| here's the dealio: anyone who has a problem with
Control4 is probably not going to last the next
few years in the custom install business. wireless
IP systems WILL replace IR & RF -
some here will read this, dismiss it, and continue
blasting IR into the ether. which is good, because
when your customers want real control over thier
systems, they'll come to me when you're out of
business. that because I've hung up Crestron
for C4, because it's a better product, and you
have to move ahead.
Most Crestron/AMX systems use IR only for the cable boxes (or other devices lacking any other method of control) and then only as a last resort. I am assuming by your post that C4 has a new way to control a cable box (or other IR only device) other than IR??? What is the part number for this new interface device?
What about 232/485? Does C4 have a new way to make a two-way control port appear on a device that doesn't have one? That would be cool, and a feature I would use a lot......
I am also curious what additional level of control C4 offers that cannot be done with a properly programmed Crestron/AMX system? Can it read your mind? Because thus far, that has been the only thing we haven't been able to do with these control systems.
