Expert Programming
It’s the comprehensive programming behind Crestron’s home automation systems that makes them stand out more than anything else. Certified dealers have to go through extensive training to learn how to create custom solutions. With the freedom offered through Crestron’s open-ended software, dealers can design solutions tailor-made to fit your family’s needs from the type of technology you want to include to how you want to manage it.
Built From the Ground Up
Crestron also provides all the manufacturing components for its systems. They offer smart thermostats, speakers, AV receivers—anything you may need. Since all products have been specifically designed to work within a Crestron system, your dealer can create more reliable solutions. It’s also easy to expand in the future since you know right away which products are compatible. Crestron even ensures that new releases work with legacy products, so clients don’t have to make any upgrades unless they want to.
Extensive Compatibility
Crestron is also compatible with more smart devices than any other automation company. There are two reasons that dealers like being able to incorporate non-Crestron products. For one, clients like being able to use their favorite brands instead of having to replace them with items they’re not accustomed to using. For certain areas, it may also be prudent to go with specialized brands instead of relying on Crestron. A great example has to do with home audio. While Crestron offers great audio solutions, true audiophiles will want to use speakers and amplifiers from trusted brands like Sonance and Marantz.
Mobile App Integration
Crestron’s mobile app is one of the best in the market for a variety of reasons. One is the open-ended programming we mentioned earlier, allowing dealers to design a custom user interface. On your mobile app, you can prioritize the systems and rooms you use most. Their smart graphics are also popular for older clients, as they’re easier to read than traditional icons.
One of our favorite things about the Crestron app is the ability to access third-party apps. If you’re controlling your media room using your smartphone, you don’t have to exit the Crestron app to access Netflix or Pandora; simply pull them up within the Crestron app. This makes it easier to set up your favorite entertainment in a matter of seconds.
