Crestron products are known throughout the world for their ability to control and automate systems like heating and air conditioning, lighting, audio, security, and more. The company is also a leader in video conferencing technology. You’ll find Crestron technology installed in homes, as well as in commercial spaces of all sizes and in a variety of industries. Crestron equipment can be purchased through a Crestron dealer, who can also design and install an entire residential or commercial system.
For most Crestron customers, the equipment has enough functionality already built into it to satisfy all of their needs. Right out of the box, Crestron equipment can help customers automate many common tasks, and also enable them to easily control a variety of systems. But certain customers want additional functionality from their Crestron systems or who want things to operate a little bit differently, and that’s when a Crestron dealer will need to bring in someone to provide Crestron programming.
A qualified Crestron programmer is someone who has been certified by Crestron to customize Crestron products in ways that are specific to the customer’s unique needs. A Crestron programmer is especially valuable when a customer wants to be able to control multiple systems within their home or building with a single interface. Through Crestron programming, it’s even possible to control multiple systems with the touch of a single button. For example, at the end of the day, a customer could touch the “shut down” button, and it will turn off the lights, adjust the thermostat, lower the shades, lock the doors, and arm the security system.
Crestron programming may also be necessary if a customer wants a customized user interface. Some customers aren’t content with the way the standard interfaces look or operate, so they will hire a Crestron programmer to make changes to an interface so it’s exactly how they want it.
Additionally, a Crestron programming company may need to be brought in if a customer has an older Crestron system that needs to be repaired, or if they want to integrate new technologies into the existing system. Not all Crestron programmers will work on existing systems, however. It can be difficult to find one that will touch a system that they didn’t originally program, or one with older hardware. Many Crestron programmers will suggest starting from scratch with an entirely new system. One company that does work on existing Crestron systems is AV Programming Associates. This company is headquartered in Nevada, but their programmers travel throughout the United States for Crestron programming projects of all types. The complete both residential and commercial projects, and are known for providing solutions to complex requests, as well as for their troubleshooting abilities.
