About Us
Control Gadgets is a Technical resource and software engineering house. Nationwide service and support.
We specialise in control system programming and software solutions for an array of different applications. From large complex projects to small one-off applications.
Our Enterprise AV Systems allow identical software deployment to all controlled spaces, encompassing vastly diverse room types. From small meeting rooms to large immersive lecture theatres. Our Standard Platforms allow the integrator or end user to setup and deploy a space based on their own specific requirements.
Crestron Certified Master Programmer - Silver
Congratulations to Control Gadgets' Adam Banks and Jean-Philippe Pouliot on achieving the level of Silver Crestron Certified Master Programmer!
"By participating in three Masters Conferences and successfully demonstrating competency in the Silver level exam, you have advanced to the next level of certification and joined a special, elite group in our industry. Quite simply, Crestron Master Programmers represent the best of the best." Randy Klein, Crestron CEO
Control Gadgets proudly integrated our Configured Standard Platform into The University of Newcastle's recently completed magnificent NeW Space building, providing a standard single code-set solution for all student pods, meeting & teaching spaces and immersive & interactive theatres.

Case Studies
Crestron: Australian Catholic University
Link to the case study on www.crestron.comDevelop a standardised framework that enables students and teachers to seamlessly use technology
The Australian Catholic University (ACU) is a public not-for-profit institution that aims to empower its students to think critically and ethically, and gain skills to bring about change in their communities, professions and industries. Australian Catholic University has seven campuses around Australia. Campuses are located in Brisbane, Canberra, Sydney, Strathfield, Ballarat, Adelaide and Melbourne
According to ACU’s National AV Manager, Leslie Forrest, the university was growing rapidly, and as a result, required a solution that could integrate the extensive network of AV technology, while also allowing for growth.
"ACU worked closely with a variety of partners, including Control Gadgets, to design a solution that delivered a consistent user interface to the whole fleet.""We worked closely with Control Gadgets to design and develop an ACU Configurable Crestron set for all of the university’s AV standards to deliver a consistent framework" Case Study PDF (2.62 MB)
Crestron: University of Sunshine Coast
Link to the case study on www.crestron.comDesign technology-enabled, collaborative learning and simulation spaces that are highly engaging and interactive to enhance student experiences and education.
Public university founded in 1994 on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, offering 12,000 students a high quality educational experience with a focus on practical learning. Students benefit from a relaxed and supportive campus environment, with access to highly qualified teaching staff, as well as modern technology and facilities across all four of its campuses.
"Crestron worked with multiple partners to deliver an award winning solution. Specialists in control system programming, Control Gadgets, were heavily involved in the project configuration.. "
Case Study PDF (2.22 MB)(The Universal Code) is primarily designed, built and delivered to support the whole university fleet of rooms not just a room or a building. ie it lives independently of any given project or program of works and is hence maintained going forward. This fact ensures a reliable and consistent end-user experience which is just not possible in per room/per building programming activities which wrap up on project close.
The level of configuration in the code allows it to cope with an extensive breadth of configurations for different types of spaces and use cases. Rather than a faculty coming with unique requirements which has triggered a unique design, a unique code and therefore a unique end-user and support experience, we have in all but a few cases been able to just configure the universal code for the situation.
I have worked with Control Gadgets over the last 18 months to design configurable Crestron code for ACU standard designs rather than have code developed and tested in situ. Once the install is complete, the integrator or IT can load our code. We know it works as we have the code on numerous systems. If there are any problems I know it’s hardware or installation related; not the code. Most IT support officers can load, configure and modify the systems, this alone is a real bonus.
