I'm a avid user of AMX gear. Furthermore, as you're probably aware, I wrote an AMX module for NetLinx (in partnership with Fred, who did all the CLI work). If you weren't aware of it, here's a screen shot:
http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=62827 The module is released in binary form, but you're free to download sources from SourceForge. I welcome patches so everyone can benefit. I've had very good experience with AMX gear, and have been using it since 1999 with complete, 100% success. That said, although I know little about Crestron, my understanding is that, other than different programming philosophies, the two systems are quite good and quite capable. AMX uses more of a programming language, Crestron uses more of a GUI arrangement, making it harder to do stuff that the Crestron folks didn't consider upfront. If you're having lots of problems making Crestron work "quite right", it might be more your skill level (and understanding of the platform) rather than the platform itself. Or perhaps issues with the lighting system working consistently or something. Again, this is based solely of what I've been told of the Crestron platform from folks that understand both AMX and Crestron quite well. I've never had any problems making the AMX NetLinx system work perfectly using a wide range of different hardware. As I add something in my household (like the Squeezebox), the AMX NetLinx system accommodates the changes just fine. So, if you're looking for recommendations, the AMX NetLinx system is a very good and capable automation system. -- Jeff -- Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20703 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
