I agree, the eq is something we used to have through the old app store on os2 so I'm glad they brought it back. The other statement of being 10 years behind I'm not so sure of. What is your automation system of choice that is a better platform? Just curious. C4 has its faults and is definitely not for everyone. Automation isn't for everyone. There are a ton of people who were sold systems with no heads up on how much ongoing maintenance costs, and their systems may have been poorly designed and installed as well but that isn't isolated to C4.
Urc- not even close, no contest. App doesn't look good.
Savant- good system, great app, limited sandbox. Driver based so no full ui customization either when compared to c4. 3rd party profiles lacking.
Crestron home- limited sandbox, app is ok, too new to the block.
Crestron simpl- very capable, more expensive to implement and maintain. No way it meets your criteria.
RTI- lacking in scalability, good customizability, decent product library but more time consuming to implement and maintain compared to c4. Not a fan of handhelds. App is ok.
Logitech and logitech pro- meh and rip
Pro control- marginally better than logitech but only just. Very limited
Diy route- what handhelds would you use? What are your top 3 choices for platforms?
Vera?
Smart things?
Brilliant?
Fibaro?
