What I'm getting from all this is that the real power is the macro capability that interconnects multiple systems that would otherwise not have any interaction with each other. Seemingly, that's what takes Crestron from simple remote control to home automation.
That's just the start. You can also have it do things automatically based on outside prompts. For instance, your example with the doorbell activating the touchpanel and showing a live audio/video feed of the front door; opening your garage and having the lights come on inside and the system start your favorite album; have the system text you when the temperature of your wine cellar gets too hot because the compressor went out; etc.
