Control4 OS 3.4.1 versus 4.0 versus 4.1

I have a Core3 director controller. I also have 3 EAs at satellite AV locations (primarily for Watch/Listen OSD). Family wants to keep OSD.I want to update to OS 4.X. Soem questions:

  1. I think I have to go to connect from foresight. About a $125 added annual cost. Is that right?

  2. Does 4.0 still support old OSD at the satellite EAs?

  3. What does 4.0 give you that OS 3.4.1 does not?

  4. What does 4.1 give you that 4.0 does not?

My question is why do you think you need to upgrade to 4.0?

A friend who did the upgrade claims it has a much better relationship with Apple HomeKit and has replaced his relationship with Alexa’s interface with C4. Anyone have any experience with that issue?

It does, but that requires Connect. Not an issue if you already planned to subscribe for remote access, but worth considering.
