Not super familiar with CommandAlkon/Construction space so would love to hear more on that end.
To address hardware deeply integrated with proprietary systems - our current mode of dealing with this is building out the middleware to allow these systems to integrate with Synnax - or a protocol that can be used to communicate with these devices. But we also try to make it a developer-friendly tool so that if people already familiar with these systems want a quick way to connect Synnax to their existing systems - they can do so using our Python, Typescript, or C++ libraries.
Our goal would be to substitute these cobbled-together systems for a more uniform and airtight system. We hope to do that by starting with sub-scale preliminary integrations on already-in-development setups/expansions that can be a base for expanding out to the rest of the system.
