Well in this case it was one of the Facebook groups.

Lets us know brand, model of recorder, and if the cameras are plugged into the recorder or the network switch; which you can tell by looking at the back of the recorder, is there 1 network cable to it, or several.

There's a device coming from Luma for x10 and x20 cameras, whether that gets expanded for other ONVIF cameras is unknown, but hopefully.
It will do the AI and create clips in history for review.
You may try creating a dedicated email account, and send stills/clips there for a reviewable history, granted it's not inside the app, but my clients find it helpful to quickly see a day.

When I was an installer, the company I worked for happily took on most customers who contacted us. Most installers will imho, but they'll simply charge per hour
When existing customers get rejected, it could be for a few reasons though. But often:
Really ancient Control4 equipment the customer won't upgrade (like equipment released in 2008. Generally this is a purchased house, but sometimes installers are reluctant to touch it because of the support. A DIY Network / bad network setup (unmanaged switches, crappy mesh network, ethernet over power, buggy "wifi 7" routers residental grade routers, etc). This is FAIRLY common actually, even in multi-million dollar houses which have been set up by the family. Sometimes it can be hard to convince people their overpriced junk sucks..  They are clearly shopping around for the cheapest quote, or for a quote to take elsewhere. There's been times we got quote requests for the same customer from different locations.. They are purchasing lots of ebay equipment they want installed, which could potentially be embernet, is heavily outdated, hasn't been deregistered properly, or is faulty. Again, most installers would go, but charge per hour, and not warrant it, or offer free support. The installer is fairly busy

Eggzlot,
Savant has added license fees based on project size, stipulates minimum controller, and what third party devices are in the project. $$$$s
Apparently dealers were selling it like Josh. Using Sonos and Lutron.

A generator is a gas engine. It changes speed based on load, fuel, air quality etc, thus the output AC is going to be 'dirty', or fluctuate.
A simple appliance or incandescent bulb doesn't care. BUT, since the whole conservation era and devices using less power, more devices then ever DO care, smaller electronics power supplies can't store and smooth the power like the old days.
An inverter 'cleans' the power, doing a DC to AC conversion, to produce a more stable AC sinewave with less distortion and thus less fluctuations.
Which your modern electronics and lighting require since they use the sinewave cycle for timing amongst other things.
The short time between grid and generator coming online is the critical moment, when it all goes bad. (Or grid brownouts, where the voltage drops)
The lawyers for generators don't allow for simple indications of the type of output, and result in "electronics friendly" type marketing terms.
All of the above, also applies to UPS battery backups and their ability to provide electronics friendly output.

It's also worth noting that there may be higher spec features available outside the spec in lower spec (DV and eARC available in 2.0, for example). Just because something exists as part of a spec doesn't mean it can't exist outside of it. Or better said: You can have eARC without HDMI 2.1. But you can't have HDMI 2.1 without eARC.

Yes. the "things" (several vendors) provide the HDCP 2.2 key and EDID to the source device that it can't get from the 1.4 port that you're trying to connect to.

That should work unless bedroom 3 was set to a local only source that couldn’t be routed to the kitchen.
can you manually do that scenario?
Room Control driver per room would be the alternative.

1. A 16 zone matrix, all sources everywhere in sync
2. A second response series amp for outside, if you want inside and outside you'll be Ying out a couple of sources to feed both matrix
3. A receiver or remote preamp to drive the patio if you weren't planning on adding more zones.

This is a Control4 orientated forum, where it so happens a lot of Control4 dealers do use Araknis.
Araknis is used by a lot of dealers because it's not consumer level, nor is it as complicated as enterprise, and has dealer tech support and cloud features.
A 2gig forum will be able to better answer your questions about the system and it's networking requirements.
 

Button needs to be setup as Toggle Load (or Load On or Load Off but I cant say I've ever used either of those)
Once it's set to Keypad then it relies on a controller to function.

In Composer Pro you can setup one of the buttons to directly control the load that's wired to the KD, only that button so set will function without an online controller.

Deep Linking - tapping a notification sends you to that device in the app
User Management and Account Details in app rather than just in portal
Surveillance Experience Updates - live scrolling thumbnails
x20 Luma Camera Audio Support in App
Coming Q4 - New Lighting Picker, Easier Scene Editing, Easier Wallpaper, Settings Redesign (makes it sound like App update rather than hardware OS)
Coming Soon - TuneIn Driver Update - premium Tune In Support
Firmware for T4 to address Image Jitter
Must be on 3.31 or better
~65 Bug Fixes
Terminal Access removed

That's why they made the One.
Everyone just sees them as Voice.
They are focusing on being the butler for Lutron, Sonos, Nest, Roku, Xfinity etc.
Bringing them together in one app and allowing inter-system commands.

$850 MSRP US with a SR260 puts it near to a ProControl ($650) or URC (~$600) and gets the end user a whole lot more; growth ability, music streaming, on screen, remote support, included app, etc.

 

SONY ES have stable HDMI Zone 2, starting at $1700 in the current line up though, STRAZ3000es and higher.
The 1000es level does not have zone 2 this year, if you can locate an older 1100es that would be the price deal.

As Alan mentioned, if the system is not receiving from the app the "stop ramping up command" due to a network issue, then modding the driver isn't going to solve anything.
Your experience where volume down was sent, and then it did a volume up, suggest a delay or it was still processing the original volume up command.
When the HC800 existed, were the IR plugged into it, or still the IO extender? Might try moving it to the Core5 directly, one less hop.
The only other thing to suggest (other than network) is to add a 1 sec or 1.5 sec timer to programming. When volume up start received, start timer, timer expires send volume up stop. Max volume up ramp would be limited to timer length.

Right?
Lots of AI engines to do the processing, all they need is a mic in a keypad lighting body.
Use the same buttons snap on idea to make both styles. Top tripple button for the mics, and then for do not disturb, and feedback, mute and volume use the other 3 slots.

Who knows, Amazon's loosing money in the Alexa department, they could rent out the server that does the voice to data part to pay the rent.
