Lighting and Curtain Control 
Part of the home theater experience is dimming the lights. There’s a sense of drama when the room gradually darkens. Anticipation is in the air. A special event is about to happen. At Ovation, we believe that automating room lighting into the rest of the home theater is an important part of the magic. And we don’t have to stop in the home theater. Whole-house automated lighting systems add convenience and security to your home. Let’s take at brief look at what they’re all about.

Automated lighting systems
In my home theater, when I press the play button on the remote, the first thing that happens is the lights begin to dim. An electronic dimming device was installed in the wall that controls all of the overhead lighting, plus a table lamp. The dimmer was carefully programmed to reach total darkness exactly when the movie starts. I have to admit, it’s pretty cool.

Sometime in the future, I’d love to wire the entire house for automated lighting. A press of a single button as I enter the front door, will create a preset lighting scenario for the entire house. And when it’s time to head upstairs, another press lights the hallway and bedroom, while extinguishing all of the downstairs lighting, except the lights that I want to remain on for security. And when I leave for a few days, the lights can turn on automatically and then change at different times, just like when I’m home—great for home security.

Automated window treatments
Just about any kind of window treatment today can be motorized and controlled by a wireless remote. Ovation  will then integrate that window treatment into the rest of your home’s electronics. Let’s say the midday sun is shining through the bedroom window and you want to watch a little TV. A press of a button can close the blinds, turn the TV on, and switch the cable box to your favorite station.
