I guess mnay is referring to a couple of years ago when I was helping him out and he requested that I send him an invoice for a couple of Neeos (which were almost impossible to get at the time), and I quoted him I believe 2x Neeos at 20% off msrp and he replied that it was way too expensive or something to that effect (this is one of those guys who only wants to buy used equipment and/or at dealer pricing only).  I also did some programming on his system and found him very difficult to work with, slow to pay invoices, etc...so I nicely let him know at that time that I was very busy and that I didn't want to work with him moving forward.
Fast forward to this past Friday...as you see above he posts on this thread with his phone number that he needs an integrator (not surprisingly).  I didn't reply, because I recognized the user and remembered my unpleasant past experience with him.  Then I started receiving phone calls and text messages from him on Friday evening, saying he needs help getting his security system keypad working with Control4 again.  I didn't respond, and wake up on Saturday morning at 7am my time to missed calls from him.  I informed him via text that I was too busy to work on his system at this time, at which point he asked me if I would be willing to re-consider.  Then he requests that I refer him to another programmer...I ignored that request because I would not want to do that to anyone else...then he starts texting me question marks since I hadn't replied....at which point I informed him that I was going to be blocking his contact...he responds that I am a "cry baby".  Not sure if he messaged me after that (probably, but I blocked him so I don't know thank God)...then he makes this false post above to try to tarnish my reputation.  Just goes to show once again that on the internet, you can post whatever you like, whether there is truth to it or not is up to the reader to decide!

That would be a dealer issue, not C4. C4 wouldn’t even know this end user is having an issue.  Zero foul on their part.  The dealer would always handle this type of issue. Sounds like the dealer did his job and took the remotes back for a refund, which is probably the only fair thing to do once the client gets so disgruntled.  
And, yes, C4 will absolutely want them back for testing. 

@chopedogg88's comment was a little tongue-in-cheek. People can use whatever network gear they want, but at the end of the day, some will work better than others.  These users are simply suggesting to try another AP and see if that works to isolate the issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
As for why Control4, a ~1000 person company, didn't use the technology from Apple, a 165,000 person company? Well, it might have something to do with resources, thats a HUGE difference in the number of people working on problems. Apple probably has 1000+ people working on the Apple Watch Ultra alone. As part of that, they have the resources to develop proprietary chipsets, components, and the like, that yield incredible power management savings, outperforming their competitors by surprising margins. Other companies have to purchase chipsets and components "off-the-shelf" to build their gear and thus take a hit on things like power management, computational performance, etc in order to keep R&D costs down. Oh, and Apple SERIOUSLY protects their IP, so ain't nobody using what Apple uses
At least that's my best guess?

that was going to be my comment/suggestion as well...Andrew beat me to it.  I have a Ruckus R350 in stock if you want to try a real AP.

Have received product from @chopedogg88 and very pleased with responsiveness, knowledge, and suggestions in offering product options.  Just wanted to thanks publicly.

Yup... Same. Would be much easier if it just worked with sddp! 

I started with Niles home automation which I can program myself to Control 4, which is 100% dealer dependent unless you use the Home Edition Composer, which does not allow the addition or removal of any device, thus a moot point for an advanced user like me. I said all that to say working with ARI had renewed my faith in remote programming of any kind. I was pleased and surprised about how painless the effort was, ARI’s knowledge, and how easy it was to follow his instruction onsite, which equally streamlined his “remote” effort.
I previously worked with a local installer which I have grown to detest as he nickeled and dimed us to a point where I regretted ever installing Control4. I heavily invested in the solution, and everything here is C4 controlled, including garage doors and sprinklers, so you can imagine my local installer's chokehold on us. Slow to react and slow to resolve made us look at remote programming options.
Finding ARI and seeing how he works over a few times of using him has made us more of a believer in our Control4 solution.  I never mentioned anything to him about our last installer, but he fielded our call over a simple Internet search and got us working ASAP. His knowledge and skill are impeccable, and with the right set of eyes and even a non-technical mind at the remote end, the process is as smooth as butter.
I wouldn’t say I like leaving reviews on most things, but I saw a quote the other day; it is not necessarily related to this. But, somehow, it encouraged me to speak up when impressed by someone's service, expertise, cautiousness, and overall professionalism.
“If responsible people don't address the real problem in a straightforward way, irresponsible people are going to exploit them. It's an axiom of cultural life.” – Richard Reeves.
Sincere thanks to responsible remote programmers like Ari Chopra.

Works fine in Ea3 

Are you pressing the apply button at the bottom of the table? 

Got my Halo and Core1 setup today. The Halo sat on the charging base about 16 hours before I had time to set it up with the new project. Obviously I haven't had it long enough to comment on battery life. Will know more soon on that as the charging base is not adjacent to our normal chairs for watching TV -- it will get left off the charger soon enough. I don't have uAPSD as an option on my WiFi either.
New remote coupled with an entirely new project, so I would assume that impacted the Halo. The project was still being tweaked after the Halo was added. A few hours later and it seems to be responsive and stable.
The screen is nicer than I expected. Not being a touch screen, I was skeptical but it was very easy to read. We never accessed Dish Hopper DVR media directly before because the SR-260 was too hard to read. Now we will use that feature. I do think this media list UI could be better. Since it is not touch screen, I think it could be a lot denser and there needs to be some sort of animation or feedback when scrolling down the list. The only way to see that you have changed episodes is to read the recording date. 
Maybe they are trying to use the same display of the media as will be needed for a the Halo Touch. I'd rather see more with less dead space. I get it for the Touch.
Siri works as advertised. Had to turn Siri off and back on in the AppleTV to make it work. After that, no issues at all. I'll be happy to put that tiny Siri Remote in the drawer.
Very hopeful. I see a lot of potential.
(Display, iOS vs Halo)

Is your system on MST? Remote should get its time zone from your system settings. 

I can help you with the Siri stuff if you need (remotely).

My vote would be to put it on the charging cradle where it belongs when not using it and stop worrying too much about battery life.

I would also say give things a chance. This is a brand new remote with new technology and new firmware. There's only been one production release and I imagine that further releases will enhance the experience. Don't consider it. A never to be updated product. There will be updates coming out

any chance we are going to see these custom buttons have labels by room?  Seems like its going to cause a lot of confusion if you actually name these buttons (for the default room), then the user changes rooms and the default room button labels still show up on the screen even when the programming for those buttons doesn't match what the labels are...

Turning on a device does not select it in the room.
For example, if you want your custom button to start up the Roku in your room that's connected to your TV, if you just send 'power on' commands to the TV and Roku, the Control4 system doesn't have those devices as being the controlled device and volume endpoint in the room.
What you really want to do is to use a room command (choose your room in programming commands), and use the 'Select a Video Device' command, and choose the Roku (or the appropriate mini apps).
This will cause the Control4 system to turn on all the appropriate devices, and to set the AV path to the correct values so that the device can be controlled in your room as if you had chosen it on the UI.
