I’ve installed the 120V side of a few Crestron systems, looks dam near identical, and I’d say you need a lot, whatever company manufactures those basically owns everything inside. You’d probably have to replace everything in those cabinets except the terminal strips.

Each one of those wires goes to independent lights or groups of lights, last house I did we used about 15x 150m rolls of NMD90 there were around a hundred pulls. Shits expensive and a lot of work and in my opinion wildly pointless. But that’s just a poor man’s opinion.
