This is ridiculous. I mean cmon Control4, a decade later and dealers are still having to come up with home brew solutions to arguably the coolest c4 features to date. Deep apple and android integration is a must. I shouldn’t have to set up an unRAID device or pi just to get widgets and CarPlay control over my devices. An absolute joke. Great work techs/dealers, but let’s be honest. Setting up devices like these are burdensome, potentially open customers up to hacking, and become a lifecycle/maintenance nightmare for the next technician that services the home and knows nothing about unRAID or pi devices. By cutting corners to make the systems more usable for clients is letting C4 get off easy. A built in widget should be standard in the app download and homebridge integration is simple enough for WeMo to pull off, but seems ‘beneath’ Control4 to invest any time or money into it. Crestron appears to be the clear winner decades later. Shame.
