Home cinema room

I use a 3m wide screen. The beamer is a JVC-X3 and i like the quality. The screen is maskable from 1,77:1 - 2,7:1.
The two main speakers are Imagnation 4 (AudioVideoForum) and the center and surrounds are
Imagnation 2. The developer of this system is a former developer of FOCAL.
I use 2 18" subwoofer in 120l volume. The are powered by 500W from the Synq audio 1K0 amplifier.
The seats are mounted on a spring driven podest with an Eartquake 10b body shaker. It's fun to watch movies and play
some games.

Home automation system

I can control my entire equipment and some other stuff. Lights, blinds, tv, heater and waterbed. I developted the
complete system by myself. A TCP socket server (VM 5) serves the data to the iPAd, iPhone and webinterface.
I tried to use siri but it's annoying. It was for fun only.
The server controls the connected modules like lights or IR2TCP module for remote control devices with no ethernet.
In addition the server recieves data from the temperature modules and magnet switches to determine open windows.
The modules itself are connected via ZigBee.
The elektronik of the modules based on ATMEL controlers. I can update the firmware of the modules over air so
no need for disassembling.
The server is programmed in .NET and the ATMEL controlers are programmed with BASCOM.

A small update. I have replaced the LCARS remote with a TRON like style.
