FREE! Kiwi is offering FREE Crestron programming!

Feb Newsletter Image


On February 9th, DirecTV switched from Sirius-XM     Radio to SonicTap to offer you a better music experience and we couldn't be happier with the new diverse and robust selection of listening options...

www.DirecTV.com

Unfortunately, in making this change, DirecTV's music channel line-up will no longer correspond with your existing Creston remote and touchpanel preset options.


To better serve our clients, we are offering to correct this minor annoyance at no cost to you. Not only will we update your Creston remote or touchpanel DirecTV music presets for FREE, we will also update ALL CABLE CHANNEL PRESETS to ensure your listening, viewing and entire automation experience is flawless.


Schedule Your Appointment Today. To ensure your preset buttons go where they are intended, contact your sales person at (888)567-KIWI to have these quick updates performed on your system.

* Offer runs 02/10/10-03/31/10. Valid only for existing customers who purchased equipment through Kiwi Audio Visual.

Crestron + iPhone = Ultimate Control?

Crestron has an app for that!  The Crestron Mobile Pro app found in the iTunes App store can be downloaded to an iPhone, iPhone 3G, and the iPod touch.  It uses two different ways to communicate with your home automation system.  The first and possibly more robust way is using the 3G network.  This means that you can check the status of your lights in the bathroom from anywhere in the continental US (try not to remember the lack of coverage offered by AT&T)  The second way is using your home wi-fi network or a hotspot at your local Starbucks.  Both of these connections have their own pros and cons.  Without some extensive testing, I will not be able to comment on the response time of the button presses through either of these connections.  I hope to see it in action in the wild soon so more to follow.
