Hoping you guys can help me out. Sold a few Triad SA1's for a job and it's the first time we're using them. We can't figure out how to get eArc activated. We called control4 on Friday and after two levels of "tech support" they had no idea either and told us just to use fiber. That's all fine and dandy since we have a control4 system but we'd rather use eArc.

For their pool area we have a large sunbrite with an eArc extender kit connecting into the SA1 for a landscape audio system. We'd rather the client not have to manually switch between tv and music although it's not the end of the world. With eArc it should just automatically switch on with the tv when they turn it on which is the function we're going for.

Snaps website says eArc is activated with Ryff and full disclosure we didn't set that up (client wasn't home at the time and then came home very late as we needed to leave) so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I'm hoping someone else has sold and programmed these because it seems like Contol4's own tech support hasn't 🙃 anyone else notice how they started to outsource their customer/tech support

Thanks in advance!

Alright here's my theory. It's been fun reading up on everyone else's.

Jade and Tabitha are the evil ones. Everyone else exists to stop them. They sacrificed their child, as well as the rest of the towns, to gain immunity. The entire town is cursed to live there until they can finally stop the cycle of Jade and Tabitha killing a child.

One thing that always bothered me was the idea that the entire town sacrificed multiple children to gain immunity. A few people, a kid or two? Maybe. The entire town?! It's incredibly hard to believe an entire town would be ok with that. I always thought there was more to it. One psychotic couple at the expense of everyone else? More believable. It also doesn't make sense they're from multiple generations.

I think the monsters are memories of people from the child felt safe around killed that cycle. They live in the caves trying to protect the children. They come out at night because what are kids afraid of? The dark and monsters (the townsfolk) . It's full of smiling happy monsters, grandmas, teachers, a friendly cowboy. These are safe people to children. The children are controlling the monsters and the world. Also makes sense why there seems to be different monsters from different generations.

Same with why "nightmares" come to life. To children they are alive.

What if it wasn't 8 children killed in the initial ritual (I think it's 8 children but I won't pretend to remember the exact number feel free to correct me lol) killed. But 1 child every cycle. For 8 cycles. And at the end of every cycle, Jace and Tabitha end up killing a child because they think it's the way to end it.

We know Jade is killed in every iteration. We learn that it seems like the residents turn on him and end up killing him every cycle, not the monsters. We're lead to believe it's because the evil entity manipulates people. What if that isn't the case? What if they learn the truth. That the reason it all exists is because of the selfish and evil act they did generations ago and continue to repeat.

Tabitha keeps "remembering" things but remaining absolutely useless. I know I want her to be killed off so I get it. I have no theories aside from that. She annoys me. I think she is a witch of some sort who creates the curse, makes monsters. Dolls are probably voodoo dolls.

It also make sense to me that the man in yellow is on the children's side and trying to stop it. He's everywhere. Killing people. Poisoning people. Transforming into people. Manipulating everyone. He never touches Jade or Tabitha (that I remember at least).

The boy on white is as useless as Tabitha. Man in yellow is playing 10 chess moves at a time. Boy in white is like "there's some peaches in a truck. Be back in 20 years". Cool thanks dude.

I think the point of the game or the curse is that he needs to let Tabitha and Jade make the mistake on their own accord. He can't give them any direction or answers otherwise the game is skewed.

Other theories I have that have probably been mentioned

- Fatima is actually her golem.
- when Boyd asked Abby to help him and her hand grabbed him and tried to pull him into the ground. Then he keeps seeing his ring. Maybe her grabbing him and pulling him into the grass was actually trying to help. Everything is underground in the caves. Maybe she was trying to pull him in and show him something.
- all of the characters are reincarnated. Every one. No one there is a coincidence or new player.
- the obvious one I hope does not end up happening is that they're all in a coma or something fighting to be awoken. If they get killed in fromville they get killed in real life. The monsters rip out their insides but leave the rest of the body and specifically the faces in tact. This is what happens when people die and they go to a funeral home. A little morbid but I'm cursed with knowledge. It would be pretty easy to understand why a lot of the characters would be in a coma or near death (Boyd/Abby/Ellis - boating accident, Khatri - alcoholic, Marielle - drug addict). I'm not saying it's obvious for everyone but it would be easy to connect for a lot.

Would love to hear people's thoughts. After last season there were so many theories I loved reading so hoping to keep the discussion going.

We had someone reach out to us saying they're looking for capable integrators in our area (Tampa). The company is The AV Group. They're based out of South Florida and looking to partner together on projects. Looks like they do commercial and government which we do as well so I'm assuming they'll want to sub to us.

Has anyone heard of them or better yet worked with them? We've never subbed for anyone and always done our own work so any insight would be appreciated.
