Hi guys
I am looking for some advice; I am interested in starting a business specialising in home automation installs but not sure where to start. I've done some research and it seems some of the big brands I should be installing are companies such as Centron, Lutron, Control4 & Savant.
I am a qualified electrician of 3 years so feel the install side should not be too difficult for me in terms of 1st & 2nd fixing, I am also currently working in Australia for the year with a bloke who installs a lot of C-BUS systems so hoping to gain more of an insight there also.
In my opinion the big hurdle for me would be the programming side, setting scenes etc, i am not exactly a dinosaur when it comes to tech as i am 27 but im also not the most tech savvy, I have read however the above companies provide training on this. I return to the UK in May and was thinking of spending a year or 2 working for an AV company before starting on my own.
Would be interested to know if anyone specialises in the same thing or has any advice to offer.
Cheers
