Control
This house features a combination of Crestron wired and wireless touch screens and in wall lighting keypads. In addition, there is a one-page app for iPhone that allows users to adjust the pool control from 20°C to 26°C and turn on the hot water cylinder/underfloor heater remotely. On top of this, there is a display that shows the water level in both irrigation and potable water tanks.

Crestron Sonnex is primarily used to distribute and amplify audio, including over ten sources of stereo audio distributed across 12 zones. The myriad of speakers around the house consists of:
1. In-ceiling custom wood grain painted speakers
2. In-wall & in-ceiling sub-woofers
3. Discrete large-format Rock speakers
The video distribution system uses a Crestron Digital Media 8x 8 matrix to distribute high-definition video to all displays. All TV zones have access to all Crestron Digital Media sources. Whenever a source is watching by another user, a message is displayed beside the selectable source button, helping you to know what is currently in use or to watch different sources together in different rooms.
