Last year, we rolled out a major update to our smart home platform with the introduction of Crestron Home® OS 4.
And now we’ve made the world's most powerful smart home software even better.
The Crestron Home platform’s latest update includes dozens of new features that make the system smarter than ever — and a big one of those features is conditional logic. These conditional sequences introduce the ability to create “if-then, else” statements to the automation process, giving dealers the ability to create complex and nuanced automation scenarios with a defined set of conditions that must be met before an action is triggered.
“For example, a sunset sequence could be created so that if the light sensor in the living room falls below 30%, the living room's lights rise to 80%,” explains Michael Short, Crestron’s senior director of marketing operations and residential. That transition can be made gradually so that the shift into a warm and inviting ambiance is hardly noticeable (more on that in a moment).
“A multi-trigger sequence could also be introduced so that when, say, a movie streaming source is selected, the system ‘knows’ to dim the lights, close the blinds, and adjust the speaker volume for the best viewing experience,” says Short. Because it’s all been made easier in the latest Crestron Home OS update, dealers can quickly and efficiently customize those functions to the client’s preferences.
