The Home electronic Industry is providing homeowners with new and exciting options for kitchen automation. Because we spend so much time entertaining and living in our kitchens, this room can now become the control center. With the help of The Screening Room, home lighting, heating and cooling, audio/video, outside lighting and window shades and/or drapes can all be controlled with a single keypad in the kitchen. In addition, Internet access can assist homeowners with communication while cooking or provide recipes at your fingertips.
