What speed are you referring to? How fast a zigbee light turns on? Your project is run in the CA-10. Speed isn’t the idea behind the Core series. It’s to open a ton of new features that the current EA series ultimately won’t natively support. The benefits of Core that are already released have been discussed. Thing beyond that is a guess, because Control4 is very tight-lipped about future features etc. If you are around if a Core5 is faster than a CA-10, no. If you are asking if a Core5 is faster than an EA5, yes …but not that noticeably. It’s more about features which require “horsepower per se” not necessarily speed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So long as there is a driver available. Control4 is doing a good job with generic Zwave drivers for things like lighting etc. For a lot of us, this is a big step for Control4 to open up many more device mfrs and protocols. Prior to the latest Core/Zigbee 3.0/Zwave updates, Control4 was said to support over 13,000 devices. I imagine that has/will increase drastically with the new Core launch.

“Director” - in the simplest of terms is the program that runs your system, executes the commands given via interfaces and programming, runs the drivers scripts etc. in other words, your CA-10 is the brain. Some other tasks are handled by your secondary controllers (EA or Core), like your zigbee mesh, Ryff audio if you are using native audio and OSD (in the case of the Core1,3&5 - 4K) also on the case of the Core3 & 5 relay(s) and contact(s) and Zwave. Head to head, the Core controllers are more powerful than their EA counterparts, but that’s simply the new electronics. Aside from the above differences, there is much more in store for the Core series once further OS versions are released. All of that said, unless you need to integrate all of the 3rd party zigbee devices and zwave devices (remember that even though Control4 is migrating to zigbee 3.0 and a current zwave protocol, specific device drivers for certain devices may or may not be offered natively -I assume a bunch of 3rd party drivers will come as well to cover devices Control4 doesn’t include natively), there is not a good enough reason to upgrade “today”. A lot of our Control4 audio clients are interested in the new DACs (allegedly better), but on a typical distributed audio system the sound improvement won’t be that noticeable if at all. Clients that run a (or an few) audiophile quality zones, may benefit. Don’t waste the money at this point unless something specific calls you. Wait until the new Core magic powers are released. And at some point (I don’t see it anytime soon), the EA’s will no longer be supported. But for now, we know they are good up to OS3.3. To be fair, not everyone jumps on new OS releases. We have very happy clients still running OS2 systems.

bump with price reduction.

MSRP right now is approaching $1700. Crazy increases since the T4 launch. So based on that and the fact that a lot of people will have to get a dealer involved and pay tax, shipping, markup and install, my prices are very fair. I have only a few left.

Neil is beloved around here. If you’ve worked with him you know. I’ve only dealt with him on a dealer to dealer basis, but he was a real solid gentleman and it was always nice to run across someone he’s worked with. The allegiance is palpable.

PM for pricing. Thx.

Video distribution is a luxury and anywhere we can integrate it, we do. 1. No local equipment allows for a clean installation. Often, there are zones that you “can’t” hide local equipment (bathrooms, kitchens, etc). 2. Minimizes the number of required sources Roku, Shield, ATV & Plex aren’t crazy expensive sources, but if you add a Kaleidescape or NVR it feels necessary. Same with rented cable boxes, etc. 3. Allows for each display to play the same source (watching the big game while cooking or cleaning the house). Also great for a party/entertaining with music. All screens can show track playing and cover art for instance. 4. Allows for an NVR programmatically to display cameras upon a certain event. (ie Doorbell press, line crossed, motion sensed). The Snapshot and Room Control Drivers make this pretty simple. (ie - pause what the display is playing, show the camera or cameras for 15 seconds return to source and pick up where the room was left). There are ways to do Cameras (OSD via Controllwr behind each display), but it’s limited to Camera sharing and gets very expensive. 5. Lastly, we distribute audio as a standard. Aside from cost (which in many cases can be justified - see above), it’s equally a quasi-necessary integration. And there is always the general fact that you have now a deeper smart integration, which is what we all strive for …budget willing.
