’t operate together, so a Crestron Home system incorporates these controls together making sure this doesn’t happen. A simple temperature dial for heating or cooling couldn’t be easier
“networking”
This aspect of your smart home is crucial and no cutbacks allowed !! it really is the heart of your home, each sub system relies on communicating to the Crestron Home platform via the data network. We specify networking components that not only do the job, but are “on top of doing the job”. Quality components will pay dividends, you rely on your network far more than you think so choosing components with excess processing power makes sure your network is running smoothly rather than just trying to keep up
“media rooms and home cinemas”
Most media rooms and home cinemas will be made up of a few different video and audio devices and it is not uncommon to end up with 5 plus remotes to deal with ! This can often lead to confusion to even turn the systems on. Crestron Home simplifies this greatly, just select your source, TV, SKY, Apple TV and the system automatically turns on the right device, selects the correct inputs and all you have to do is choose your volume and select your programme .. couldn’t be easier
“multi-room audio”
Imagine you have guests arriving, the room is decorated, temperature is set, food is prepared, what better what to create that perfect ambience than with some soft music on their arrival. Multiroom audio often refers to background audio and might be installed in the main ground floor living speakers with audio often delivered to the room via ceiling speakers. Once again in Crestron Home you can simply choose the room then decide the music to play. All compatible with todays audio streaming services or let guests bring use their own device and connect via Apple Airplay.
“video gate entry”
Security is paramount and video gate entry often forms part of that. The video entry system can be integrated into Crestron Home so that once call button is pressed the callers image, in clear 1080P video resolution, appears on the Crestron touchscreens. You can have two way communication with the caller and then choose whether to open/release gates. In addition when its night time we can trigger further outdoor lighting whenever the gates are opened for a real welcome !
