Good questions, unfortunately I don't understand all of the inter-relationships and inner workings of everything Control4 makes...so perhaps best answered by someone from Control4 who really does. All I know is that troubleshooting 101 has taught me over the years that technology has glitches/bugs/etc and the first thing I do before digging much deeper is to try a quick reboot of the devices in question since that only takes a minute or two, and 95% of the time that solves the problem. If not, then look deeper.
