Set individual lights or groups of lights to the exact brightness you want for a particular activity — and recall that setting at the touch of a button. You can integrate lighting control with other functions of your home electronics system, like having the lights dim automatically when you start a movie, or having them turn on when you come into the house. You can monitor and control lights in other rooms, for instance from your bedside table. So, when you hear that 'bump in the night', you can turn on exactly the lights you want, before you even go downstairs

You can open, close, or adjust you window coverings at the touch of a button. Shades and drapery operation can be linked to your Home Theatre controls so that unwanted light can be eliminated. You can coordinate the operation of your window coverings with your security or Home Management System, so that shades are opened or closed to create a 'lived in' look when you're away. With motorized shades, you can easily operate window treatments that are very large or are located in difficult to reach places.
