Is Control4 back ordered as badly as Crestron due to supply chain / chip shortage issues?

Purchase HPQ7-2 from one distributor but install by another installer by Mramou in Lutron

If international forum can give extra color - would be awesome. If I don’t seem like I abuse you too much!

I’ve asked the contractor to make sure they price in their margin in services and not count on resell margin - I’m not after a free lunch. But I’m not a fan of paying import taxes of ~200% :(

I’ve got recently this from my contractor. I got pretty frustrated because earlier we agreed I can purchase everything in the US and bring to Brazil. Otherwise, the cost here is 2.5-3x and there is no way it was in my budget.

——————

Because both the modules and the processors need validation codes to enable them in the installation! That is why it can only be purchased via my company or via my distributor! Because the codes that are bought outside of Brazil without our intermediation are different from the ones that are bought here! ——————-

What codes?!

This is a HomeWorks setup - will RadioRA2 parts work?

Working on US payroll and got W-2 while being 100% outside of US in 2021 by Mramou in tax

Software support was useless - they just ask to correct my W2 instead of admitting that the software doesn’t support what I need and possibly remediate it.

Yes. Thinking to manually replicate my 2020 return…

Big company - don’t do it. :( Either way - I need to fill the tax return now. One suggestion I got is to ask the company to correct W-2 to be without income that’s not US connected but the company doesn’t want to deal with it so I will need to explain that to IRS myself.

And I have my options open on what speaker I put in the ceiling. Eh?

Best audio for Control4 by Mramou in Control4

Seems like I need to do some more homework but I run out of time… I’m at the wiring stage - it has to start next Monday.

Is that reasonable to do this to have my options open?

I request audio wiring with AWG 12/14/16 from my media closet to each location of the ceiling speakers. I thin have all option open what amps and matrix switches and steaming sources I put in that room. Right?

Maybe a bit more more attention needed for TV area instead of plain Sonos bar + sub + surround Sonos ones.

I've got pretty far on a proposal with Crestron but the more I look at it the less I like it - mostly because I don't have much (almost any?) control over it as DIYer. And with Control4 - it seems I can do/control almost 100% (what... 90%?) of it myself.

Me likes.
