All systems have positive and negative attributes. I'm curious why you find C4 so superior. Would you elaborate?
1. Hardware interface. The Loxone Switch is severely limited compared to a touchscreen for most functions. It is also not intuitive. Anyone can use my keypads and touchscreens without an explanation.

2. GUI. C4 and others are WAY ahead here. The Loxone app is awful. Why grayscale? Odd icons, excessive text.

3. Audio distribution. Huge advantage in source selection and browsing.

4. Video distribution. Is that even available in Loxone or is that 3rd party?

5. Dealer support as of now.

6. Native third party integration.
I disagree with your opinion, but that's fine.

May I ask why you picked/prefer C4 over Savant?
Which parts do you disagree with? I changed from Crestron to Control4. Really came down to comfort with installer.

As to Homekit, the only thing that has interested me is the Brilliant devices. I like the look of the switch. Might be fun to mess around with.
