What It Means to Incorporate Better Tech Into Your Home
As the year winds down, it is the perfect time to reflect on how far residential technology has come, especially within the Crestron ecosystem.
Crestron Home, lighting, audio, and control all took meaningful steps forward, giving us even more ways to enjoy comfort, convenience, and style. These upgrades translate into more intelligent, more beautiful homes that feel easy and luxurious to live in every single day.
Lifestyle Technologies is a certified Crestron dealer and residential technology integrator, which means our team can bring these new capabilities together in a way that feels curated and luxurious, tailored to your property and your unique needs. Learn more below!

Crestron Home OS 4.7: A Refined Home Operating System
Crestron Home OS 4.7 is the latest update, focusing on clarity and ease of use. The interface is cleaner, scenes are easier to access, and everyday controls feel more intuitive. Lights, shades, climate, locks, audio, and video now reside in one digital environment that respects your time and attention, rather than being spread across multiple apps.
For busy South Florida households, this is particularly important. You can walk in the door and set the scene for the evening with a few taps, adjust climate and lighting before guests arrive, or check on the property while traveling, all inside one unified experience. When Lifestyle Technologies designs a Crestron Home system, we take these new tools and shape them around how you entertain, unwind, and navigate your daily activities.
Keypads and Lighting Match High-End Design
Crestron invested significant effort in lighting control hardware this year. The latest Horizon and Cameo keypads and dimmers bring a higher level of design along with impressive flexibility. Button layouts can be customized, finishes complement interior materials, and engraving makes each keypad feel purposeful rather than generic.
Pair these controls with Crestron tunable LED fixtures, and your home starts to feel alive. Color temperature and intensity can shift across the day, supporting focus in the morning, productivity in the afternoon, and relaxation at night. With the SolarSync sensor, interior lighting can track the color of natural daylight outside, which is especially appealing in bright coastal environments like Boca Raton and Palm Beach. Lifestyle Technologies helps our clients select the right mix of fixtures and keypads so the technology supports design rather than competing with it.
Audio, Control, and a More Enjoyable Everyday Experience
On the audio side, Crestron’s DM NAX platform is an audio-over-IP technology that gives you a powerful way to enjoy high-quality sound everywhere. All of it is managed under Crestron Home, so whole-house music feels like an extension of lighting and shading scenes, not a separate system to learn.
Handheld control received attention as well. The Cevo Mini remote focuses on comfort in the hand and simplicity on the screen. Its streaming-first design empowers you to jump between content, adjust volume, and control lights or shades during a movie night.
These latest updates equate to fewer steps and more enjoyment. A single remote can guide a theater experience, and a single app can set the tone for the entire property.
