It’s All About Design
Crestron Horizon keypads are a cut above any other smart controls on the market. Horizon keypads are offered in a wide range of luxurious materials and colors, including wood, marble, and leather looks. The custom etched buttons are LED-backlit with a choice of programmable colors. When you press a button, it can even light up more so you know it’s working. The buttons' tactile feel and operation are carefully engineered to give you a feeling of quality. In keeping with Crestron’s unique custom approach, the company offers a service to complement the keypads with your décor, matching colors and trims like wood, metal, marble, and engineered stone - no other home automation manufacturer does that.
Is each room in your home unique? Your control keypads can be too – no need to choose from only three basic colors and materials. With Crestron Horizon, you can personalize the controls in each room for a perfect complement to your décor. What's more, the Crestron Horizon EX models work wirelessly, allowing even more flexibility in installation locations.
Beautifully Customizable Control
Crestron products are known for high degrees of customizability in function, and Horizon keypads are a perfect example. The button configurations feature the ability to have large and small buttons on the same keypad, mounted both horizontally and vertically. For example, you can have a scene that sets all the lights at a predetermined level with one button touch and a rocker dimmer that can then fine-tune the intensity when you want to change it.
You can also combine multiple functions on one keypad. Control your shades and drapes with preset scenes for day or night. Add volume and play/pause controls for your whole-home audio system. The Horizon keypads can go from single-gang to four-gang configurations accommodating a wide range of controls for your smart home. The possibilities to customize your keypad control and looks are almost endless.

Other Smarts
If you want even more automated control, Horizon keypads can integrate sensors to trigger sequences. An ambient light sensor can command your motorized shades to lower to minimize heat gain from the sun in summer. An occupancy sensor can detect if no one is around and either dim your lights low or turn them off entirely for energy savings.
Crestron Quality
Crestron is the oldest name in home automation. The company offers a full suite of smart home solutions, from lighting to shading to audio and video. Horizon keypads can take advantage of Creston automation solutions, but you’re not limited to only those. Avidia can custom configure and program your keypads to work with other solutions, such as Lutron lighting control.
