    Technology changes quickly.  The lesson I learned is that it's best to spackle up the holes in my walls and not make the same mistake again.

    I think it's fair for Control4 to EOL a 9 year old product.  It's also fair for me to not invest in a product that costs $900 per screen plus installation cost.

    This is a pretty brutal update.  Losing MYHome on Mac is terrible, I use it all the time.  Having to replace in wall touchscreens isn't fun and replacing my HC-250 (Which I only use as IR extenders) is pretty tough to swallow.

    Yes, the 'Advanced Audio' (OS 2.10+/3.0) version of the SpeakerPoint is the Triad One.
    Much better audio quality and better power output as well.

    I have one touchscreen and when it is no longer supported I will not use another one. Voice is the way I control my house. The fewer analog/physical interfaces I have the happier I am.

    Reasonable is subjective.  To me, 9 years of support is reasonable.  To me, $7-$10k for 1-2 controllers and 4 new touchscreens to get an enhanced UI is not reasonable.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

    Uh, road maps are typically shared in industries with complicated supply chains so that customers can plan their own purchasing and manufacturing accordingly.  that really doesn't exist here.  That said, the armchair lawyer opinions being shared here about trade secrets and insider trading can safely be ignored - none are even close.  Sincerely, an IP lawyer.

    You can't confirm that. 
    And if you actually could confirm that or not, you would be breaking the law. So, let's say you DO have an inside source. You're risking their job and/or their freedom by sharing this.
    Conjecture is great. Pretending to have official word when there is no official word is not. It's pretentious and annoying, and if you're actually right, it's reckless.

    Kevin L, ever heard of the word Petty?
    - Maybe they shouldn't spread the news so it's easy to find on google...maybe you should ban google?  Thats probably the best move.  Yeah, ban Google...SMH.

    Not that I could find online.  But, Just look on Google before Kevin L. bans them (google).  Thats how I get my information, as I am just a end user, as my profile says.  I have no knowledge of inner workings at Control4 or now Snap AV?  Or 4 Snap?  or Snap 4 Control?

    chesterwilson got a reaction from Gary Leeds UK in Apple announces Homekit - Threat or Opportunity?   
    Neither.  
     
    Apple going for the low end of HA, lower cost less complicated integration (affordable to the masses).
     
    C4 at the top end, higher cost (albeit less than it's competitors, but very niche).
     
    If I were a CTRL shareholder I'd be pretty pissed because the major growth is going to be driven by the less complicated DIY integration.  Sure there will be some more business and exposure in the higher end market but no where near what the current stock price has priced in.  
     
    As I've said in the past if you are a shareholder in CTRL you are banking on a takeover.  Nothing to this day leads me to believe that management is competent enough to transform or significantly grow it's business model.
