If you can think it, someone out there is trying to do it. And technology has played a major role in turning what-ifs into reality. Now, you can use that technology to transform your house into a fully functional network you can control with the push of a button, and it's Extreme Audio and Video that makes it all happen.

You're already used to being able to control your TV with at least one remote control, and you probably can't imagine your life without it. So Extreme Audio and Video can simplify your multiple remotes to one universal remote and give you the same benefits of that TV remote for everything from your speakers and lights to your blinds and thermostat.

"Imagine with just a single touch, the lights dim, the shades close, the plasma TV turns on and your favorite movie begins. All you need is the popcorn and soda," Owner Nathan Chamberlain says on his Web site.

This "home automation" trend gives you more than just the chance to be lazy. It gives you the chance to actually take advantage of what your house has to offer. For example, being able to control your window treatments easily allows you to take advantage of natural light during the day and give yourself privacy at night.

"Most window treatments are left closed almost all of the time — for privacy, sun control, or just because they are hard to reach. In those cases, your windows may as well be walls," Chamberlain says. "With controllable shading systems, you will use your window treatments all the time and enjoy the full benefits of all your windows every day."

Controlling your window treatments also has energy saving potential, as the natural light can help you decrease the money you spend on lighting your house. Similarly, controlling your thermostat helps you cater your furnace and air conditioner use to you. You can save energy while you're at work but still come home to a comfortable house.

Beyond saving money, you also have a cutting-edge house to show off. Extreme Audio and Video can hook you up with surround sound speakers for your party music, and they can help your TV and sound system become a part of your decor instead of just a bulky addition.
