Holy smokes! Who the hell is bank rolling Snap these days? Never saw this one coming.

Unfortunately, only received notice from a customer who was sent an email.

Haven't found anything online yet.

Awesome! I was just thinking about this last night with the recent changes in the SONOS/C4 situation. I was thinking if the Autonomics stuff did not cost a butt load more than SONOS (sorry....the new MMS1e at $995 is not really appetizing compared to the Connect....especially since it lacks some popular services like Google and Amazon...not that it would make a difference at least with Amazon's recent changes, but still...it plays high-res though which is the only thumbs down I have for SONOS at the moment), I would love to give it a shot. Now it might actually happen. Like it did with Sunbrite. :)

That's kind of funny, cause last night I was just thinking about snap acquiring brands.

Another blow to one of my favorite reps. This and the Pakedge deal put a major squeeze on these guys.

Now the next question is who from Autonomics is going to stay with the transition.
Snap will have their hands full with tech support. The wait time just doubled.
I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.

I'm now wondering if they would have the ballz to start their own home control product.

They'll probably just buy Control 4 instead.

How long does it take to say 208.67.222.222

Why? Look what Snap has done with Sunbrite in just one year.
