The Benefits of Upgrading from Crestron to a Crestron Smart Home

Crestron Home Offers Effortless Control and User Customizations

Crestron has been around for over 50 years and has set itself apart in automation, becoming well-known for the extensive customizations available in a Crestron smart home. Unfortunately, those customizations, while ideal for massive estates and superyachts, left a little to be desired regarding the user experience. 

Then came Crestron Home. Now, you can upgrade to this user-friendly platform and enjoy a better app experience, essentially fixing the issues and everything you hated about the Crestron system!

Let’s explore the differences and what they mean to Houston, TX, homeowners.

The New User Interface

Crestron Home was designed to offer a better user experience. This intention was magnified in August 2023 when they delivered an abundance of new features with the Crestron Home OS 4. This system provides the missing puzzle pieces, including a more intuitive experience, personalization, and entertainment. It also offers more ways to manage your lighting and enables control of any third-party lighting device. This third-party integration also extends to thousands of other smart devices. 

The user experience integrates new graphics, layouts, and icons with larger, easily readable text. You can see your entire home more clearly with stunning image views and enhanced filters. Each room view quickly shows you which devices are on or if the shades are open. Check the ‘Access’ to ensure the garage doors and gates are closed and the doors are locked. Increase the temperature of the pool and turn on the spa with one touch.

Customization Made Easy

While Crestron offers extensive customization, it requires the skills of an expert programmer. Crestron Home lets you customize schedules, automated tasks, and events with no limits and no need for a call to the dealer. You can even customize every smart system in each individual room or the entire home. You can also easily access your frequently used actions.

This customization includes your lighting, enabling you to create scenes and change the color and intensity of your lights or synchronize them to match the color of the changing light outside. For instance, set a ‘Relax’ scene, and the lights transform to soft blues and indigo while your relaxing playlist streams through your home.

Whole-Home Paging

Any room with a touchscreen becomes accessible, letting you use it as an intercom. Searching for the kids? Make an announcement to the entire home or select one or two rooms. And you can still manage your house from a keypad and remote as well as the mobile app.

Managing Your Smart Home Effortlessly

Crestron Home lets you manage your smart home from one easy-to-use intelligent platform, from lighting to motorized shades, audio, video, thermostats, and security. Are you ready to upgrade to Crestron Home?
