Scott Radwan's Home Automation Magic

[mavin773]

I am a fan of home automation but the User Interfaces from Creston look like a website from the 90s. :(

[kushandtrippy]

its exactly the same in my house.. but from top ive got an element set below the Italian marble so i can basically change the temperature of the restroom if needed...im from new delhi, india and will try my best to make a video and upload it here asap...

[MATTIASOKOK]

so you can turn off the TV at home from anywhere in the world trough your laptop? I bet the kids (if there are any ;)) hates it :p

[ghostaliaz]

Yeah iPads would be a cheaper way to do this, but you know & I know that companies that install these home automation services want to keep the expensive crestron panels, so they can drive up the price even more & then add a little something something more for themselves by then the home owner has a empty pocket. The iPad does stuff just like this,but it is scattered in different apps which sucks . I am working on joining everything into one app for Home Automation & Home Theaters. Great Home!

[Repi3]

do u have a site with info about the setup and other stuff?

[MrRf81]

Crestron is the Cisco of home automation. If you have the right folks with the right expertise designing the system it works flawlessly.

[MrRf81]

RADIKS!

[get2rad]

@MrRf81

Those were the days! Who is this?

[SINISTERxONER]

Yeah, you're talking at least 30k for the equipment, but what you're missing is the price of the prewiring needed during the build process and the labor charged to install and program all this stuff. After all said and done, over 100k for the kind of system shown here. I've been doing this same stuff for years in CA and AZ. Crestron is especially expensive.

[ghostaliaz]

@SINISTERxONER Yeah I totally agree with you! Way to expensive.

[hejons]

why do i get the feeling that this thing is so expensive?

answer: Because it is EXPENSIVE!!!!

[MrAnonymousPoster]

I actually have the knowledge and motivation to build something like this, but I can't afford a house. Fuck my life.

[marioaleal]

NICE!

[felixcruzazul]

i would love to hack this system looks like a ton of fun

[EtyleN]

What would this cost me?

[MrAnonymousPoster]

@EtyleN when you decide to add this in the planning stage of your home and you use stock components, you should be able to get something for about 5k-10k without the fancy audio/video stuff. if i had to guess how much for everything shown in the video... hmm ~ 30k.

[MrAnonymousPoster]

@EtyleN oh, euros that is.

[squeezycheeseypeas]

I just imagined the house falling down after a blue screen of death

[Partyproffsen]

I'm about to do a similar setup so i'm also a little bit curious about the total cost.

Is there anything that you should do different today with your system?

@Partyproffsen

With Crestron, for a system like that, including all the subsystems he demonstrated (lighting, distributed a/v, shades, security, hvac, fountains, fireplace, etc.), I'd imagine around $200,000 installed; though, the cost can vary wildly depending on the quality of components.

I was involved with an installation like this, in a 5500 sq. ft., super premium home, that ran upwards of $350,000, but this particular client only wanted the best. For instance, a $25,000 projector.

[alex46215]

Hey man, how much did this setup cost?

[TheStudentCoder]

@nuclearthreat545 the company built it and thus paid for it.

[MustAccord]

Cool video and a very nice setup. Like your watch by the way.

[get2rad]

@MustAccord

thanks a lot. glad you like the video & watch - probably can't tell but, the watch is a gmt

[ayambami]

I wish u could do this with an iPad.

[get2rad]

@ayambami

you can. in fact its probably better to use ipads then crestron panels - a heck of a lot less. i use my iphone for control

[Jarbranga]

@ayambami you can, I just wouldn't use Crestron. Over priced and over hyped.

[miguelherrera97]

@ayambami You can, download the "crestron" app from the app store.

[get2rad]

sure!

[limpi11]

Great video, Can I ask you if I can use your video for my presentation? Tahaks

[get2rad]

@limpi11

Sure!

[iimaginos]

hi, nice video and great job, but for those that not live in the usa, and want to have all that beneficst , how can we do, please attach some help, like details about the equipment used, intalation, brands, tech,

tks

[AutomationTheory]

Great crestron system!

[GMAArtistAgency]

This was great man. We are building a custom home and thinking of going with Crestron for full automation. Thanks man.

[gotgame998]

Dude, Your User interface needs help.

[cooldudethegreatspy]

lmfaooooooooooooooooooooo beaman

[artazzu]

where is this sold

[alphaman1101]

custom creations... Although, the system that im working on, may be sold if i can get a license for it...

[beaman220]

Damn someone hacked my house and locked me out. lol

[alphaman1101]

doubt it. these systems dont be hacked because they are setup right. now unless you delibretly set your configuration online then id see a point

[TheFilmenthusiast]

I like your Crestron system. I am looking for a system and need a good installer. Who installed your system?

[eXapath]

get2rad...nice video. You do a terrific job of demonstrating how home automation can benefit the homeowner and also show how easy it is to interface with the system. Nice work.

[get2rad]

Thanks for looking and the nice comment.

[nepentheanonymous]

get2rad i thought i noticed an iphone in the vid. Were u using the home automation from the iphone. if so how ?

[get2rad]

I was using a request app to control my audio request. I also use orb to access all of my media.

[pmgodfrey]

Thanks for posting. You have a very nice system. I've worked with a few Crestron systems that were installed in lecture halls at some colleges, but I have not seen a home install until now.

Expensive, but worth every penny down the road. It is simply the best control system on the market.

[get2rad]

thanks for the comment
