True but wasn’t really thinking of it that way when I said $100 dollars, since I usually have way more I/O than I need. It is the physical operators, the running wire, the mounting, the inventory etc.
Same I sell access control and my comment was really more additional context for the normies. Recently I’ve been thinking about what the barrier of entry for Bacnet native access control hardware would be, and I can’t come up with good reasons that jci or kaba hardware is priced at the level it’s at except to consider it’s proprietary software interface.
Manufacturers don’t want to supply complete interoperable devices, because then they couldn’t sell software
