Smart Home Solutions ◆ Australia

It’s a beautiful Australian three-bedroom luxury apartment, and the Crestron system here brought together several previously unconnected automation systems to deliver one interface with control of virtually everything, from lighting and motorised blinds to heated floors and air conditioning. But it was one special request from the owner, and the solution from SHS, which impressed Crestron’s judges. With the client requiring hearing augmentation, the multizone music system is delivered not only through conventional speakers but also via concealed in-floor hearing loops located in each of the music zones. These deliver not only selectable music sources but also TV audio in each of the AV areas. The touchscreen/iPad interfaces then deliver a multiple access simple-to-operate solution that changes seamlessly as the owner walks from room to room, without any interference from other zones.
