Re: Control4 shipping Zigbee

[C Hisch <ihaveemail2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The sales rep for Control4 was in Toronto last week, I unfortunately
did not get the time to meet and see the products but I know that it
is targeted to the average consumer not the high end.
I don't have the exact pricing so don't hold me to this  but I was
told that a dimmer is around the $100 mark.
LCD control pannel $700
( Pricing is from word of mouth..not sure )

I will try get more details from a friend that did meet with him. The
developers used to work for Crestron..

Hopefully Zigbee has finally reached the automation market
