[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 80341, member: 272"] Re: Crestron/AMX Installers From what I see, AMX and Crestron [U]ARE[/U] doing IP control and are still at the top when it comes to custom touchpanel control systems. They are still at the mercy of the equipment they have to control though, so you won't be seeing an end to RS-232 in control systems for a while. (And in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with RS-232 if it's done right and it's still simpler and cheaper for a manufacturer to implement.) Also the programming aspect of a control system won't differ much no matter if it's IP or Serial from a logic and touchpanel standpoint, if anything the need for qualified programmers will increase and so will what they have to know. I find the market for unified control systems is increasing due to the proliferation of ipad type devices and the "it just works" philosophy that's permeated consumer electronics -now people that would never had considered including one in their budget for a new system are now demanding it, and only the top tier AMX or crestron type of companies can deliver. Find me an "IP based serial/IR/GPIO controllers out there for cheap!" that actually works well and I might consider it. Meanwhile I've fought with them enough to defer to the experts. [/QUOTE]
