No. They wouldn’t be able to sell many 70v systems if this were the case. We use outdoor 70v systems from Sonance & Episode. They require a separate amp, so you will only be using an output of your AMS24, and no extra channels from your 8 ohm amps need to be used.
The closer you get, the easier life will be. You can always use a higher end model that has more features & I/O than what you physically have.
I have in my notes that the AVR-S970h and the AVR-X2800h have basically identical rear panels, but that’s as far as I got with my list lol.
You can control them just fine with X series drivers—you just have to ID them via IP address rather than via SDDP. The same works for controlling RX-V series Yamahas using RX-A series drivers by the way.
FWIW: we have a client with ten Neeos. He started out with 4 and liked them so much he added another 6. We have several others with between four & six of them in their systems. All these systems are using all UniFi networks (router, switches, & APs). We rarely have any trouble with them.
The Roku driver has a “sub-driver” called Roku channels & selecting that on a GUI will bring up a list of all the apps on that Roku, and selecting one will launch the app.
You don’t know they’ve stopped making Neeo remotes & they’re end of sale, you don’t know about the new upcoming remotes, and you’re trying to integrate a system designed by a homeowner? I feel sorry for your clients.
Ubiquiti/UniFi is definitely not on a C4 “blacklist”. We have close to 150 Control4 systems running on all-UniFi networking gear (routers, switches, & APs) with zero issues.
Episode Response amps will be fine compared to Triad gear.
I integrated an $18k Sub-Zero fridge that had a “party” setting as part of its API, which would tell it to make ice faster. I added that into a Party scene for A/V & lighting.
