Set the Scene for Any Atmosphere With Home Automation
Same House, Countless Moods Through Smart Technology
They say, “variety is the spice of life.” The people and places we experience make the world so thrilling. So more often than not, staying home can feel like a drag. We frequently take our homes for granted, complacent with the familiar walls we see day to day. But what if you could transform your home’s sensations and atmosphere in one press of a button?
With a smart home system by Crestron, you control your house’s appearance and functionality through synced smart devices. From one app, you can access your lighting, audio, thermostats, security, and more to create custom scenes. As a home automation company based in San Antonio, TX, we’ll share the possibilities of smart scenes below.

Morning Scene
Wake up on the right side of the bed every day with a custom scene for your morning routine. Motorized blinds will rise automatically to let the sunshine in, and soft music will start playing over your whole-home audio system. Let this replace your annoying alarm to start the day peacefully. The thermostat will automatically bring each room to a comfortable temperature, and tunable lights will set to a bright blue-white light that energizes your mind to seize the day.
Workout Time
With a premade scene on your Crestron system, your smart speaker will know it’s ‘workout time’ to instantly get in the mood. Your pump-up workout playlist will automatically start playing in the home gym. Tunable lights can shift to fun colors. And your thermostat will cool the room, so you’re comfortable to work up a sweat.
Vacation Mode
When you’re away, there’s always a lingering anxiety about your house in the back of your mind. What if someone breaks in? Can the pet sitter be trusted? We unplugged the hairdryer, right? Before you embark on a road trip or jet off to Europe in the future, tap the ‘away mode’ on your smart system. Your interior and landscape lights will be scheduled to flicker on and off throughout the day as if someone is home. Your smart door locks, alarms, and sensors will all activate instantly. No matter how far away you are, you can check on the status of your house’s devices and cameras right from your smartphone app.
Date Night
Staying in? You can still enjoy a romantic evening right from home. Turn on your ‘date night’ scene for your lights to automatically transition to warm, amber glows, just like a cozy wine bar. Soft jazz music or your favorite albums will emit over the loudspeakers. Pool and hot tub jets will start up, and motorized shades will lower—all in one press of a button.
You can create customized scenes for any scenario imaginable. Red, white, and blue lighting for the 4th of July? The right comfort settings for bedtime? It’s all in your control.
