So is there a “best” control system? Not necessarily.

They are all compatible with major brands like Lutron, Sony, Samsung, Sonos, and hundreds of other top electronic brands and home systems. These include touch panels, handheld remote s, lighting control systems, motorized shading, smart thermostats, audio distribution systems, and video distribut ion systems. Savant, Crestron, and Control 4 offer similar products. Your installer and programmer's job is to mitigate them as much as possible. Just like any other technology product, control systems have their glitches. That being said, no control system is perfect. It is a rare case where I can point to the brand and say that it was, in fact, a systemic issue with the control system. I usually determine that the insta ller was at fault or there some other brand or compatibility issues that were contributing to the system problems. I usually ask who the installer was first (the typical weak link), then I ask what kind of issues they were having.

So when I hear a one-star control system review, I take it with a grain of salt. As these issues continue to occur with various devices around the house, the perception of "I have a lousy control system" sours the homeowner. Sometimes a homeowner inquires about the actual problem and fix, but most are too busy and ask, "Did you fix it?". The failure is then reported to the installer, who then comes out and fixes the problem. Multiply this by every device you have o n the control system. Well, sometimes it is the bulb, the fixture, the wire, the Wi -F i, or some other reason that has nothing to do with the control system. When a consumer taps a button on a remote, app, or touch panel to turn on a light, and that light does not turn on, it is immediately assumed that the control device is the cause of the problem. A control system like Crestron, Savant, or Control 4 touches everything in the home - lighting, shades, video, audio, alarm, pool, locks, thermostats, etc. How can the user experience vary so greatly? Keep in mind that perception is reality. You can talk to 100 homeowners, and you will get rave reviews of each brand, and you may also get an equal amount of one - star reviews.
