1. A fixture operation system comprising:
a fixture;
a first electro-mechanical element associated with the fixture;
a second electro-mechanical element associated with the fixture, wherein the second electro-mechanical element is communicatively coupled to the first electro-mechanical element;
a communication interface;
a processor; and
a computer-readable storage media coupled to the processor and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
providing, via the communication interface, fixture data determined according to an employment of the first and second electro-mechanical elements,
receiving, via the communication interface, parameters relating to a scheduled automatic operation of the fixture including an execution time;
determining, based on the parameters, at least one command relating to the scheduled fixture operation;
providing the at least one command to the first electro-mechanical element or the second electro-mechanical element for execution at the execution time; and
