This Crestron installation also received both the CEDIA ‘Best Integrated Home over $500,000’ and ‘Best Media Room’ awards earlier in 2011.

The project covered many facets of our industry, the most important being automation. Everything from door locks, window reed switches, floor heating, air-conditioning control and distributed audio and video were to be integrated. Ease of control and product control was the number one priority.

Quality content was also high on the list of priorities so a Sooloos Music server & Kaleidescape Blu-Ray movie server with 3 zone players was used. This was all distributed with the Crestron Digital Media™ system to 9 zones of vision & 22 zones of audio.

In one particular zone we have used a 103" Panasonic Plasma built into a joinery unit along with Speakers from Krell & Velodyne, this makes for an entertainers delight. This room has electronic doors which from one touch on the Crestron screen opens up to a large terrace area.

The backyard & pool areas also incorporate a James Audio sound system which includes 2 X underground subs & 16 X Satellite speakers all controlled from a waterproof Crestron remote.

In terms of security, Crestron have incorporated 15 X fixed cameras & 1 X Panasonic PTZ camera with a 300x zoom to the Crestron Digital Media™ system so any camera can be viewed at any location via the Crestron touch screens and plasma/LCD displays. Via the touch screens, the user can monitor internal PIR status which changes state when movement is detected. The status of windows, doors and gates is also displayed here.

A PC Aqualine pool control system was used, and this system was also integrated into the Crestron system, providing full control of all pool functions (water temp, air temp, filter on/off etc.), heater on/off, spa on/off, water feature on/off were also controlled via the Crestron touch screens.

All Windows include reed switches which are monitored on the Crestron touch screens. All Doors include reed switches which are monitored on the Crestron touch screens and electronic locks were utilised on all external doors (12 in total).
