Crestron is a high-end luxury brand that brings a quality over quantity approach to smart homes, founded in 1971 by engineer George Feldstein in Rockleigh, New Jersey. They have been in the industry for almost 50 years and with that comes years of refinement, aptitude and innovation.

 

Crestron was working on audiovisual before home automation became so mainstream. Over the years they’ve evolved their offering into a full range of smart home possibilities.

​

The Crestron home automation system itself is highly complex and therefore requires an approved installer to properly install the home automation system. As a result of this complexity, more bespoke solutions are available when compared to Control4 or Savant for example.

 

Crestron is designed to cater to any smart home requirements and is the best smart home system for custom setups no matter how specific or creative they may be.

 

Crestron is notably more expensive than other brands too but this is because of the better quality hardware on offer, making it an extremely powerful option for smart home projects. Due to its complexity and custom programming capabilities, it does mean that a Crestron home automation system can take longer to install than other systems.
