One Command, Whole-Home Showtime

Say “Movie Night,” and watch the living room dim to amber, the TV shift to cinema mode, blinds glide closed, and doorbell chimes mute automatically. Wave to pause playback when popcorn spills, then resume without touching a thing.

One Command, Whole-Home Showtime

Over time, your system notices you start shows around nine and prefers warmer color temperature after sunset. It gently suggests tweaks, like lowering subwoofer levels midweek, and asks permission before adopting new habits.

Interactive TV, Gaming, and Fitness That Reacts to You

Turn on the controller and your TV wakes, input switches, and soundbar engages game mode automatically. HDMI-CEC and smart scenes cut setup time, giving you more minutes inside the world you came to play.

Interactive TV, Gaming, and Fitness That Reacts to You

Hue-style bias lighting mirrors on-screen color, while a fitness game reads heart rate from your watch and intensifies challenges. The room pulses when you hit a new personal record, cheering without a single notification ping.

Scene Recipes for Every Mood

Create Cozy Read with warm whites at thirty percent and a soft vignette behind the TV. Build Sports Night with crisp neutrals and brighter task lamps, so snacks and remotes stop playing hide-and-seek.

DIY Sensors That Add Delight

A tiny motion sensor near the couch lifts ambient light during pause to help with refills, then fades when playback resumes. Guests think you orchestrated it manually, yet it’s just considerate automation quietly helping.

Safety Meets Cinema Without Distraction

Tie under-cabinet LEDs to doorbell alerts at a gentle pulse, leaving the soundtrack untouched. You stay immersed, but nobody misses a delivery—or that friend who always arrives at the cliffhanger.

Profiles, Parental Controls, and Accessibility Built In

Everyone gets their own homepage, watchlist, and audio preferences. Your thriller binges stop hijacking the family queue, while kid-friendly suggestions stay bubbly, bright, and blissfully free of jump-scare thumbnails.

Set content ratings, bedtime shutdowns, and request approvals from your phone. When Saturday arrives, switch to Family Marathon scene that loosens limits slightly, then automatically restores weekday routines without another tap.

Enable audio descriptions, customizable captions, and voice navigation that reads focused elements aloud. Big gestures trigger major actions, helping everyone enjoy movie night, regardless of eyesight, dexterity, or remote control battles.

Mesh That Actually Fits Your Home

Place nodes high, away from metal, and wire key rooms where possible. Assign the theater a wired link, while bedrooms ride dedicated 6 GHz backhaul, reducing jitter that ruins big reveals or live sports.

Streaming QoS That Prioritizes Joy

Tag TV and console traffic as high priority, then let background downloads use leftover bandwidth. You will notice smoother scrubbing, faster app switching, and fewer buffering hiccups during those high-stakes finales.

Security Without Drama

Create a separate network for guests and another for IoT, limiting device permissions to only what they need. Automatic updates patch vulnerabilities while your Saturday matinee rolls on, undisturbed and secure.

Automations That Save Without Sacrifice

Smart plugs cut standby drain after midnight and wake equipment before you settle in. You keep instant responsiveness, yet trim monthly costs, with dashboards revealing which devices sip versus slurp power.

Heat, Noise, and Comfort in Harmony

Link projector fans and window shades to temperature sensors, lowering heat and noise during long sessions. Your space stays comfortable, the soundtrack remains clean, and energy use drops without micromanaging a thing.
