    Yes! That´s the way!
    I tried first with Netflix and did´nt work. Tried with Roku and works perfect!
    Do you know why this? 
    And why doesnt work if I tried directly with Roku and not the room?
    Thank you msgreenf and mujatba

    And doing this at room level is (arguably in most cases) better than at source level...

    yes, cause Netlflix isn't the real source, Roku is...Netlfix is just an app launch shortcut

    Yep, totally agree.
    On our course, the people with the most problems where some older guys with a more traditional electrician background (from sockets and cables to "programming").
    But if you´re coming from IT, you shouldn´t have any issues.

    We can't share too much Because we were warned that if we give any answers or any of the questions to the exam we would lose our licensing/certification. But the way their doing the 4 day class now is pretty awesome. Because of covin you don't have to travel to them anymore. I don't know there still doing it this way but I got to do it with one of my computers had zoom and the whole class was on the same zoom meeting and then I had another computer Log on to a program called Teamviewer. Teamviewer is so you can log in to one of their stations in Salt Lake City to program c4 system. I chose to do the Chicago class because the class starts at 9:00 a.m. and I live in Florida so I am an hour ahead of them so really my class started at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time period that gave me time for him to go to the office and get all my guys out for the day and still be able to run My business. Once the class starts I had My phone on silent because you really do want to pay attention. They give you plenty of opportunities for breaks and lunch, even at the end couple hours of class it's mostly lab. If you have to choose which location I would highly recommend the Chicago class as my instructor was absolutely amazing.

I can't remember the name of the gentleman that man the Salt Lake City terminals but he is probably one of the most knowledgeable C for programmers I've ever met.

Really the only time the problem wasn't solved right away is when the person on the other side, but student, could not follow directions or just didn't listen lol. It was amazing to watch him grade the final exam lab. Hes done so many it's like 2nd nature but the cool thing was that if something didn't work when he hit a button , He didn't just mark it off he then at the end went through the actual written programming to either see if it's right and it was a hardware issue or it was wrong but then he took a second and explained what you did wrong. That was cool because even though he was the only one besides the main instructor grading the lab exams he still cared enough to take a second and explain what you did wrong and how you could do it differently in the future. .
    The only thing that could read class better is if they would have made it a 5 day class instead of 4. I know that's a lot but a 5th day would have been nice to really go over 3rd party integrations, IR codes that are not in their database and how to proceed and a couple other items.

I know that's a lot but a 5th day would have been nice to really go over 3rd party integrations, IR codes that are not in their database and how to proceed and a couple other items. Since I was coming from a URC Total Control 2.0 World, Where their databases have just about every device known to man, It took me a minute or 2 on my 1st c4 job to figure out how to find different IR codes and how to change and build custom drivers. I was a little spoiled with URC and how easy they make their Build a driver program but now that I'm immersed in C4 I see a lot of pluses and minuses and different benefits. I Will probably never go back to URC and stick with C4 for life but always keep my option open to maintain the urc jobs I have out there and of course if a customer really want URC I would still do it but really try to talk them into Control 4.
    URC definitely has the advantage when programming with their accelerator That automatically billed to macros and layouts but C4 has a more rock solid program.
    Like I said there's pluses and minuses for both and I guess it all depends on what direction the customer wants to go in.
    The class has a lot of good hands on programming and the manual For the class that you print out I still used to this day for a good reference.
    Hope that helps answers your question

    Well, it´s runthrough of everything, from the basics to the bit more sophisticated stuff.
    First, you learn the basics, then you work on a real world example. Then you learn another piece, then real work examples, and so on. Last day is a multiple choice test and a final practical exercise that covers most of what you learned the days before.
    The course was actually my very first contact with C4 (i´ve experience in other systems) and it went pretty well.
