Makes all the difference. Airplay works amazing with a solid WIFI infrastructure. You can roam throughout the house etc.

Subject: [Crestron] Re: Revisiting IDOCs and lightning



I'm wondering how many of the AirPlay problems I see (random disconnect, disconnect while roaming, AirPlay 'sink' not appearing in the list) are related to the small-biz class and lower network hardware most of our jobs are using...and if so, can I convince somebody to listen to me and sell/buy a better solution (probably not).

Was hopeful for the Unifi/EdgeMax stuff because it's at a comparable price-point to what customers seem to expect/be willing to stomach around here.

I must say that Airplay is great, but it doesn't always work. It will stop working for no apparent reason like weddellkw described.

At first it seemed to me like the Airplay was the "once for all" solution... now, not so much. Also, if people use their iPhones as a music source and start walking around the house, things might get disconnected (I would be fine with it, but customers would not...)

Does any of you guys have extensively rolled out airplay solutions and never got a call?

Not to hijack the thread, but is anyone using AirPlay extensively? I have a few customers who use it via AppleTV, and chose to forego dedicated docks, but sometimes AirPlay devices don't show up as available, necessitating a WiFi on/off cycle (on the iPhone/etc)...or a phone call to me.

Crestron at one time mentioned (in-wall) docks for the iPad mini, but I haven't seen anything regarding Lightning or new form-factor's in a while.

*Crazy wish list Idea*
With Simpl# / SimplPro coming online in the future, is there any possibility of utilizing the stereo-outs on the MC3 for things like a Pandora client, AirPlay client, etc?

It's been several months since the lightning iThingies have come out. I know there are various adapters available. Does anyone have any good/bad experience to share regarding IDOCs (wall mount) and adapters? I have several in the queue and need to decide how to proceed.

My limited experience: I stuck a client's iPhone 5 on the small non-cable lightning adapter, and managed to make it "fit" in the IDOC, but it was bent and sticking out. Not a great "look" not to mention the stress that may have been put on the various connections.

Thanks, Heath
