Subject: Freshman MIT Students Automate Dorm Room
Atricle: _Two freshman MIT students have_ [_automated their dorm room_](http://web.mit.edu/zacka/www/midas.html)_, complete with a big red party button which generates an instant party. Their custom-engineered system is called MIDAS, the Multi-Function In Dorm Automation System. According to the_ [_MIT News office_](http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2006/autodorm-0524.html)_, "Gone are the light switches and glaring fluorescent lights of a typical dorm room. Zack Anderson and RJ Ryan’s room has several lighting schemes, remote web access, voice activation, a security system, electric blinds and more … With the touch of one red button, their dorm room becomes a rave. The lights go out, the blinds close, the displays read, “feel the energy” as a voice repeats the same phrase over a deep bass beat_

I can sell you everything that you need to make it happen minus the startrek beam howie down device. The red push button is just a rockwell twistlock pushbutton, and it is mostly a very simple control circut. Automating your house isn’t too hard, just costly… but for a quagmire style living room, can you put a price tag on it
