I know that Control4 and Crestron are arguably the top in the industry. And from the feature list, I see it can do a lot. But does anyone have any images of a video walkthrough showing the end user UI side? I want to see how one goes from one thing to the other and see how their UI looks.  ...

I have an elk m1 gold that while it is found on the network times out when I try connecting to it. I tried rebooting but it didnt help. I have a wireless zone that I want to bypass (I really want to remove but cant access the programming). When I do bypass 26 bypass it errors out. None wireless...

Is there a relay board with multiple (more then 4) dry relays that get triggered by one input? I know I can have multiple relays all from the same source but I am trying to keep things neat. So would want it one input terminal. Thank you
