Although 1 Week late I have compiled some information from C4 at CEDIA

Here is a link to the Engadget booth tour. There are great pics of everything.

Here are some pictures I didn't take

More info on that custom Circle of Power?

That is showing a version of Control4's 'Suite Systems' software, which is used in the Hospitality market (i.e. for Hotels and Condos, etc.).

It's a different UI from the current Residential UI, although the Residential UI may at some point be updated to use a branch of that codebase.

There's no current schedule as to when that will happen.

It looks neat, I like it. I have some instances in which a different "theme" would fit in better. But hey, what's a little device exploration for?

[RyanE]

The background on the Hospitality UI is configurable, buttons themselves I believe are transparent on top of the background.

I don't know how 'configurable' the UI is other than the background-type themes.

What is the device on the wall to the right of the thermostat?

You can only see not quite half of it?

[RyanE]

It's actually the keypad for a Jandy Pool Controller.

That demo showed the pool controller getting set to heater off during high energy use (along with the lights dimming, the electric water heater and AC getting turned off), and getting restored when the energy alert was over.
