Shifting from IT to Automation

Most of my professional life has been spent working with corporate information systems – databases, integrations, and Microsoft 365.

Over the past three years, however, I’ve been gradually returning to my roots – focusing on electrical engineering, building automation, FVE integration, and data collection and visualization using SCADA, InfluxDB, or Grafana.

And now I’ve made the final decision:
My laptop bag now includes tools, and my lab is filling up with Loxone, myTEM, EasyE4, Raspberry Pi, and other toys — automation and electrical engineering have officially become my main focus.

My existing corporate IT projects are gradually wrapping up, but I’m no longer actively seeking new ones. Traditional IT has started to lose its appeal for me. More and more often, I find myself thinking of the old saying:
“IT helps us solve problems we wouldn’t have without it.”

As a colleague told me years ago:
Back then, we delivered solutions that made sense and simplified the client’s work. Today, it’s often just something to justify an invoice.


Why automation?

Because it’s straightforward.
📊 Measured values → ⚙️ actions based on defined behavior.

Savings are measurable, and results are visible. Automation helps to:

  • reduce energy consumption
  • increase safety
  • simplify daily operations
  • increase comfort without complexity

It also gives me space to apply my knowledge of databases and system integration.

And on top of that – when designed properly, it works reliably and transparently. No magic, no cloud dependency, no need for IT support.


What I offer

  • Consulting for smart home planning – to ensure the technology makes sense right from the design phase
  • Design and implementation of smart building control – using Loxone, myTEM, EasyE4, and more
  • Smart photovoltaic (PV) management – including load prioritization, thermal storage (TUV), and optimization
  • Energy consumption measurement and analysis – the foundation for savings or PV system expansion
  • Data collection and visualization – using MQTT, InfluxDB, Grafana, Modbus, SCADA

If you're planning a new build, renovation, or considering a smart solution that actually makes sense – feel free to get in touch. I’ll be happy to help you design and implement a system that not only works, but also saves money.
