WE BELIEVE that every conceivable aspect of your frenetic daily experience should be completely automated and digitally controlled from a single multi-function remote; window coverings will appear or disappear with the wave of a finger; the spa tub will fill to an exact depth at a precise temperature with or without bubbles; accent mood lighting and synchronized theme music shall fade up as you enter each room in your home, announcing to all that you are truly the master of your domain.
