OK, I was interested in their first iteration. Now, me want for my new HT.

And the Pro product looks appealing for the rest of the house.

Frankly, the hardware on the first generation was great so its nice to see some improvements but the problem is the software and the setup.

I highly recommend you test the software setup before buying.

I'll have to look at reviews. Thx for the heads-up.

It does have potential, and I get excited anytime I see something that can replace a silly-priced Control4 system.

I have the first generation. In concept its wonderful but the setup is very painful and the user interface on the app is pretty weak.

In addition, thinkflood has updated their software with bells and whistle type features like a programming guide but not fixed the basic weaknesses.
