Quoted from nerbflong:Okay, I got a little busy with things and forgot about updating this thread!
Arcade is mostly done now and you can see a terrible video here:
» YouTube video
Pardon the poor video recording, audio of the camera lens doing what ever the heck its doing and a cat deciding that then was the time she wanted attention. Hah.
The video shows how my arcade is fully automated with Crestron for turning on and lighting. There are 14 zones of lighting, each dimmable and set via the touchscreens. There are 32 separately wired 110 outlets controlled so when the system is off, each game or TV is off the grid. Less to worry about in a storm.
Not so exciting arcade wise with lighting, no black light carpet or lights, or leds. I had a lot of that with the last game room and preferred to keep it simple (lol) this time in way of lighting. Less glare on the glass!
This is really awesome! Did you have the Crestron stuff done by a company’s or did you do it yourself? About 10 years ago I started doing a couple of home theatres a year, and I was appalled at how poor the API and dev environment were. Setting up via Z-wave took about 1/8 of the time and was just as reliable.
