I built out a home theater in my house a couple of years ago, in what used to be a bedroom. From the moment it became functional, we started spending most evenings in there, and got into the rhythm of how to turn it all on:

• Turn on the receiver, make sure it's on the right channel
• Turn on the ceiling fan at the right setting
• Turn on the lights just right
• Turn on the projector, but not too soon or it will have issues
• Turn on the Apple TV, which we consume most of our content on

Not crazy difficult, but there is a little dance to perform here. Turning on the projector too soon will make it never be able to talk to the receiver for some reason (probably to prevent me from downloading a car), so it has to be delayed the right number of seconds otherwise you have to go through a lengthy power cycle to get it to work.

It also involves the location of no fewer than 5 remote controls, 3 of which use infrared. The receiver is hidden away in a closet, so you had to go in there to turn that on, remote control or no. Let's see if we can automate this so you can turn the whole thing on with a single button.
