My theater takes 40 seconds to come fully online and be stabilized at my most common input at the start (Tivo). I know why this happens (AVP startup, Power amplifier startup, projector startup, and lamp warmup, room light diming, shades dropping, main doors closing) The Theater is fully under the control of a PC so all of the operations are overlapped, with the Projector having the (controlling) longest delay. My solution is to tell Alexa to start the theater a few minutes before I am ready to watch.
Fantastic use of Alexa. Warming up the theater.
We use "please wait" screens on the remotes/touchpanels. Obviously doesn't change how long it takes but it sets the expectation for clients and becomes "normal" wait time.
