Composer HE - getting started

[JJ7]

Can anyone recommend some resources to help get started with Composer HE? My day job involves a significant amount of programming (C) but that doesn't directly translate when using this proprietary app to program my system. So trying to get a handle on what's possible, then how best to implement things. I'm mainly using C4 for my theater room, some lighting, plus a couple of other rooms with fewer A/V devices (compared to the theater room). Longer term I'd like to add some whole house automation stuff, but I'm not there yet.

And then I'll also just mention one specific item I'd like to change. When selecting lighting for a room on the Neeo remote, it always first takes me to a screen to modify each particular light. I have to dig into another menu to get to lighting scenes, which is what I always want. Is there any way to invert this, get the scenes first, with a sub menu to get to each individual light?

Currently, there is no way to change that Neeo on selecting Lighting goes to the lights first, then to scenes.

You can, however, create a room favorite for scenes (from a different UI, like your Android Phone or iPhone or a T3 touchpanel), and then when you click that, you'll go directly to Lighting Scenes.  To do that, go to the Lighting page on your T3/Android/iOS device, and press and hold the 'Scenes' tab at the top of the screen.  This will create a room favorite for Scenes.  If it's not on the first page of Neeo favorites, you can press and hold the favorites on your main screen, and arrange their order (or delete them).

Putting it first, would look like this:

Thanks, I appreciate the tip on lighting scenes very much.

Beyond that, does anyone have suggestions on resources (docs, posts, blogs, videos, etc) for getting started with Composer HE? My main interest is for home theater use.

Thanks
