This is without a doubt one of the coolest home automation projects I have seen in a long while. When it comes time to get the party started, press a button and turn your home into a sleazy nightclub. The Emergency Party Button project cost Brian Gaut a total of $634 and was designed with the following objectives:

• Turn off hallway light
• Close the blinds
• Turn on the fog machine
• Turn off the kitchen light
• Turn off the poker light
• Turn off the living room lights
• Start the mp3 (Haddaway – What is love)
• Turn on the blacklights
• Turn on the laser when the main beat of the song starts
• Turn on the strobe light when the chorus starts

Did our young designer succeed? Sit back, put your feet up and watch the video after the jump to find out.

A pretty good job don’t you think? If you want more information on the build, Brian provides comprehensive instructions as to how to get the job done on the Emergency Party Button website. [Emergency Party Button via PopSci]
