Garage conversion advice

[Jazz Monkey Jr]

I am currently planning a garage conversion and I am starting from scratch. Not been on the automation forum so don't know where to start.

I am doing a cinema/games room with a PJ/5.1 etc and would like as much as poss to be automated.
I will get an electric screen and maybe electric blinds if they do them. I also want the lights etc to be controlled.

What am I looking at - there is no budget at the mo just let me know what is available out there.

Thanks.

Hi

The best scenerio would to look at something like the Nevo multi remote and combine this with remote versions of the PJ, screen and curtains/blinds etc

You can then have the complete system along with remote lighting to do the various functions you need at a touch of a button, we completed the same set up in a home cinema which had PJ, screen, curtains, AV amp, iDyl Server and lighting, we then programmed the Nevi so that when the client presses watch DVD, the curtains close, the PJ fires up, Screen comes down, lights dim to the viewing level, and then leaves the client on the control page on the Nevo to operate the DVD etc.................. it's very slick

That sounds just what I need, thanks. I will look in to it.

Any idea where to get electric blinds from?
