I would bet the large buy in an large annual numbers are out-the-window.

We have a pool on how long before you dump TTC for Snap4. Brendon has next week. I’d appreciate if you would hold off until after the 15th.

That will hurt URC more than snap

I doubt that very much. SnapAV was just one source for URC out of thousands of sources.

NEVER going to happen. EVER. I'm Total Control until retirement. Even if C4 offered to replace 30+ URC pieces I have in my system lol. I've ALWAYS been a one control brand company and that's not going to change. WAY to invested in TC. Is what it is. ZERO desire to take on a new brand, new training, new agreements, etc. I would then still be supporting the previous brand if we did switch. Makes no sense, no sense at all to ever look at changing. Would be a bad biz decision for me particularly so close to retirement. I'm happy with TC. Does what we need (for now, however I suspect a massive influx of cash into C4 which could make it THE go to brand. Again, before that happens or if it happens, I will likely only be playing with my cows at that point anyway lol).

I wish Snap and C4 success. As I do URC. What I hope doesn't happen is Snap stop support for drivers and integration with competing control systems. That would only piss off dealers and cost Snap biz from its other lines. Would not be a wise choice to sacrifice sales of other product lines Snap has to justify the cost of C4. Snap is smarter than that.

I think so. I just got the email this morning telling me, though not in so many words, that I can no longer serve a client RIGHT NOW if they need a URC remote.
Telling me that if I find out on a Friday that a customer wants to pay extra for something to be done over the weekend, it's out of the question because I won't be able to drive to a place and buy the URC remote.

The Southern California company that was SNAPPED up by SNAP won't be carrying URC. I am already direct, so, great, but there is now no possibility within the Los Angeles area of just going and buying it.

Maybe URC will start selling through ADI.

Of course, if URC partners with Amazon, then we could basically get stock in 47 minutes!
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Ummm, URC has been selling ADI for 10+ years, and AVAD, and now KOA if you want to pick something up.

Where have you been? Or is your "ADI" different from the ADI for the rest of us?

I think ADI was selling URC before Avad was even Marketpro near Van Nuys Airport.
