Crestron and Sonos Deepen Their Relationship

July 5, 2017 by Ted Leave a Comment

BREAKING NEWS

Crestron logoCrestron announced today that it is dramatically deepening its partnership with Sonos that was first revealed at last Fall’s CEDIA show. That partnership, which Strata-gee was the first to break the story on ahead of the 2016 CEDIA show, is now growing even stronger as Crestron is making the full line of Sonos products available directly to Crestron Technology Professionals through their normal purchasing system. Crestron dealers can add as much Sonos product to their Crestron orders as they’d like…starting today.

Savant Holds Integration Summit in Denver, Outlines New Path Forward

January 25, 2017 by Ted Leave a Comment

Savant logoIn the wake of recent major executive changes, Savant seemed to fall into silent mode, deflecting media inquiries and in general buying itself time to get organized. All that is changing now as the company wrapped up a summit of its integrators in Denver – its largest ever – where it made several major announcements. At the integration summit, Savant revealed new products, new services, and a new commitment to the custom integration community.

Savant CEO Changes in Unexpected – and Unexplained – Shakeup

September 28, 2016 by Ted Leave a Comment

Savant logoLate yesterday afternoon, a strange press release came our way. This release was strange for a couple of reasons – first, for what it was announcing – Savant’s founder Robert Madonna was returning to the CEO role, replacing “outgoing” CEO William Lynch. Second, it was strange because it gave no reason for this dramatic change of CEOs; and, third, it was strange because of where it came from – a PR firm that the company hasn’t been using for a couple of years.

Crestron Pursues Deeper & More Innovative Integrations with Partners

September 22, 2016 by Ted Leave a Comment

Photo from Amazon keynoteCrestron Embraces Sonos, Amazon, & Others

At CEDIA 2016, one of the top themes we identified was companies seeking more and better integrations with other companies’ technologies. In most cases, this expressed itself with companies seeking to have their product lines properly interface with the major control companies. But at CEDIA this year, Crestron took that concept to new heights and in a new direction with their enthusiastic embrace of newcomers to the CI channel…Sonos and Amazon Alexa.

Will CEDIA 2016 Be The Sonos Show?

August 31, 2016 by Ted 1 Comment

Sonos Launches Integration Partners Program with Software, Music Service & Hardware Companies

Sonos logoSonos surprised the industry this week with several announcements, some of which were directly targeted at the custom integration market just two weeks before the launch of the CEDIA 2016 show. But one announcement didn’t surprise us – we first told you about it a month ago when we revealed that we had learned that after announcing they were pulling out of the show, Crestron was back…in partnership with none other than Sonos.

With so many announcements at CEDIA 2016, will this be the Sonos show? [Read more…] about Will CEDIA 2016 Be The Sonos Show?

Savant Offers App for Apple Watch

May 20, 2015 by Ted Leave a Comment

Savant logoSavant, a leading home control & automation company, announced today that it is making an app available for the Apple smart watch – called, logically enough, the Savant App on Apple Watch. Since Savant is one of the only home automation companies to base their control systems on the Apple operating system, it only makes sense that they would be one of the first in the tech business to offer an Apple Watch app.
