Has anyone (especially dealers/installers) had a conversation with Kaleidescape about including the native ability of having remote power control?
When I have asked my dealer before I have only gotten the "Kscape will inform us when your system is offline for a period of time, they probably wouldn't consider this as it runs counter to that practice." Other dealers give me the "you can afford it" line to which I counter that a $200 DirecTV receiver has the option. . .
I see in other forums elsewhere where installers gripe about the lack of the feature.
I know I could get a APC switched PDU and control it, but having a native fetaure beats this hands down.
I am hoping that this thread generates some noise where those at Kaleidescape go "hey, there is some pull out there for this feature request" and we can market it as a "green" or "eco" play. . .
Cheers
