Well, I see why you guys go this all day long.
sentence fragment (the word AT would change this!)
It is quite addicting.
yes it is
I get home and first
thing I want to do is to check what you guys have
to say.
So do I...I have alot to learn from these guys!
However during the day, unlike you guys,
I have been pretty productive.
WRONG. Productivity is relative, and gauged on tasks completed, against those expected, against overall job description. Today, I sold a 15K phone system, built 40K worth of computers for a large dental firm , and re-vamped 45K worth of proposals (which probably 20K will be approved, AND I wrote my monthly column for a professional publication you may or may not have heard of!
Just in the last
few days.
sentence fragment
I have already met with HAI and Crestron.
I am proud of you. If you were planning to meet with these folks anyway, why'd you inquire here?
Both ends of the spectrum.
Not really...sure, Crestron and AMX are the high end...but you can go MUCH lower than HAI, maybe even put some MORE money in your pocket!
I told them the senario
about as vague as I told you guys and they totally
understood. Using the term Home Automation.
No they didn't! They said, "what do you mean?"
I ever asked the guys about these forums and
they told me to stay about from all the "whos
dick is bigger" guys.
completely incoherent sentence fragment, with no meaning except mayber the words, "dick is bigger."
But I just cant stay away,
bummer!
it must be the love :)
again...dillusional
Anyway
whatever...
Here is what I am doing. I will use HAI's standard
package (Omni LT)
available through distribution
in every home built.
that's usually how a house ends up becoming a house!
However,
will give to home owner chances to up grade to
the OmniPro 2
again, through distribtution
and any upgrade features in between.
what is between? a pickle?
If the home owner want top of the line, I will
then bring in Crestron.
you'll "bring in Crestron?" To do what, fix your mistakes?
I have also got approved
to start, so I will be given multiple houses for
test runs and practice.
Hey, Barney the builder, let me practice on your homes please! BULLSHIT!
I have the full support
of both companies.
You're lying.
I mean they are willing to
bend over backwards.
Well, that is indeed the easiest way to get screwed!
I also found and HAI guru
how I met and got along great with (How to win
friends) and he have me almost every bit of his
code that he has written.
sentence fragment, and bullshit!
And trust me he is
one of the guys that help start the company way
back when.
When exactly was HAI, or Crestron, started? If you've met with them, you'll know this exactly, as well as some history! Please share with us nimrods...thanks!
I will give his name at a latter date.
I'm sure we know him, or can figure out who he is...but hey, feel free! Preferably sooner than latter!
I found out that I do have to get security certified
you mean licensed? In Florida...because HAI and Crestron don't REQUIRE certification for anything!
and it is not easy.
hope you pass!
So sorry guys, thats what
I will be spending my nights doing.
yeah, I get my intelligent friends back for some technical discussions?!!!
I will be
back though.
Bummer
Um, thats about it.
Thank God, my fingers are getting sore with all these quotes!
Let me know
what you guys think, which Im sure you will.
I think you're in over your head, and have been for the 3-6 months you've been in this industry. I also think you're about to make a VERY LARGE financial mistake! I would STRONGLY suggest that you set yourself up as an LLC, as you will be limited in your liability that way...ohh, and get ALOT of insurance!
Thanks
you bet
