An a EA1 is their entry level for AV and automation but is limited to 1 room for control so an EA3 is more ideal. You will have to be a dealer to have access to composer pro for programming though which doesn't give you time beforehand unless you buy a system, get it initially set up and you buy composer HE to get some access to the software side of things, I have installed quite a few harmony elites and control4 definitely wipes the floor with them when you have more than 2 rooms and if devices are shared with splitters or a matrix then it is way out of their wheelhouse due to limited IR ports as well as difficulty sharing 1 hub for 2 rooms becomes troublesome because certain parts of the activity macros that are generated cannot be deleted like turning off both zone1 and 2 of an avr without a lot of tweaking and tricking the remote to fire fake commands

Thank you for the insight and comparison to the Harmonies.
I'll look into it and try to get a EA3.

Best Regards,

I think the 6 room limit has been relaxed as I noticed recently that you can have more than six remotes/hubs tied to your account.  Certainly it used to be six and that was a binding limit for me.

Yes they have become more relaxed and offering 15 rooms per account as far as I know plus you can set-up a pro account to manage multiple account and more easily change settings remotely.
But if been frustrated several times with the limited functionality of the harmony remotes and that they don't offer proper control of software over IP.
I've installed probably over 30 harmony remotes but am now looking into something more robust and my friend suggested Control4. What would be a good Control4 hub to buy first to use mainly as testing and proof of concept?
I want to get on hands experience fist control4 first before I offer solutions with it to my clients.
Any recommendation is appreciated
