Making the jump starting with automation of your home over into in-house theatres shouldn’t be much of a jump taking into account many users (not counting us) likely kicked off the exploration for lighting via a harmony remote to make the uber-cool movie room setup complete. Maybe it’s just me but the AMX remotes have been a key device and we now use one for virtually all of our tv sets. Considering we almost never watch that ‘live’ tv style of watching at all, there is always a bunch of entertainment systems to flick on and it wasted my time using one remote control then the subsequent one until things were setup, before we have to go backwards on the procedure once whatever I was watching was finished.
While smart remotes are here now, the merger of automation with home entertainment is moving closer every day with quite a few prevalent home automation places prototyping infared transmit and receive from your automation system as of late and as a result anyone with an interest can perform events such as networking a mp3 system which is at the far end of the home utilizing just your wireless home network controls. Neat stuff, though everything is elaborated on with more of a tutorial style here: Insteon switches than most Zwave blogs so it is definitely a essential location which simplifies things amazingly well.
I love that he is almost scarily passionate when discussing technology.
