Hello all, I have the system in my sig and a lintronic controlling things in the main room.
i am getting to the point where I want more control over multirooms so I can turn down one room from another and get feedback from the system.
i have a lintronic in my living room that is run from a bv7, I want to buy a curtain track for my bay window to put in some curtains.
Any ideas of where to get a good one?
IR would be a good idea or something that can give feedback for a future system, I did look into control four but its dealer only. Where is bang and olufsen going with automation will the tv end up a device that is controlling things or will it be a device that is controlled.
any ideas anyone?

Hi there I am also looking into electric blinds and curtains. There is someone on eBay who sells electric curtain rails and there's also a website called lets automate that does a lot of bits like that. Stoobie told me about lets automate as he has a lot of home automation. I am just waiting to get my blinds done I think I am going to use somfy as they can be controlled via siemens lightwave rf range. Which is a range of radio frequency controlled plug sockets and light switches very smart and very easy to use just swap existing switch/socket and hey presto ready to go. I did used to use lutron rania but they don't have a triple dimmer option and also I haven't came across anyone who makes a remote plug socket yet not a nice one like lightwave rf. the only ones I have seen are ugly and plug straight into a normal pug there not a replacement. With a remote as ugly to Match. Lightwave rf does ones that plug in which don't look that bad meaning you can simply plug and play.
Hope some of this helps
Found this site a while back and the curtain tracks are compatible with RAKO, LUTRON & SOMFY (plus others) so you should be able to get them working with your Beo Remote.
The site I suggested to/by 2012Martin are very reliable and I have bought a fair amount from them in the past! The SilentGliss track range they sell is available for bay windows but not sure if they show that on their site - Silent Gliss website is a good place to start.
I have one of these (B&O version) and use it with my Beo4 & Beo5 and it can be used with iPhone and android (I'm about to try out the android use). You can get RF actuators for blinds and electric curtain control (they sell them on the site) and if you are a bit techy it is fairly easy to get it all working.
