Daniel is obviously free to do as he wishes, but having seen the mess in the integration area at AVS, I don't think that a Crestron (or AMX for that matter) would grow into anything of value.

I think it will be EXACTLY like the AVS area, with well-intentioned DIYs trying to re-create award-winning control solutions from the mountains of readily available components on eBay parts from homes, universities and corporate facilities that are making changes.

Some guy will buy some crap off eBay and wonder why nobody will help him with the software, then it will be another rich_guy scenario where there is a lot of name calling and the whole area will devolve into an area nobody wants to visit....

RC and IP have had a synergistic relationship since IPs beginning (which began right here in Daniel's CI Lounge).

Everyone at IP recognizes RC's remote file areas and discussions to be the best on the web (which is why we never built any of our own) and there is no question that the DIY community are heavily responsible for the quality of the areas, but the files and in-depth discussions of pro-only products are probably best kept at the verified integrator site.
