Home technology professionals can now create lifestyle scenes for each room, schedule events, and much more right from an iPad®. The whole house can be ready in minutes without ever opening a laptop.

Setting up a new home is streamlined by pairing Crestron Pyng accessories with the app.

Accessories include Crestron wireless lighting controls, shading solutions, thermo-stats, and Yale® wireless door locks, as well as security systems.

Unlike home automation apps that control one device, or offer limited, “DIY-level” per-formance, Crestron Pyng controls the same award-winning Crestron professional prod-ucts found in the world’s most prestigious homes.

Control4 Composer Express is a powerful mobile configuration app for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets that dramatically simplifies and accelerate the set-up process for home automation installations.

Using Composer Express, a technician can now configure most one-room home theaters in very short order, or set up hundreds of devices in the most complex whole-home installations in a few hours using their WiFi-enabled tablet or smartphone and simply walking around the project and assigning them into a system.

Composer Express uses Simple Device Discovery Protocol (SDDP), Control4’s powerful Internet-Of-Things discovery protocol, to automatically discover all SDDP-enabled products on the network and lets the technician integrate them into the system with a single touch. Composer Express also provides easy access to an online library of thousands of third-party products (receivers, TVs, security panels, cameras, and more) and ZigBee devices (light switches, dimmers, door locks, thermostats, and sensors, and more), so that a broad range of devices can be seamlessly connected.

New Sivoia QS Triathlon shades are the most fashionable, flexible, and affordable motorized shades available today. These new shades offer: • Convenience - they are battery powered with a

battery life of 3 - 5 years and they are remote con-trolled, which means they are perfect for hard to reach windows. Now, they even work with Lutron’s new mobile app so they can be controlled from any-where in the world.

• Flexibility - they work with Pico wireless controls and they also seamlessly integrate with Lutron’s home control systems, like HomeWorks QS and Ra-dioRA2, for total light control at the touch of a button.

• Security - they work with the timeclock functionality on Lutron’s apps to automatically adjust shades at pre-programmed times of the day.

• Style - they come in a wide variety of colors and tex-tures, each hand-picked to fit today’s design needs for any space.

One thing most people don’t know about our system is that it offers “instant digital response”. This means that it offers immediate reliable response to RF system com-mands.

The shades return to Eco Mode when they are not in use in order to preserve power and minimize vampire loads. Often times, other RF, battery powered systems are con-stantly “listening”, which can drain the battery, or cause false responses to other RF signals in the space.
