Smart automation can enhance just about every aspect of your home, from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night – and every hour in between. But just because it does so much, that doesn’t mean smart home control has to be complicated and unwieldy. A strong control system from the experts at Crestron is exactly what you’ll need to make staying in command of everything your home has to offer. Whether you are hoping to keep your family safe, want endless hours of entertainment or simply want to stay comfortable and energy efficient, Crestron has the solution for your home. Read on to find out how smart control can take your home to the next level.

Enhance Security and Entertainment

It’s no secret that most homeowners come to smart automation for two reasons: to increase their home’s security, or to enhance their home entertainment. And while smart home control allows you to do so much more, there’s no denying that these are two of the most fun.

A surveillance system that streams 4K video directly to you in real time can help you keep track of everything going on around your property at any given time. Add to that some motion-sensing outdoor lights and you’ll stay in-the-know anytime, day and night. Such additions will help you and your family feel safer and more secure than ever before.

And there’s no better way to while away the day than in your own dedicated home theater. Imagine being able to turn off the overhead lights, lower the screen and projector from the ceiling and play your favorite summer blockbuster in 4K resolution with 8-channel, in-wall surround sound. Now imagine doing all of that with just one button. With smart home control by Crestron, total command is at your fingertips.

When considering how to design your home theater, it’s important to remember that it’s about more than simply picking out the biggest screen and the most comfortable seating. Home theater design is really about creating a space in your Henderson, NV home where you can relax and enjoy the latest movies, sports and music. Whether you’re alone or with your family and friends the space should recreate the experience of a commercial theater in your house. Take a look at some of the things you should watch out for when planning your ideal home theater integration project.

Seating is Key

Home theater design is all about getting the most out of your equipment, no matter the size of your space. An often overlooked aspect of planning is actually one of the most important first steps: selecting seating. Do you want a big comfy couch? That may make family time more special, but it won’t serve your theater very well. Want a whole bunch of space between your chairs? The placement will drastically affect your viewing angle and the size of your screen. And those high-backed leather recliners? Those can hamper the effect of your surround sound system and reflect light back at the screen.

You see, what you choose to do with your seating is not just an afterthought – it should be part of the design process from day one!

Your Screen Makes a Big Difference

A lot like insurance, a home security system is one of those things you buy and hope never to use. Maybe you invested in a security system for peace of mind or to protect your property. All valid reasons, yet a home security system can do more than just keep you and your family safe. Read on to learn how security solutions can enhance your Las Vegas, Nevada home.

Stay connected to your home from anywhere

Whether you are at home or away, you will be able to keep a virtual eye on your primary residence, vacation home or your office using your smartphone, PC or tablet. Thanks to the power of remote control services, you’ll receive important alerts about activities occurring in and around your home or office. Got four-legged friends at home? View live, streaming video to ensure the safety, health and comfort of your pets. Plus receive a text message when the dog walker or pet sitter arrives and when they leave. The system is easy to operate and provides you the convenience of locking and unlocking doors right from your smart device. No more getting locked out when you misplace or forget your keys.

Prevent disasters before they happen

Environmental sensors can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements to detect flooding, leaks, and extreme temperatures—helping to minimize the risk of dangerous conditions and damage to your home and valuables.

Most things around you are pretty intelligent. Your phone is smart. Your kids are smart. Why not your home? Transform your Henderson, Nevada house with smart home control so that life becomes more convenient, safe and almost worry-free. In this edition of our blog we’ll cover three ways a smart home can keep you and your family safe, add convenience, and save you time.

No More Fumbling with Keys

Doors sitting on hinges aren’t all the clever, but there’s something we can do to change that. Wireless door locks add incredible convenience to your home and when integrated with a Crestron® control system, allow doors to be locked and unlocked from any touch screen in the house or remotely using your smart phone. No more leaving keys under door mats or waiting around for service providers because with a simple tap of a button you can lock or unlock doors to let people into your home.

Turn Dumb Devices into Smart Ones

A smart home puts you in control like the conductor of an orchestra so that various devices work together to perform a symphony. By teaching your connected objects to work together, your smart home can automatically react to your routines and preferences. Automate lights to turn on as you move throughout your house, trigger the coffee maker to start brewing the moment you wake up, and start your day off on the right foot.
