Why Crestron Is Our Number One Choice for Home Automation Systems
CRESTRON HOME AUTOMATION LEADS THE PACK IN WHOLE-HOME SOLUTIONS, RELIABILITY, AND CUSTOMIZATION
Today’s homeowners have no lack of options for adding automation and smart technology to their homes. But even as more DIY and professionally installed solutions flood the market, Crestron Electronics has continued to produce some of the most refined, flexible, customizable, and reliable home control systems in the industry.
Crestron was founded in 1971 and is considered the grandfather of home automation. After 50 years, Crestron systems are still best-of-class solutions for distributed AV, lighting and shading control, climate control, and more for homes and estates of all sizes. The release of Crestron Home OS 4 in 2023 opened new opportunities for flexibility and end-user control in Crestron’s product suite.
As a proud Crestron dealer in the greater Reno, NV and Truckee, CA areas, we recommend Crestron systems to our clients who are interested in bringing home automation to their lifestyle. Keep reading to learn why.

A COMPLETE HOME SOLUTION
Crestron operates on a “vertically integrated” model, which means the company owns and controls all aspects of the product offerings, from design to manufacturing to selling. For context, Apple is a well-known organization that benefits from a vertically integrated model. The company designs and manufactures hardware (like iPhones and tablets), creates compatible software, and sells the entire Apple experience in its retail stores.
Crestron works similarly by making and selling a complete suite of automation products. With a Crestron system, you can have distributed AV, lighting control, shading control, and climate control — all under the Crestron brand.
Why is this superior to other control systems? First, Crestron devices are designed to work seamlessly together in a single ecosystem, ensuring that your smart home operates smoothly. Second, Crestron systems can be built and 100% personalized to your unique home needs. As your Crestron dealer, Sierra Integrated Systems can design custom programming and custom interfaces so that you can interact with your home the way you want.
MORE END-USER CONTROL
In 2023, Crestron launched the Crestron Home OS 4 operating system, which builds upon Crestron’s automation suite and offers more end-user control over home technologies. Crestron OS 4 features a modern, sleek interface, improved performance, enhanced integration with the latest smart home technologies, and advanced security measures compared to Crestron OS 3. It also offers easier customization, better voice control, and more seamless updates and support
With Crestron Home, you can control all your entertainment systems, lights, motorized shades, smart thermostats, security, and more by using a smartphone app, touchscreen tablet, or a custom wall keypad. Create personalized scenes, customize room interfaces, and change the status of any device in your home with a single tap. The Crestron Home app is incredibly user-friendly and allows you to check on your home and make changes no matter where you are in the world.
AN INDUSTRY-LEADING WARRANTY
Crestron’s five-year warranty covers Crestron-branded electronic components and is already the best in the industry. The Crestron Flex Care Plan also provides speedy replacement of non-working electronics. If your equipment stops working, make one phone call to Crestron, and the company will ship you a replacement part within three days. That’s it — no long waits or forms required. Just peace of mind knowing that your smart home will be up and running again as soon as possible.
