Audio Video Term

Automation Controller

Automation Controller is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Automation Controller is the hardware brain that stores programming and coordinates commands between devices, interfaces, and subsystems.

Example of Automation Controller

A custom remote or touchscreen can start Apple TV, switch the receiver input, dim the lights, and set the correct room volume without juggling apps. In that kind of Davis control system project, the term Automation Controller would describe the hardware brain that stores programming and coordinates commands between devices, interfaces, and subsystems. Davis would use that understanding to account for the control interface, button layout, macros, processor programming, and remote-support plan, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
