Room Controler

EDIT: Problem not solved!

I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this thread, but I guess I'll just post it here.

I was wondering if you could point me to one of those switcher/controllers things that will control curtains, shades, house lights, etc. We have one of them at my church in the main building, but I can't remember what it's called. Any ideas on what it's called and where to find one, and any suggestions on a good one?

Thanks!

I think you're looking for a Architectural Structured Control System. Something on a wall with a screen with different options?

It has a touch screen and it mounts on a dock and i think you can take it off of the dock. At my church they use it to control the house lights, the curtains, and the shades.

Ooh I found it! Its the AMX ViewPoint Touch panel. Ok, problem solved!

Wait, I take that back! This is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for an all in one solution to control house lights and curtains. Any ideas?

This thread is really confusing--Padawan, you can delete your posts by editing them--there's a button on the bottom to do so.

There are probably several different manufacturers of this type of setup (if not many), and any one of them will do the job. I mean it's possible someone on here will know what brand and model you're talking about, but I'd say your easiest bet is to actually go to your church and find out

I think this is what you're looking for > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_automation

but as said before there's many different systems. Leviton Makes some and other manufacturers do that I cant think of off the top of my head.

I was going to say ETC cause I know they do Lighting Control like that, but I don't think they have control for curtains. But I could be wrong, now I have seen hydrolic I think it was curtain and rigging control that was computerized so maybe they somehow intergrate, that was from a seperate company though and not ETC.

AMX is the manufacturer for many different systems' touch sceens. AMX markets a few of themfor direct purchase by end users the most common of which are for Home Theatre and automation control. The control that you need will be dependent on what your control system is. ET's Vista system uses a LCD touch screen which is manufactured by AMX, however As I stated AMX manufactures screens for many different companies, and different companies often require differently programmed EPROMs for there BIOS. So Check what you control system is, then ask where you can find the panel for that particular system.
