I think it's important to clarify something about me in general. That is when I get into something new (in this case home automation) I go way deeper than I need to because it interests me and because in the end I usually want more flexibility than less. In this case I already have iPads running the Core Control App and the Crestron system I'm stepping into already is programmed to make use of the Crestron iOS app extensively (no Crestron touchpanels were used in the original installation). I have chosen to add a few dedicated in-wall Crestron panels (never run out of juice, never get lost, generally snappier response, etc). As such, I decided that I wanted to be able to control Sooloos from the Crestron panels, especially when I was using it for whole house or multi-zone audio playback. It's a conscious choice and yes, I know it will incur additional programming costs.
