    1) I'm not going to blow an alias. 2) I don't trust you. 3) It seems my comment was wholly misinterpreted as wanting to ban a user, not the case, so maybe my example was bad. That was more or less just stating that I'm not a pushover/lightweight when it comes to impacting change within the system. I actually enjoy the whole hacker scenario and would only close things through software innovation rather than restricting people by other means. The hacks show where security is lacking.

    Didn't expect a random parenting discussion, but okay. Based on the context, it was a warning and clarification of what will be done since the response to my comment about severing the functionality of the integration was that I wasn't going to do anything. Hoping nothing happens and integration remains is pushing luck.

    That wasn't a threat, it was a warning. It's good to know what kind of employer you would be. Thankfully, those above me understand the difference between a warning and a threat and would also be the ones determining if I need to ensure somebody is no longer allowed in the ecosystem as an installer or a user.

    Edit* Multidisplay driver focuses on video sharing. It is the replacement for the video wall driver.

    Yep. I recall the community being about 200-300 vs the Control4 customer base being 400k+, so .05% of users are in there.

    That's fair. It could have been a discussion area in a few places and could explain why Neeo was purchased instead of a remote being developed and why the C4 thermostat took so long to be replaced. Waiting on third party devices to provide a solution hurt Control4, and I'm glad that all hardware development didn't stop. The places hardware was created gave a very good argument to keep our own devices in every category.

    Interestingly, that wasn't the case at all. The Control4 audio system was healthy and improving at the same time the Sonos integration was maintained the best it could. That same period was 2.10.x where the mass amount of native services were introduced and 2.10.x saw improvements on the advanced audio with the introduction of the Triad One.

    You must have not used the latest version of the app, it is faster than it has been (yes, it was slow on some systems and the iOS app was slower than the Android app) Camera resolution is limited by EAs OSD at 720p, if that is ignored, 1080p works across the board for mobile app and touchscreens. I don't use a separate app to view my cameras, but that is anecdotal.

    Best way is split it into two 'room's in the project design so you can have both active at the same time and turn each off independently. So one 'room' for bedroom video and one 'room' for bedroom audio.

    2 app? It's one now. I don't think that argument happens. It's more or less why a specific feature is not integrated, like Airplay 2, or Apple Music, etc. If an entire solution was a better experience, there would be no heartache over Control4 being a non-diy solution.

    As a Snap One employee on beta, I'm glad my wife has some patience, lol

    hmm, interesting thoughts.

    I agree with your categories of those interested in home automation. Control4 targets and builds around #1. #2 and #3 just get upset because the DIY alternatives aren't close to the same functionality. #2 and #3 are targets of Alexa, Google Assistant, and other DIY platforms.

    Open source is valuable where it is. Not all open source is secure, but that's why OSRBs exist and open source needs continually audited for vulns. Control4 would not exist without opensource services and utlities, but the magic happens in non-open source code.

    The reasoning is not because it will make the dealers mad. It's literally because the dealer model is considered a better solution than DIY. It's 1000 times easier supporting individuals that are paid to install the solution than the random DIY hobbyist. HE usage is extremely low. It's not something used by more than a handful of customers.
