Control and Automation Frequently Asked Questions

What are the components of a control and automation system?

There are two main components of automation systems, the user interface and the control processor:

  • The user interface gives users a way of interacting with the control system and can be loaded on proprietary devices or you own devices.
  • The Control processor is the brains of the system and all devices are controlled through it. It can be manual, automated, or a mix.

Does my control and automation solution need to run on a proprietary device?

Not in all situations, no. Industry leaders like Creston have developed software solutions that are compatible with a range of devices including tablets and smartphones.

How many rooms or devices can a single system control?

The answer can be as few as one or over 100 depending on your needs. Many control and automation systems today are designed to scale to give you oversight over a large number of rooms and units. Often, you can also switch seamlessly between controlling the entire environment and making adjustments within a single area.

What do I need to look for in an audio/visual control and automation solution?

Your control and automation solution should deliver benefits like:

  • Centralized management of your resources
  • Flexibility to serve spaces of varying sizes and complexity
  • Reliability through features like redundant power supplies and networking
  • Simplicity by using common hardware and software

Most importantly, your AV control and automation solution needs to suit your needs.
