IMG_0743.jpegIt's not often you get to experience any other system than your own, but I've stayed for a week in a ski chalet that had a load of complex tech thrown at it some years back.  It made me apprreciate that there are a lot of things about Loxone and my own install that were good decisions. 

For a start we had these light switches in our bedroom - either side of the bed, by the door and for the ensuite. Hopeless - too many moods, too many identical buttons, tiny writing, off switch in a different place on each switch (nor in a logical place easy to find by touch).   I'd not learnt the location after a week.  

There were wall mounted iPads all over the place in the main living areas.  The only ones that got used were for Spotify audio.  I'm not exactly sure what the set up was - there were some Sonos speakers around (I connected to the one in the bedroom and some others showed up that I don't think I heard playing) but in the main living area  (where a Sonos device showed on the interface, but I didn't locate the speaker) and in the pool  they were using  UE  bluetooth speakers and an iPad on the wall

However, what I don't get is they seemed to have the ability to do some multiroom stuff with them - possibly the same Spotify account playing on two iPads each connected to a bluetooth speaker?  but also at the same time possibly to a Sonos speaker?  I didn't think that was possible.
