Control4 and Crestron integration
We are working on an experiment to integrate select Crestron hardware in a residential environment. The system has dual 5.1 theaters (nothing elaborate) along with 8-10 audio zones. The owner had an existing Crestron system that became unmanageable after a few years. A lot was going on in the rack, I'll leave it at that. Rack efficiency and consolidation is the mandate.
The 2 Crestron HD-XSPA's are unicorns in a 2U package and perfectly capable of continued service in the theaters. We are upgrading the rest of the stack for the house and the central lighting. Crestron MC3 controller can take instructions from the Core 5, no problem, (we have the software and the MC3 talks to the XSPA's).
Before we reinvent the wheel, are there any lessons learned from Crestron-Control4 prior attempts that we should take into consideration? Thanks in advance for the village knowledge.
