Hi all,

I’m in the very early stages of potentially setting up a business in home automation.

I have experience working with my hands in a similar field however I have a lot to learn about ZigBee, zwave and RF technology as a whole. This is my first port of call but I’ve taken my first steps.

If anyone could direct me toward resources that might be of benifit on my learning journey, I’d really appreciate it.

    Very little call for true home automation now. Too much can be done by the diy folks. We do RTI which is still a closed market. But have had many clients who go the Alexa or Google route due to cost and think that’s automation. Network training is a must in almost anything though. Stay away from things like HAOS though as not a sellable, program and walk away from product. It definitely a diy thing.

      Will that always be the case though?

      As you’ve said, lots of smart devices are currently making their way into the home.

      Will elements of home automation not follow as technology keeps with its consistent advance?
