Dear Experts,

I would like to seek your advice on how I should approach my system upgrade and expansion plan. Below are my questions and would appreciate your views and suggestions :-
1) I am currently using Comfort 2 and keypad programming. Shall I invest in UCM Eth03, if I were to upgrade and integrate my system with Raspberry Pi, Home Assistant and Google Assistant?

2) One of my reasons of expanding my system to include Raspberry Pi is to allow the control of system devices ( non smart ) using voice commands via Google Assistant. Is this statement correct and justifiable? That also means voice control using Comfort is not possible?

3) The other reason of including Raspberry Pi is to include and allow Home Assistant functions as an overall server for system integration. Is this statement correct?

4) Is increasing the system Input and Output points is a good reason to include Raspberry Pi? Currently I have 24 inputs and only 8 outputs. There seems to limit me in adding additional field sensors. I am aware that I can do that by adding on Comfort LEM or SEM modules.

5) what is the main reason for Adding Raspberry Pi instead of Comfort LEM or SEM modules? Is it because Raspberry is a open source controller and it presents more flexibility in term of control customisation ?

Regards
