Looks like it will do what every other android device will plus have their own aggregator app? Have to subscribe for the app I’m guessing. They are pushing Sling pretty hard. Dish can die in a fire as far as I’m concerned. For C4 control it does mean the IRUSB should work.

My dreams of AirPlay 2 keep slipping.

I already have a Raptor so it better be amazing.

No streaming service offers lossless Atmos. It's all going to be compressed DD+, which may not matter depending on your ears and equipment. If you want uncompressed TrueHD Atmos is either going to be from a UHD BD or a rip from that BD. It's also has to be played back on a device that can bitstream the audio track. Shield is currently the only one that can besides a Windows PC from a rip. The only one that will do what you want is the 2019 Shield and give you the option to go Plex with a local library of TrueHD movies. Only reason I asked about the projector is because the one limitation currently with the Shield is that it can't tonemap HDR from UHD to HD. If you have all HDR UHD displays you are golden.

If you have local media you can install Plex server on any PC(Windows, Mac Linux) and check out the Plex interface on any PC(Windows, Mac, Linux, including the one the server is on) If you only want to stream and don't have any local media then as mentioned Plex isn't for you. Now you mentioned Atmos. You are not getting Dolby True HD Atmos (lossless) with any of the streaming services, it is DD+. It will be Atmos but compressed and not at the same quality as the BD. If that matters then you might want to look into setting up a local library. To go deeper into the weeds, a Windows PC and Shield are the ONLY devices (minus dedicated BD players and boxes like Kalied$cope) that will let you bitstream Dolby True HD. Do you have a theater room with a projector?

Why I said for ballers

Biggest drawback about C4 is the screens which I also find mediocre and the lack of ability to make them more custom. Maybe look at Crestron which a good dealer can make amazing for ballers.

Upgrade them to Protect when video adapter becomes available. It will have HDMI out.

I was hoping for Airplay 2 drivers. Guess I will need to keep holding my breath.

Crickets?

IPSec yes with hardware offloading. Supposedly can do 800MBps. They can do OpenVPN but I’m sure it’s pretty slow.

Sonos works as an end point for Roon, so it should integrate just fine with Nucleus AFAIK. As a Roon user with C4 Matrix amps I do it opposite and use Shareplay as endpoints in Roon.

Just ordered a pair of UDM-Pros to replace two USG-Pros. If you have Gig internet and want to use IPS then the UDM-Pro is really the only option. Also the VPN is pretty slow on the USG, UDM-Pro should fix that.

Absolutely. Put it on Facebook Marketplace, then buy a truck.

As the title says, anyone have one?

It's all click and drag so AFAIK it should be very easy.

I have 11 large Somfy motor shades at the front of my business. They all seem to start at slightly different times, almost like the master remote sends the commands to each one in sequence.

It should AFAIK. I don’t have a Nucleus which is required to bring Roon into C4 so I can’t say how it well it works in C4. It should allow you to make anything that works as a Roon endpoint work as a C4 end point with the Roon mini app in C4. IE you can’t use native C4 streaming to the Roon created end points. There is a free trial of Roon though so you can set up a system to see how well it all works with it’s native app.

https://download.roonlabs.com/control4/Roon_Control4.pdf Roon integrates your music with Tidal and Qubuz. Or could be used with the two streaming services alone. Might be worth looking into.

Get a Roon core. Dump Denon and get NAD AVRs.

I have mine setup to turn on the garage and mud room lights when I open the garage door only if the alarm is armed. The door sensors are seen by C4 from the alarm integration.

I have a non integrated Jacuzzi JVX pump, it does have bluetooth for programming. I have a Pentair panel and should have got a intelipump but wasn't thinking. But once I got it set the way I wanted I never touch it except to back wash and clean the filter. I as going to get the panel integrated until I realized the only time I ever do anything I'm already out there by the panel anyway. Would rather add an intelichem now more than anything.

As a lazy iPhone user I guess I just prefer to listen to things on the fly or via Roon.

It's worthless because you could just as easily Airplay Spotify, or anything else for that matter. IMHO.

I recommend a new car. Spotify support in C4 is pretty much worthless IMHO.
