Here's an idea I have had, and it actually ties in with a project Daox is working on/has mostly completed...
Temperature dependent door/shade opening and closing. If it's warmer between the glass and shade, the shade opens (in the winter), then when the room gets warm enough the doors open, automatically! Opposite for when the room starts to cool down. You can get a summer setting and a winter setting. You would also want it easy to temporally disable in case you wanted the doors open late at night for some reason. You may even be able to do all of this with one controller. I don't know much about the programming, but your Arduino actuated grill block would be perfect if you could figure it out.
