Awesome, thank you for trying it and sharing your experience with the group ¡ª I really like Python. I also really like Crestron gear.? Both do something specific really well and I¡¯ve gotten lots of value using both together.? Python isn¡¯t my first or ¡°native¡± programming language but it is noteworthy for how massively productive you can be with it, for so little effort learning it.? Its community prioritizes simplicity and they¡¯ve excelled at delivering it.? Paid ChatGPT can crank out quality Python examples that can be pasted from, speeding development.? Crestron¡¯s hardware and their paradigm with reducing high quality hardware to SIMPL integration has advantages that shine the most when you stick to its simplicity that I feel is chipped away from, when we seek to have a Crestron processor do everything including the kitchen sink.? If you flew on an airplane and found out that the same CPU runs your seat back gaming experience as well as the cockpit instruments, you¡¯d be appalled for the lack of separation.? I feel the same way about anything that adds to the latency of a home¡¯s responsiveness (as well as a bootup time I already think is too much) for critical functionality like lighting.? If you¡¯ve driven a Tesla you might feel their infotainment system has timing glitches¡ it¡¯s for being a single computer that does too much.? Since a single industrial-mount Raspberry Pi can be the on-premise MQTT server, and since it¡¯s not too hard set to run full-time Python scripts on boot (either on the same pi or another), I view it as a sweet spot.? Raspberries are up in under 30 seconds.? But more power to anyone who sees the value in having it all in a single appliance and wants to take a moment to whip out S# and implement this there.?
