Less Is More: Crestron’s Universal App Control

These days, just about anything you can control with a remote control, you can do with a mobile app. Crestron’s revolutionary iPad and iPhone apps mean no more having to keep multiple remotes or open multiple apps to control a single device.  All you need is one app that controls all of your home’s devices. With the 2014 introduction to Crestron Pyng, home automation has become that much more convenient and simple.

The On-Going Trend in Home Automation System Controls

Over the years, the  hottest trend when it comes to controlling home entertainment devices is the mobile app. Every electronic device for your home typically comes with an app of its own. And, in most cases, these apps give you much more efficient control over many devices than their original remotes, devices such as:

• TVs
• Blu-ray players
• A/V receivers
• Media devices
• Home lighting
• Heating & A/C
• Home security systems   

With so many electronic devices, any typical home could be looking at 7 or more handheld remote controls or 7 or more independent mobile apps. With independent apps,  you have to  switch from one app to the next to move from music to movies to lighting and so one. This is inconvenient for any homeowner.

With Crestron Mobile Pro, it gives homeowners the power to control all of  their home devices, using a single, universal iPad or iPhone app.
