From their website:
You don't need multiple remotes just to watch television, or a wall filled with switches and knobs that takes you three tries to find the right light. Take control of your home with just one button press from a sleek Crestron touchpanel, designer engraved keypad or your iPad™, iPhone® or iPod® touch. Select a movie to watch or music to enjoy from your favorite chair. Adjust your lights, shades, temperature and check on your alarm system without getting out of bed. The comfort and convenience of the ultimate technology lifestyle can be yours. The possibilities are endless, whatever you can imagine Crestron can do.
When it comes to home automation and universal remote controls there are a lot of options out there these days. Here at Reference Media we have experienced many generations of this technology and witnessed several new companies making their bid for a share of the market. Many of these companies have started out doing smaller applications of their wares only to scramble to keep up with the rapid advances in home entertainment and automation that are occurring in the industry today. We have happily settled on Crestron for all our home automation and universal remote control needs. They have a long standing history of doing large scale industrial and commercial installations and have now taken their vast experience and superior products into the world of consumer electronics.
In the past we focused on sound and video quality as our priority rather than fixating on control of the sources. It was not yet cost effective to integrate a universal remote or automation into a home entertainment system. Now that Crestron has brought their years of experience and R&D to the world of consumer electronics home automation has become more affordable and reliable than ever. Crestron offers the user complete customization of controls without sacrificing quality or affordability.
When we decided to carry Crestron they had us attend their training seminar and we also have our own programmer on staff to help us get your automation integrated easily into your home and entertainment system. Our programmer, Mikael, loves working with Crestron products for many reasons. They are nothing but reliable, they are completely customizable allowing you to control anything from offices to living rooms including lighting and climate, and they can be controlled through a dedicated Crestron remote, your smart phone or tablet, or even an interactive multi-display touch screen monitor. Even our accountant, Amber, loves Crestron because they give you everything you want “at the touch of a button.”
In addition to their seamless integration, ease of use and reliability Crestron products are completely designed, engineered, and manufactured in the U.S.A.! They are also setting new standards within the industry for “Green” practices and not only at their own facilities. They are leading a new wave of energy consumption tracking and control that will allow consumers to chart and customize their energy use for themselves! We only offer products that we can stand behind here at Reference Media and Crestron is rock solid. Stop by for some literature about their new products and “Green” programs or visit their website.
