Cali Automation designs, installs and programs Crestron Home systems for Orange County homeowners, builders and designers, with certified Crestron programmers on our own team.
Authorized Crestron dealer. We handle the full project in house: system design, pre-wire, rack build, installation, Crestron Home programming and ongoing support. Our engineers program Crestron in luxury homes and in commercial and government facilities, so complex integrations are routine work for us.
Crestron scales from a few rooms to a multi-building estate on one platform, with centralized lighting, dozens of zones and thousands of devices.
Wired, centralized lighting and control keep the system working even when the internet or Wi-Fi does not.
Horizon and Cameo keypads with custom engraving and metal finishes, plus touch screens in 8, 10 and 15 inch sizes, fit high-end interiors.
Crestron Home handles the everyday scenes, and custom programming covers the unusual requests other platforms cannot.
One Crestron Home app, a few keypads and a handheld remote run the whole property:
The platform behind the app, touch screens and keypads. Scenes, schedules and remote access are configured for how your family lives.
Wall and tabletop touch screens with proximity sensing and voice microphones, plus handheld remotes for media rooms and theaters.
Engraved keypads and dimmers in a range of colors and metal finishes, so every button says exactly what it does.
DIN-rail dimming and switching panels in the equipment room for whole-home lighting with no wall clutter.
Quiet motorized roller shades in sheer, light-filtering and blackout fabrics, controlled with the lights.
Multi-room music and video routed from the rack to every room, with sources and TVs controlled from one interface.

Crestron is usually the right choice for larger homes, new construction with centralized lighting, estates with guest houses or outbuildings, and owners who want custom behavior the system can grow into. It also carries the highest cost of the three major platforms.
For a mid-size home or a retrofit, Savant or Control4 may deliver the same daily experience for less. For lighting and shades, many Crestron homes also use Lutron. Because we are authorized for all three, we recommend the platform that fits the home. Compare typical budgets in our smart home cost guide.
Your system is designed and programmed by our own certified team, not subcontracted. The people who build it are the people who support it.
We also deliver AV and control systems for commercial and government clients nationwide, and bring the same documentation and testing to every home.
We are authorized for Crestron, and for its main competitors, so our recommendation is based on your home, not on the only brand we carry.
Every system starts with a professional network: firewall, managed switches, wireless access points and structured cabling.
We design, install and support Crestron systems across Orange County, including Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Tustin, Mission Viejo, Ladera Ranch, Great Park, San Clemente, Santa Ana, Anaheim and Huntington Beach, and take on select projects throughout Southern California.
Yes. Cali Automation is an authorized Crestron dealer, and our team includes certified Crestron programmers who design, install and program Crestron Home systems.
Crestron Home is the platform that controls lighting, shades, audio, video, climate, security and more from one app, touch screens, keypads and remotes. It is configured for each home and can be extended with custom programming.
Crestron usually carries the highest cost of the major platforms, and the total depends mostly on the number of rooms, lighting loads and shades. Our smart home cost guide shows typical ranges by home size and by system.
Yes. Wireless keypads, dimmers and battery shades make retrofits practical, although centralized lighting is easiest to install during construction or a major remodel.
Crestron fits large and complex homes that need the deepest customization. Savant offers a polished, app-first experience, and Control4 is usually the most cost-effective. We are authorized for all three and recommend based on the home.
In many cases, yes. We review the existing system, programming and equipment first and then recommend a support plan or upgrades.
