Control4 controller differences

Control4 has two "entry-level" controllers that are priced within the realm of someone looking for a universal remote that does WAY more than most remotes.

While they can both function as a stand-alone controller, the differences that really matter are outlined below.

HC200: Must be used with a display- the included remote does not have a OLED screen that tells you what room you are in... Also limited to controlling 4 devices (4 IR outputs) and no contacts/relays for expansion. This would be ideal for someone who is just looking to control a stack of equipment-but probably not expand it later on. $500

HC300: Comes with a nicer remote, 6 IR outputs, 1 contact and relay- If you want the basic home automation package, I would start with this controller. $700

I'll update the HC500 and HC1000 in the next blog...

This is just in response to some recent questions-
