About Us

Austin Control provides system design and Crestron programming to clients worldwide.

Sheila Austin, President of Austin Control LLC, received a BS in Acoustical Engineering from the University of Hartford in 1996. After taking a position as a junior acoustical engineer in NYC, she left to work with one of the leading Crestron programmers in the country in order to explore her growing interest in Audio/Visual programming and design. After several years of training and fieldwork in both the commercial and residential areas of the A/V industry, working with many of the top A/V companies in the Northeast, Sheila decided to increase her focus on the design aspects of A/V and achieved her CTS-D certification from the International Communications Industries Association, becoming only the second female to achieve this designation. Drawing on her interest in working independently, Sheila pursued certification as an independent Crestron programmer, and formed her own company, Austin Control LLC in CT in 2002. She worked with residential and commercial dealers in CT, MA, and CA until 2005. Finding her sea legs, Sheila began providing programming and design for Crestron systems in yachts by accepting a permanent position with Intelect Integrated Electronics, a Crestron dealer. In 2007, Sheila achieved Silver Certified Crestron Master Programmer status, becoming the first female that was Silver Certified. In the beginning of 2010 Sheila then achieved Gold Certified Crestron Master Programmer status, becoming the first and only female that is Gold Certified. Also in 2010, Sheila became DMC-E certified. She still maintains her CTS-D status from ICIA. Austin Control has programmed many systems for residential, commercial, and marine customers worldwide. Sheila is determined to expand her expertise of programming and design, and offer her services to multiple customers in diverse geographic regions.

Austin Control LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company, was created for this pursuit.
