A control system, or home automation system, is the perfect solution to this problem. It lets you use one device to control all of the systems in your home – entertai
nment, lighting, security and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) – so you can enjoy comfort, luxury and peace of mind without having to think about operating multiple control panels or switches.

Crestron
Crestron Home Automation Systems
A modern, efficient home uses the latest technology, including the most innovative entertainment, lighting, temperature control and security systems. With so much equipment installed, it can be hard to keep track of all the switches and remotes you need to operate everything. Why not replace them with a home automation system, or control system, and manage your videos, TV, music, lighting, heating, air conditioning and security with just one interface?

Currently, we’re installing Crestron systems at Queens Court in St John’s Woods, one of London’s most affluent neighbourhoods.
Crestron Integration with Home Entertainment Systems
With a Crestron home automation system, you can watch TV or listen to music, adjust the lighting and climate and lower the curtains to reduce glare all without getting up from your chair. Turn on the TV in one room, video games in another and music in the third. Operate everything in every room from one touchscreen, remote, PC, MAC, laptop, Android, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Customised, preprogrammed ‘scenes’ give you total control over your environment. In the morning, lights turn on automatically, the TV switches on and the heating warms up. When you leave for work and when you go to bed, with one touch of a button, lights go off, heating is lowered, doors are locked and alarms are activated. Avoid fumbling in the dark by programming hallway lights to turn on when you pass.
Schedule repetitive tasks in advance. Lower energy consumption by presetting temperatures and preprogramming light setting. For optimal sunlight exposure, lower and raise curtains in different rooms at different times of day. Crestron lets you keep track of your energy use so you can learn how to reduce your carbon footprint.
Download a Crestron mobile app to your smartphone and operate all of your technology even when you are away. When returning from a long trip, you don’t need to come back to a cold, silent home. Turn up the thermostat and switch on your favourite TV program or your favourite music before you step through the front door.
Simplify your life with a control system from Crestron.
KNX
More convenience, more safety, higher energy savings: The demand for building management systems is continuously increasing.
Whether in a single-family house or in an office complex, the demand for comfort and versatility in the management of air-conditioning, lighting and access control systems is growing. At the same time, the efficient use of energy is becoming increasingly important. More convenience and safety coupled with lower energy consumption can however only be achieved by intelligent control and monitoring of all products involved. This however implies more wiring, running from the sensors and actuators to the control and monitoring centres. Such a mass of wiring in turn means higher design and installation effort, increased fire risk and soaring costs.
