Control
This residence is equipped with a combination of Crestron wired and wireless touch screens, as well as in-wall lighting keypads. Furthermore, there exists a comprehensive one-page application for iPhone that enables users to remotely adjust the pool temperature from 20°C to 26°C and activate the hot water cylinder or underfloor heater. Additionally, a display is provided to monitor the water levels in both irrigation and potable water tanks.
Audio Visual system
Crestron Sonnex is primarily utilised for audio distribution and amplification, encompassing over ten sources of stereo audio distributed across twelve zones. The diverse array of speakers throughout the residence includes:
1. Custom wood grain-painted in-ceiling speakers
2. In-wall and in-ceiling subwoofers
3. Discrete large-format Rock speakers
The video distribution system employs a Crestron Digital Media 8x8 matrix to disseminate high-definition video to all displays. All television zones have access to all Crestron Digital Media sources. Whenever a source is being viewed by another user, a message is displayed adjacent to the selectable source button, facilitating the identification of the currently active source or enabling simultaneous viewing of different sources in separate rooms.
Home Cinema
An 8k screen, coupled with dual in-wall subwoofers and an in-wall/ceiling surround system.
Pool Control
Temperature monitoring, temperature setpoints, and swimming pool management can all be conveniently accessed from the Crestron touch panels and mobile application.
Hydronic Heating
Connected to the home automation system, a graphical floor plan of the house allows for simple hydronic heating control. This control can either be intuitively operated or automated via the alarm system.
Rack Monitoring and Remote Notifications
All devices in this project are monitored by our Liquid Automation monitoring system. This system promptly alerts Liquid Automation staff to any network disconnects or faults that occur throughout the system.
Network
The home network is highly comprehensive, providing connectivity to virtually all devices within the system.
* 9 Ruckus wireless internal/external access points
* HP switch equipment
Fire Detection, Security & Access Control
Throughout the house, an extensive fire and intruder detection system with integrated access control automation is in place. Upon opening any door, the alarm system is disarmed, and welcome home lights are activated. Additionally, the HVAC system is turned on. To arm the house, there are two modes: “Long” and “Short.” Selecting “Long” disables all underfloor heating, hot water, AV, lighting, HVAC, and lowers the pool temperature to 20°C. In contrast, “Short” mode simply turns off the AV and lighting throughout the house.
CCTV
Surrounding the property, some cameras can be viewed on either the in-wall Crestron touch panel or the mobile application.
Lighting Control / Window Treatments
Throughout the main areas of the house, a combination of Crestron lighting, Lutron Blinds, and custom Curtain tracks is installed.
Water Tank Monitoring
Both the irrigation system and water tanks are visible from the wall-mounted touch panel. Furthermore, email alerts are available to be sent at predetermined water levels.
Remote Mobile App
A comprehensive one-page iPad application designed to monitor water tanks and other essential systems, enabling remote control of various household appliances.
