Imagine Yourself Living in a Crestron Home

Smart homes powered by Crestron anticipate the homeowners’ needs throughout the day, creating seamless experiences that feel like magic. Here are a few examples:

Good Morning

Imagine starting your morning as soft light gradually fills your bedroom, synchronized with the sunrise. As you stir awake, the system automatically adjusts your home’s temperature to your preferred morning setting and gently raises the motorized shades to welcome natural daylight. Your favorite morning playlist begins playing through hidden speakers at just the right volume.

Host with the Most

When hosting dinner parties, a single tap on your touchscreen or mobile device transforms the entire entertainment space. The system dims the lights to create an intimate ambiance, adjusts the temperature to accommodate additional guests, and activates subtle landscape lighting that highlights your garden’s architectural features. Your carefully curated dinner playlist streams through different audio zones, with perfect volume levels for conversation in the dining room and more upbeat energy in the kitchen.

Entertaining

For movie nights with the family, pressing “Movie Time” orchestrates a complete theater experience. The media room’s lights fade to dark while subtle LED strips provide just enough illumination for safety. The projector warms up as the screen descends, and your surround sound system automatically calibrates to the perfect viewing settings. Meanwhile, the system ensures you won’t be disturbed by adjusting the doorbell to silent mode and redirecting security camera alerts to your phone.

Goodnight

As evening winds down, your home prepares for night mode. The system gradually dims interior lights while ensuring exterior security lights maintain optimal brightness. Temperature adjusts to your preferred sleeping conditions, and all entertainment systems power down. Any unlocked doors are secured automatically, and your security system arms itself, giving you peace of mind as you drift off to sleep.

Looking to the Future

The luxury home market continues to evolve, with technology playing an increasingly central role in how homeowners experience their spaces. Crestron’s commitment to innovation and backward compatibility ensures that the homes you build today will remain current and capable of incorporating future technologies.
