My point with the risk is with Loxone you have all your eggs in one basket. With say Crestron you may have different manufacturers for lighting, hvac control, etc. Certainly has advantages and disadvantages.

I like your explanation of how the automation side is different. Is Loxone new to US market? Whats the average project price? Also interesting is I saw a post on C4forum of a Loxone homeowner looking to also install C4 to control a/v, media server, and audio distribution. Is that necessary?

Also, the demo app is working now. Seems very very basic. For instance, in lighting why is there no dimmer features? No preset levels? Example, for media room I have movie, intermission, sports, etc. Also, the music is presented as basically on/off and volume. Thats it? No choices between sources or services. Example I choose between Pandora, Tidal, XM, Media server, apple TV and several others. I personally prefer C4 gui, the Loxone is pretty bad with monochromatic colors and a few green text lines.
