Control Your Home From Your iPhone

If you have a Crestron system installed in your home, you can now control Crestron your home automation systems from your iPhone.  In order to take advantage of the application, users must have a Crestron home automation system installed.  These systems allow for control of HVAC, lighting, blinds and security systems from your computer at the office and now, from your iPhone.  You specifically need to install Crestron’s SW-MOB-AI control module loaded in 2-Series controller in order to take advantage of the iPhone functionality.  Luckily, you don’t even need to know what that is - you can just have Simple Solutions Digitial in to set everything up for you on your iPhone and in your home. 

Imagine being able to program your lights to make it appear as if someone is home while you are on vacation.  Forget to turn off your air conditioning before leaving for the weekend?  Just pull out your iPhone and do it.  The energy-saving cost benefits of installing such a system will make it pay for itself over just a few years.  While you are saving money, you will also be reducing your carbon footprint.  Of course the big benefit is having a new toy to play with from your iPhone, but we won’t tell anyone if you don’t.

You can even control multiple locations from one iPhone.  Forget to turn out the lights in your office?  Turn them off while you are lying on the dock at your cottage or cabin.  Want the hydro off in your cottage?  Shut it down while driving home.  The benefits of this are endless. 

Crestron recommends that an authorised dealer upload the necessary control module to your Crestron system, even if you already have one installed.  Contact us today to get started!
