At CEDIA® Expo 2022, Crestron Electronics will demonstrate the tremendous investment and developments made to the Crestron Home® OS platform, the premier smart home operating system, by bringing it to connected home professionals. Since its debut, the award-winning Crestron Home OS has continued to expand with hundreds of updates, interoperability with industry-leading partners, and is continuing to provide market-leading solutions that curate unique and bespoke environments to maximize how we live, work, and enjoy our homes
“CEDIA Expo will be the first time many home technology professionals have had a chance to experience Crestron Home first-hand at a major tradeshow. Crestron Home has reimagined the way dealers approach the installation and configuration process of highly coveted Crestron systems while maintaining the customized control that homeowners demand,” said John Clancy, Executive VP, Residential, Crestron. “As a result, Crestron Home is a platform that can scale with any project and deliver the same bespoke Crestron experience everyone expects.”
The entire Crestron booth is powered by the Crestron Home OS: every demo and every solution.
“We are at CEDIA Expo to emphasize our deep commitment to providing solutions that our dealers can build their business on,” noted Clancy. “Crestron Home is the core of the connected smart home and is a powerful solution that we continue to encourage home technology professionals to take advantage of.”
Designed for the Pros
Crestron Home is continuously evolving to empower dealers to take their projects to new heights and address feedback from their experiences in the field. At CEDIA Expo, Crestron will demonstrate many new approaches that dealers can take to maximize the benefits of the Crestron Home OS, including simple integrations with the latest product launches, like the 4-Series™ DIN Rail Control System for Crestron Home® OS, which aligns to a major update bringing multiprocessor support to the Crestron Home platform. Dealers will also have the opportunity to get hands-on demos with other new products, such as Crestron Network Power Controllers that work with the OS Device Health Dashboard, the latest security integrations from new partners, and much more.
Crestron will also highlight new ways for home technology professionals to take advantage of the business opportunities presented in large Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) projects. Crestron Home is the most secure and complete platform for these properties, whether completing one unit or hundreds. Crestron Home simplifies the deployment of replicating units, offers easy ways for clients to upgrade, and brings seamless integration for unique management and experiences such as calling the valet or admitting guests.
There are a number of classes during Expo, including An Introduction to Crestron Home, to get company owners, sales teams, and technicians up to speed on Crestron Home. Attendees at CEDIA Expo can also register for How to Customize Crestron Home for Your Clients to learn more about how their business could benefit from adding Crestron Home to their portfolio.
The BEST Personalized Control for Lighting and Health & Wellness
This year, Crestron has rolled out brand-new LED Light Fixtures that deliver human-centric lighting for every lifestyle and application. Crestron will show personalized lighting control for Circadian Rhythm, Crestron SolarSync® integration to regulate indoor lighting to match the intensity, and color control to accentuate art and lifestyle spaces. Crestron’s class on Fully Tunable LED Lighting Powered by Crestron Home OS will help dealers get up to speed on the burgeoning market.
Additionally, Crestron will demonstrate how the Crestron Home OS enables a homeowner to control both Crestron and third-party devices and systems such as lighting, HVAC, energy management, and air purification s to create their perfect Oasis. Attendees will be able to see how these various solutions, when controlled via a single platform, can accentuate the home and enhance everyday lifestyles. Crestron Home brings an end-to-end control and configuration solution that brings in partner technologies which will be explored further in the session, Health & Wellness in the Home – A Technology Overview with Kelly Eager of Delos.
An Evolving Ecosystem of Third-Party Devices
Crestron offers a vast product library that works natively with Crestron Home, but they are far from the only products that can be controlled through a Crestron Home System. As an open ecosystem that includes Crestron solutions and thousands of third-party devices, there is no end to how far you can customize the home. Throughout the booth, Crestron will showcase a host of new third-party integrations, from kitchen appliances, door entry solutions, NFT artwork, energy management, keypads, and so much more. A complete list of all available integrations can be found on the “Works with Crestron Home” page.
Attendees can find Crestron at CEDIA Expo in booth 16017. Crestron is also hosting a full schedule of training. Get more information at www.crestronhome.com.
