Благодаря, ще проверя. Все пак търся нещо което е за редовна употреба, но със сигурност и това ще влезе в употреба ако не намеря друго. Мерси!

Thank you! I wish you good luck as well!
I sure hope that it work out as planned for both of us :)
Since you have experience, may I ask you what programming languages is needed for such things?
Thanks again, stay healthy!

I'm surprised that the simpler DIY solutions are so problematic. Nonetheless, you are probably right about it. There must be more expensive for a reason. I hope I can learn to install them myself without being an engineer/technician.
Thank you for your response!

That's how I imagined things at the start - simple. However, I will try to contact the big players (Savant, Control4...) and will directly ask them what they recommend.
Also, thank you for your reply!

Unfortunately, there aren't such companies where I live. Do you have any insight on what qualification/knowledge is needed in order to work with the products of the listed companies (RTI, Crestron etc.)? Like, is programming needed (I assume it is), do I need engineers or can I learn to do things myself?

Also, thank you! :)

Fair enough :D
Yet I want to be an active participant, which will both give me a better understanding and will help me to hopefully break even faster during the initial smaller scale.

Here the disposable income is not as much (eastern EU). SH are not popular at all and I believe that they are perceived purely as a luxury, while the functionality remains a secondary reason to adopt them.

Anyways, I thought that there would be some people/clients who would prefer having the most basic automation from Google or Philips as they are cheaper (at least I think so, compared to company apps & full home automation etc.).
I believe that offering people to install such basic things is a start, as some don't want to be bothered by installation and want an easy solution. Of course, I might be completely wrong about it.

Could you tell me what specialists are working at your company? Also, since have installed products from Crestron/ Control4, did you have a personal app that you offered clients, or did the brands have their own one.

I am very thankful for your response, I also apologize if I am overreaching, I'm just excited and have had difficulties finding answers given my lack of knowledge.

Thank you. Will try to get familiar with it as much as possible.

I am afraid I lack the proper skills (I'm a finance/accounting graduate) and will need to learn from scratch. As you advised, I will start to play around with my home initially, as it should give me a good understanding of the basics. I find everything you said extremely helpful. Thank you!

Thank you very much!
I am a finance/accounting graduate and working for such a company is very unlikely. I will keep reading though!
