How did you hone your skills for years? Have you been working with other lock providers? Or other methods, or just the process of reverse-engineering the software that hardware interacts with?
I haven't been working on other lock hardware, but reversing the whole Onity system from the ground up has been quite an undertaking. I described a rough version of the whole process in another comment. I've also worked on a couple other devices, e.g. the Emotiv EPOC EEG.
As for Ving, I think they're going to be next up; spent years honing my skills in reversing this sort of thing, seems like a shame to stop now.
