    ^ My 2 cents? Well, Control4 should have done something like this years ago... 
     
    In many ways, they were way ahead of Apple and the HA field in general. Way ahead and dynamic.....
     
    Their wonderful platform has had this capability and similar potential for ages...
     
    But they locked distribution down. And have relied too heavily and too long on pretty much entire third party driver development... that is basically dealer based. And dealers think and have different interests from end users. So there becomes a kind of "disconnect". Seems to me, there should be way more end user focused in-house R&D. A while back, in my opinion, they made a *huge* error in judgement going with Flash. So the product continues to suffer.....
     
    Development and innovation seems to have ground to a hault, and alas the product from a long time users perspective seems tired and boring even.... 
     
    It's not that I don't still love this product, I do. It's great. It just seems stagnant. Maybe stagnant is good in HA once in a while... I don't know... 
     
    But it's not like others as well around here haven't been telling them these sorts of things.
     
    We have been trying to give them a "heads up" on this for quite some time.....
