I finally built my own Apple HomeKit smart theater right in my basement. geni.us/MovieTheater With gear from Sonos, Valerion, Weilianda, Serena Shades, Nanoleaf, and VividStorm, this setup lets me hit one button and everything just works — lights dim, shades close, projector fires up, and the screen rises.

In this video, I’ll walk you through what worked, what I’d change, and how I made it all run through Apple HomeKit. From smart seating to sound and automation, this is the theater I always wanted.
