The manual should start with ECS LITE. If ECS LITE is not easy to implement
and get working well right away then you wont get new consumer level
purchasers. ECS (in my very humble opinion as a non ecs user ) needs to get
basic functionality at the consumer level. I listen to this list but still
dont convert from homevision because it sounds too complex for a non
technical person.
I really wish mark well because it sounds great and he sounds very nice but
keep in mind that most new potential buyers are not technical people and
they want plug and play.
