1.  Why should a prospective customer choose a system like Control 4 over a mix of systems say for example...Philips Hue or Caseta lighting, Sonos app, etc.  Is it about consolidating apps or is there more to it?  Tell me.

2.  If your system is using Alexa or Google for voice control, why can't I just cut out your system and let Alexa handle everything...like talking to Philips Hue light bulbs?

Because right now, none of that stuff works together in any kind of cohesive way. If your goal is to use an app or voice control do perform tasks that you used to have to press a button or turn a dial then it is fine but if you want real automation that works together as a system that is a completely different level of complexity.

4.  Why is your WAP better than something a person can buy at BB, for example Eero?

It isn't. Anyone can buy high-end network equipment. It is the knowledge and experience of how to deploy it in a way that will provide a consistent experience and "just work".

The motivated DIY technology-centric consumer probably isn't the right target customer. They may be fine with using 5 different apps and fighting Alexa to get their equipment to work. Then again, even when they are, it doesn't mean the rest of their family is.
