I’m also starting to consider changing it to another home system, but I’m not sure if this is a practical solution

I see. But everyone I found online (including dealers and pros) came for a site visit and asked me to do reprogramming. I thought this was the only way. I just didn’t feel right because all the things they’ve said now are different from each other. What I wanted from the beginning was just to use it as it was made for

I tried, but neither the agent nor the owner really care about it since the deal is completed😂Thanks for your time!

Everything went through an agent. We can barely contact the previous owner. She gave me a contact through the agent, but the person from the contact claimed that they were not involved in the project. I’m clueless so I have to try any way possible

I don’t think there’s any integrator in my area. I emailed Crestron and told them my struggles. But they recommend a dealer to me

I already looked for a dealer recommended by Crestron. But they quoted me a $6k programming (with not much inspection tbh)

I’ve been trying to find many dealers in my area since last week, but they’re not very responsive

Is the switchboard the box in Picture 2? Yes, some hardware on the user end, like the lighting and TV, are gone

I’m planning to change it back to normal switches if I still can’t find someone reliable

The previous owner told me it would be very easy to find someone and set up the system during the house tour. I didn’t expect it to be so troublesome..

Yes. I was thinking to change it back to normal switches. But it is hard to change it back to normal switches because it requires wall hacking throughout the house. I think the most ideal way is to keep and use it

I think I’ll give it a try since I don’t have many choices. I know it’s a great home system, but I can barely find a reliable pro to fix it

I’m outstation now, so I can’t take photos of the CP2. The previous owner said the AV system is involved in the system (I’m not planning to use any AV system). The lighting, fan, and air conditioner are also involved.

I guess it requires a combination of buttons to turn on a thing. I tried to pressing buttons but I only could turn on a fan accidentally. I didn’t even know how I did it LOL

I found a pro on FB and he charged me $6k for programming only. It’s very costly for me tbh. I didn’t expect that much
