Core to the establishment of the Open Home Foundation was the well-being of the people building the future of the smart home. We will provide all the benefits required by the country you reside in.

• An annual smart home budget to ensure you keep up-to-date with the latest that smart homes offer.

• A 50% contribution to your internet connection fee at your home workspace.

• One day every two weeks to work on your personal projects.

• If you are currently working on Home Assistant-related side projects, you can spend work time maintaining them.

When first offering a position to a new member, the Open Home Foundation aims to provide a total compensation package that matches the 75th percentile for the new hire's role, seniority, and local market rates. For a Senior Technical Writer in our primary operating countries, the approximate yearly compensation will be the following:

• Spain: 62.000 EUR

• Portugal: 61.000 EUR

• Other countries: Compensation can be discussed during the first interview.

These figures may be adjusted based on experience, qualifications, and work hours.
