Luxury Polar Bear Thermostats Integrate with Crestron Home

Polar Bear, a leading manufacturer of luxury thermostats, collaborated with us to integrate their advanced thermostat technology with the Crestron Home. The overall brief was to enhance the user experience through integration, to simplify the commissioning process for installers and to position Polar Bear as a leader in the smart thermostat market.

The Brief

The smart home market and technology within it is always evolving, so working closely with Polar Bear we identified several key challenges and reasons end users would benefit from integrating Polar Bear thermostats with Crestron Home:
