    Ah yes, to add a HALO your system will need to be on the current OS 3.3.2.xxxxxxx

    You cannot update yourself, though your dealer, or any of the remote dealers on here should you wish to reach out, can start the update remotely - a site visit isn't a requirement as such.

    NOW - here's to hoping you don't have an HC800 in there.....

     

    Any dealer want to help me out? I will pay.

    So that you don't have to buy a Josh nano/micro for that room if you already have the remote.  or if you already had one in the room, the remote might tend to hear you better especially if there is some background noise, since its presumably within arm's distance of your mouth.

    When can I buy the Halo?  it said Q4, however no specific date.  Any dealers selling on here?  $500 is not bad at all.

    Which processor do you have?

    If your system wasn’t being updated, it’s likely your project has been corrupted and the processor is failing to boot and stuck in a boot loop. 
     

    the flashing lights indicates  a factory restore is happening. 

    I’ve had processors do this in the past and they’ve needed to be replaced / Rma’d. 
     

    you could try a network reset. 

    To reset the controller network settings to the default:
    1 Disconnect power to the controller.
    2 While pressing and holding the ID button on the back of the controller, reconnect power to the controller.
    3 Hold the ID button until the data, link and power LEDs are solid blue, then immediately release the button.
    4 If the caution LED stays orange during the boot sequence, press and hold the ID button until the caution LED blinks blue, and then release it.
        

    Thanks

    Sadly, still flashing Red.

    I have a C4-EA3.....how much does a replacement cost?

    I completely agree, if you don't like it don't buy it. If you are happy with your 250/260/phone/tablet etc just use that. No one was forced to upgrade remotes. 

    And it’s OK to have expectations from a company as well.   I’m never going to settle!   We are being critical because the competition is on the cutting edge and have been for a while now.  We like Control4 and that is why we post because we want the best and not sloppy seconds

     

     

     

    Neeo C4 Remote announcement

    Yup. That's totally worth the extra $300. Flash and RAM is super expensive these days. C'mon.

    But one questions remains unanswered by C4. Why did C4 intentionally remove the replaceable battery? Is it not to further screw the unlucky souls who have decided to beta test your $600 "new" remote? I'll give my guess. Tell me if this rings true. C4 did not do any hardware development at all with Neeo. All of the alleged improvements C4 has been touting as new, were already in the so-called "Neeo Pro" that Neeo developed before they were bailed out by C4. My guess is prior to the acquisition,  Neeo decided to remove that feature, probably because they were unquestionably an ego-driven, poorly-run company that didn't give a shit about their customers, which incidentally is why they needed to be bailed out by C4 in the first place. So C4 takes the Neeo Pro releases it unchanged, and as a consequence, we end up with a half-baked product.

    So why didn't C4 fix the hardware? I mean how hard could it be to add backlighting? Well because they needed to focus on the software. It wasn't easy to port Neeo over to C4, and releasing new hardware would only complicate that. So they made a decision, as RyanE conceded. Release hardware they know has drawbacks (i.e. is shitty), with the hopes that a few suckers will buy it and be beta testers for the software. So there you have it--that's how we ended up with C4's "new" remote.

    So what do I predict is going to happen? Well per RyanE's earlier post, C4 will release some new remote (likely sooner than later (although admittedly he is not saying that)). The new remote is going to be super expensive. Can you even imagine how expensive if $300 only buys you some extra flash and RAM? 

    Per quotes I have been reading, $600 is not expensive and we should be thankful that it’s not more expensive like its competitors..I guess I should keep quiet and say thank you Control4 for this product.  However, there is some saying on this thread that Control4 will update this remote(software, etc).  So I will go back to being thankful and keep quiet, as us commoners should do.  I’m positive that Control4 will reach out to us users to ask for feedback...while I wait for that I will continue to play the lottery..which has a better chance?

    $600 is not a lot  of money for a touch screen remote. I recall some of the Phillips pronto touch screen remotes which we all loved where more then that. Control4 is not for the Low budget users. 
      

    Welp, that sums it up.  I guess I was asking for too much out of a $600 dollar remote.  I guess my expectation can be warranted once it is over 1k or more.   I will go back to Harmony Remote with the common folk.
