The challenge on our part was to give the family this power to control their environment without making it complicated, clunky, or worse, unreliable.”Īs lighting was a big part of the brief and it needed to be fully controllable through scene integration, McLaughlin chose a Lutron HomeWorks system to manage the lighting and window treatments throughout the property. At the press of a button, a change in the lighting scene and lowering or raising a fabric over the window will change the mood of the room dramatically. He says: “The main focus of this designer home was the lighting and window treatments, and their fundamental impact on the rest of the décor. UK integrator, Progressive Home Technology took on the challenge of this whole-home install, with owner and director, Liam McLaughlin taking charge. Adding to this, they wanted a dedicated home cinema, but the only room they had for it was extremely small, presenting multiple challenges for the installer. The family home in Putney is very much a designer house where the look is as important as the functionality and performance of the installation.Īs well as considering the overall design, the family wanted to have complete control over their home and the technology but without it being too complicated. More often than not, we see home integration projects where the technology must work with or around the design and décor of each room. The power and flexibility of VTPro combined with the simplicity of SIMPL and the familiar platform of SIMPL+, make for one powerful control system design and programming tool.With an emphasis on lighting design and window treatments to have a positive impact on the décor, plus a reference grade cinema room and audio, this home is a designer’s dream. So, if you've ever been afraid to program a Crestron system because you couldn't afford the time to learn a whole new language, or if you're a long-time Crestron programmer and have often said "I wish I had a symbol that could do.," get ready to have some fun with SIMPL+. And because of its familiar syntax, SIMPL+ makes transferring programs written for another platform to a Crestron system easier than you ever thought possible. Instead, you combine the two, using SIMPL+ for the parts of the program you think benefit from it. The most exciting part is that you don't have to choose between SIMPL and SIMPL+ when writing a program. If you are familiar with popular procedural languages like C or BASIC, you will have no problem learning to program in SIMPL+. SIMPL+ is a procedural language extension to SIMPL.
Users can now combine the ease-of-use and simplicity of the graphical SIMPL language with the power and flexibility of SIMPL+. Completely integrated into SIMPL Windows, SIMPL+ is a powerful language extension to Crestron's popular SIMPL programming language. SIMPL+ takes Crestron programming a step beyond SIMPL.
