The demand for homes is higher than ever, and luxury homeowners want more than just a beautiful, upscale property — they also want the added convenience that smart technology brings to their lives. Home automation systems make it easy for homeowners to control their technology from a centralized interface. Here’s why builders should consider including a Crestron installation in their Los Angeles, CA area projects.

Convenient Control

Make it easy for clients to control the technology in their homes with a centralized home automation system. Smart shading, security, AV devices, lighting, and HVAC systems can all be connected to a Crestron system for easy management. Instead of sorting through a pile of remotes, clients simply pull out their phones and open the Crestron Home app with a tap. Or, if they prefer voice control systems like Alexa or Google Home, they can speak a command for hands-free control of their smart technology.

Customization

Crestron home automation makes it easy to customize and personalize a client’s systems around their unique needs. Clients adjust their smart technology using an intuitive interface on a smartphone app or a stylish touch control panel. The integrator you partner with can lay out device groups, rooms, and scenes — a series of actions that happen simultaneously with the push of a button — based on your client’s preferences. If your client wants to incorporate Crestron products directly into the space, the colors, textures, and fabrics of those products can be personalized to match the room’s design and décor.

Unprecedented Home Entertainment

Homeowners enjoy more movies and TV shows at home than ever, especially as new releases go straight to streaming services. Crestron takes home entertainment further with Crestron Digital Media. Clients can stream Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) music from popular streaming services or their own personal collection over a whole-home audio system, create different listening zones both inside and outside the home, and play different music in different spaces. If your client is a movie lover, 4K audio and video can be distributed to any room in the home with the press of a button.

Adding a Crestron installation to a build is a meaningful way to differentiate a property and give clients technology they’ll actually use every day. It’s worth bringing in an experienced Crestron integrator early in the build process, so wiring and infrastructure decisions are made with the finished system in mind.
