Yes, after I wrap up these projects that were originally done in SB I will be contracting out for SIMPL programming while I work on my skills. I took essentials and didn't have any issues, but need to do more systems to really get it under grasp. I'm planning to redo my entire home system in SIMPL for practice. 

IN the mean time, I'm compromising on features that I wanted to add, however they compromise isn't huge and overall the end user still gets a good system. I will try to post a video or something of it once i'm done. 

I'm mainly doing all my work in the VTPro VTT template file so that SB autogenerates the panels and programming 90% of how I want it to be.
