Yes I am imagining things.

Weird that I have also dealt with them and deal with them quite often.

Weird that I had to find two Lutron processors on ebay last year so that two families could have lighting in the home where they spend Apartment buying money $$$ for this system.

Weird that I have to buy phones or pcs every couple of years or even 3-4 years let’s say.

Weird that my customer with the home that won the Crestron best integrated home award and spent beyond what someone can imagine for tech a few years back now has to spend more than a nice car to change his 5 year touchscreens and remotes to new ones that can support a proper resolution and swipe actions.

Weird that customers are now educated, can do speedtests and require wirelessly the bandwidth they pay for their internet connection and their 5 year 20k Ruckus system cannot simply not provide.


I can probably add about 50 more of these in our industry or in consumer electronics without thinking much.

You either accept this is the reality of technology as mentioned above, grow two and deal with it.
