D-Day Arrives; Control4 Integrators Begin Turning Clients over to Snap One

April 24, 2024 by Ted Leave a Comment

On Tuesday this week, a previously announced program being offered by Snap One – now Resideo – has begun. This program, called Control4 Connect, is a mandatory program that requires all integrators to connect all new client installations of Control4 products directly to Snap One’s central station for future software updates and data collection.

It is a new kind of transactional connection that establishes a direct relationship with the client for direct-to-user system updates and base-level client support supplied – not by the local integrator – but by Control4 support.

After a Hopeful February, March Housing Starts Drop Double-Digit Percentage

April 18, 2024 by Ted Leave a Comment

This is a new home; housing starts declined in March

Residential construction, known as housing starts, dropped in March by a surprising double-digit percentage. Most industry analysts believe that the slowdown is due to stubborn inflation readings motivating the Fed to keep interest rates high which is affecting mortgage rates and home affordability.

After solid gains in February raised hopes in the segment, the March numbers were a chilling splash of reality as home inventory is low and mortgage rates are high.

Header for Apple Inc., v. International Trade Commission ITC & Masimo

A Heavyweight Case; 916 Pages Heavy, That Is

Last Friday, Apple, Inc. filed a massive appeal with the U.S. Appeals Court for the Federal Circuit asking the judges to overturn the ruling of the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) which sided with Masimo and ordered a ban on sales of certain models of the Apple Watch.
