Either a arduino UNO or mega (depends on the amount of devices I want to control and I'm too lazy to use shift registrars)
Xbee for wireless control of other rooms
Pc to control the arduino
Ethernet shield (to control it over the Internet but that will be later. Keeping it simple now)
Photoresistor to control blinds (depending on amount of light)
Rain detector to control the storm shutters
That's all I can think of now but I'll keep updating when I think of more stuff
