No, it's a good thing to know the options if somebody
would tell him.
In Pambs case, the Pronto would work just fine and so
would Crestron.
Everybody here knows that Crestron can do a lot of things
others can't, but the question here are if Pambs needs
a Crestron setup for his gear, I don't think so. If he
had bigger plans I suppose he would have told us.
I would go for the Pronto and used the saved money on
some other fun stuff.
Why is the quote for 8x more than a Pronto then? I am a Crestron dealer and I know their pricing structure.
A TMPC-4x and a CP2E are not even close to 8x that price. Are we including more control in that price structure. A dedicated WAP and some prgramming and we are around double the price.
But with the Pronto where do we go from here at half the price. Say that price included some touchpanels stategically located throughout the house. Here we have full 2 way feedback for alarm, pool control, HVAC, audio servers, and I-Pods to name a few items. Now we are coming up with a solution nearing the 8x the price.
We have not nearly received enough information to discount Crestron from the above equation IMHO.
Why is everybody so afraid of Crestron when they have no idea what their solutions cost.
And what is up with arthur?? Do you feel better now??
