As the home automation industry continues to evolve with product advancements and integration technologies, ACS is here to bring our expertise to you! (And when we say “here,” we mean with offices in New York, California and Florida, with experience in every state in between.) We want our blog to be your expert resource for products and services that will have the most impact on your projects and, for this edition, we want to present the advantages of working with an authorized Crestron Dealer.

Proudly Representing Crestron Everywhere
The new home automation systems are sometimes called “Smart Home” systems or “Integrated Systems.” Whatever the title, they are all referring to intuitive control of your home's subsystems, including audio/video, lighting, security, CCTV, motorized shades & drapes, pool/spa and more. Besides a consistent system-to-system look and feel which makes controlling your home easier, combining these subsystems into a unified control interface, such as a touch panel, also greatly eliminates wall clutter. Thermostats are hidden in closets or a mechanical room and backup security keypads and pool/spa controllers can likewise be hidden.

ACS is an authorized Crestron dealer and installer serving Metro NY (with a location in Westbury and offices in Manhattan), Southern California (from their Los Angeles location), South Florida (in Boca Raton, serving the Palm Beach, Broward & Miami/Dade counties) and anywhere else we’re needed. Our skilled engineers and technicians have Crestron certifications and are experts in installing and servicing Crestron home automation solutions, which means we can offer you Total Home Technology.

What is “Total Home Technology?”
Total Home Technology from Crestron streamlines and simplifies all the technology in your home, offering the ultimate lifestyle of comfort and convenience. Total control is always at your fingertips, whether from a user-friendly touch panel, remote or a customized keypad.

Crestron's Total Home Technology Solutions offer integrated lighting control and automation. Create the perfect mood for every event, be it movie night or a backyard dance party, with the touch of a button. Traveling? The lights can execute pre-programmed scenes so it appears as if someone is home.

Control the climate of your home and keep comfortable at all times by monitoring temperature and humidity levels automatically. With Crestron, you can control multiple zones from one location and easily pre-set temperature control in different rooms. You can use your smartphone, tablet or PC to control the HVAC system in your home while you’re away.

Take Charge of Your Entire Media Experience
With Crestron's Total Home Technology distributed audio, you can enjoy music throughout the entire home, or whichever room you choose. Listen to jazz in the living room while your significant other listens to country music in the kitchen and the kids listen to hip-hop on the patio.

Crestron puts you in complete control of your home cinema right from your theater seating. Tap your controller once and the lights dim, the shades close, the screen opens, the temperature adjusts, the AV components turn on, the inputs are selected, the volume is set, and the DVD begins to play. Crestron's Total Home Technology enables you to create the ultimate home theater experience.

Keep Aware when You’re Away
Crestron's audio and video intercom solutions provide for the ultimate integration of whole-home AV, video security, and voice communications. Monitor the front door, watch the kids by the swimming pool or check on the baby napping in the nursery. You can use your Crestron touch panel (or smartphone or mobile device) to control security cameras and monitor what is going on around the entire house.
