I am decent at coding, I rolled my own HA on the pi, but I can’t do gui work. I spent a week with HA, gleaning bad information and bit and pieces just trying to get a simple wifi switch to turn on and off with status. While I appreciate the free advice offered here, I have spent too much time on the primrose path, the last straw was when I configured debug mode for the log using a cut and paste from official HA doc and HA went into safe mode. I mean if I can’t turn on debug, then I really not qualified to do anything. So the question, are there SMEs here (subject matter experts) that accept payment for consults ? Thanks
Serious question.
If you’re looking to pay someone to setup your Home Automation and Control system why don’t you consult with a professional system installer?
HASS is a really great DIY system. But it is DIY which also entails a lot of learning, trial and error and breaking things. It’s fun if you’re a tinkerer but not so fun if you’re not.
I need help determining why things in HA don’t work and I don’t like wasting time. I appreciate the help I have received on the forum, but it isn’t enough. Hiring a professional system installer to determine why Rest and Command Line yaml configs don’t work would be a waste of money.
This is contradictory. You want to pay someone to troubleshoot why things aren’t currently working. Yet it’s a waste to pay someone to troubleshoot?
HASS isn’t a one time setup and walk away. The system is constantly evolving and changing and breaking.
It isn’t contradictory. I am looking for someone that knows HA well and wants to make some spare cash. Thanks for your input.

We all have our different priorities. @ob2s wants to use home assistant, but would like more dedicated one on one setup and probably learning from someone. Hopefully someone can oblige.

Now this I completely understand. Paying for learning sessions aka training from someone. Paying someone to do a one time setup or fix a problem and done. That’s going to get very expensive.
Hi There,
I can help with HA setup, not an expert but I have manage to do some things in my setup so maybe will be able to fix your setup too.
As for the money, I leave it up to you. If you are happy, you can buy me a beer, if not this is still ok. I will learn something 
Cheers.

Don’t be so hard on yourself, we all make mistakes.
To whoever accepts this assignment:
Be advised you may need remote-access to the system.
Thanks 123, I got debug rolling, and remote access is a go 
Hi ALL,
The product you created is just asweome. I came from Homee, Homey and Fibaro and I finally feel home 
. So thanks to all the contributors. You are doing a fantastic job!
Hi @pniewiadowski
im looking for a short-term and long-term support for my Home Assistant Installation. It is working but i def. feeling that it is consuming to much of my time and i need a pro. Like you!?
I put together a lil document describing the requirements at the moment.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Marcel
I agree. I was a professional installer for Fibaro and the HomeCenter2 is a complete mess. With Home Assistant, I can do even the craziest automation ideas of the users!
Are you still looking for someone to support you?
