Lighting and curtain Question

[cturner10]

Excuse my lack of knowledge but I'm new to home automation and home theaters.So heres my question(s). How do I make it possible to control my curtains and lighting with a remote control? I have not purchase the harmony 1000 yet, but am leaning toward it because I have heard it is easier to program than some other remote and it also looks pretty cool. If there is another remote that you think I should have a look at please let me know. Also, what equipment do I need to open my curtains and dim the lights?

Thanks very much,

Craig

you need a lighting control system with IR and a curtain controller with IR interface (some other remotes can use RS232 and more forms)
