Installing Crestron in your property

Estimating what Crestron costs to install can be difficult. Buying equipment is only part of the cost. You also need to pay for installation. Even more than this, you also need to hire a good company to do this work too also. This is all key for any installation. From intelligent lighting and energy efficient home climate control to the latest innovations in home security, Crestron home automation installations can really take things to a whole new level for you.

Overseeing an upgrade

As the smart home industry continues to boom, homebuyers expect new houses and luxury apartments to include automated technology. In fact, 81% of buyers now indicate they’d be more likely to purchase homes with home control systems. Almost half (47%) of millennials already own smart home products, including automated lights, thermostats, and security devices. But what if you already live in a home that isn’t equipped with a home automation system? There are several ways to install an intelligent home system. These can be like Control4, Crestron, or Savant all without tampering with your house’s charm.

Taking on more control in your home

In addition to wired, there are many applications where wireless is the way to go. Many wireless devices can connect to a central home controller like Control4, Savant, or Crestron. Wi-Fi allows your technology to ‘communicate’ with each other. But you’ll need to ensure you have a strong network in every room. A smart home integrator like 1install Ireland enhances your network. They do so with Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi using the best wireless access points and switches.

Streamlining everything

It’s never too late to update your home lighting system, even in a house with existing wiring. Crestron offers partially or completely wireless whole-home lighting solutions that don’t require remodeling or rewiring your house. Crestron wireless dimmers work with your existing wiring and can be used for overhead lighting, table lamps, track lighting, spotlights, outdoor lighting, pool lighting and more. Control is simple with the smart device of your choice. You can dim and adjust your lights room-by-room or throughout the whole home with stylish keypads. All from a handheld remote, a touchscreen tablet, or an app on your smartphone.

If you’re embarking on a new build or major remodel, you also have the option to install a Crestron centralized wired system. We recommend contacting the team at Walbrandt during the design phase of your build. Our licensed professionals will design, engineer, install and program your system and wiring needs. For a sleek aesthetic that won’t intrude on your interior design, we can hide all your dimming modules and system components in an out-of-the-way closet. You can enjoy room-by-room or whole-home lighting control with the smart device of your choice.

Overall

Crestron lighting control systems are designed with your lifestyle needs in mind. One of the primary benefits of a Crestron solution is building custom scenes that automate your daily lighting routines. Are you the first one awake in your house on weekdays? Create a personalized “Wake Up” scene that activates with the touch of a button on your smartphone app when you get out of bed in the morning. Your bedside lamp turns on to a dim glow that’s bright enough to provide illumination but not so bright as to disturb your sleeping spouse.

Simultaneously, your overhead bathroom lighting turns on (also at a dim level to protect your eyes), track lighting in the hallway illuminates and the kitchen light comes on. Now you have a clear path to the kitchen after a quick shower. Also on where you start your day with a hot cup of coffee and a scroll through the morning’s news stories. One button press can turn off the bedroom and bathroom lights behind you. With Crestron, you and your family can create unlimited personalized scenes for all types of home lighting situations. Additionally, all Crestron lighting solutions integrate seamlessly with other Crestron systems. This is so you have one-touch control over lighting, audio/video, climate, security, outdoor entertainment and more.
