New to this and looking for remote support to help me on a large system with 300 devices happy to pay

Hey. I’m new to this but have just installed a large system into a clients property comprising of 5 Philips Hue hubs and 240 lamps, Sonos system with 12 amps and 4 soundbars, HIK vision intercom and cameras and soon to have somfi blinds and curtains.
I’m looking for some assistant and is there anyone who can remotely help me and willing to pay for remote setup and support

Are you sure HA is going to be the correct system for this sort of setup. HA takes a lot of maintenance to keep up with up dates and changes. If you don’t update it it may keep working for sometime, but if Philips change something it will need sorting.

I am not saying it is not doable if you know how to maintain it and create all the automation’s etc needed to make a client happy. If you need someone to set this up for you it will most likely end in a world of pain.

HA is hobby, not a system you can install and forget.

Hey Mark, I concur with Arh: HA will take some maintenance so you’ll have to calculate that in.

Worth looking into the official Hue and Sonos integration that is coming out (somewhere fall 2026 according to Philips), you will likely be restricted to what you can do though.
Another option is that if the customer works with Apple Home, consider setting things up there.

Everything you mentioned is easy enough to set up in HA, simply install a HA instance, go (option 1) on the homepage to the 3 dots and select ‘add to home Assistent’ - ‘Add device’ or (option 2) into settings - devices - add device and select the integration you want to set up.

Hi,
Would have been happy to offer assistance but not with these devices :see_no_evil_monkey:
Good luck with your setup,

I would be happy to help you out if you still need it.
