Plan a firmware check every 3 months and replace coin-cell batteries every 12 to 18 months. New devices should match existing protocols like Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Matter. Ask the installer for a written upgrade roadmap covering the next 5 years. Keep spare hubs or remote controllers in case of hardware failure.
Most smart devices need a stable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal at their location. A mesh system with at least 2 nodes covers most homes up to 150 m². Larger properties or thick concrete walls may need additional access points or wired backhaul. Test signal strength before any devices are mounted or wired.
Some devices connect directly to your router, while others need a dedicated hub. Hubs like Zigbee or Z-Wave coordinators keep communication local, even if the internet goes down. Cloud-only devices may stop working during provider outages. Choose hardware that supports local control for reliability and latency.
Plan a check-up every 12 months to update firmware, test battery devices, and review automations. Spare batteries for sensors and locks should be kept in a labelled drawer. Ask whether new devices can be added later without replacing the existing hub or rewiring the walls.
Smart homes need steady Wi-Fi. Ask whether your current router can handle the added traffic. Many installers recommend a mesh system with 2 to 3 nodes for homes over 100 square metres. The network cabinet should stay ventilated, labelled, and accessible without tools.
The hub is the brain that talks to every device. Common choices include Home Assistant, Hubitat, and Apple Home, each with different compatibility lists. Ask which devices the hub supports today, not in a future update, and check how many devices it can handle before slowing down.
Cloud cameras stream footage to external servers unless a local NVR is installed. Check whether the provider offers end-to-end encryption and two-factor login. Local control hubs keep automations running even without internet. Read the privacy policy for each brand before sharing access with household members or guests.
Ask how many similar projects the installer has finished in the last 12 months. Request references, proof of insurance, and the warranty length on labor. Confirm who handles device registration, cloud accounts, and firmware updates. Clarify whether remote troubleshooting is included or billed separately after the job ends.
Wireless devices run on batteries or plug-in adapters and need no wall work. Wired systems use low-voltage cables, such as Cat6 or KNX bus wire, run inside walls. Older homes may need extra conduits or new junction boxes. Ask whether your walls can accept additional cabling without major drywall repair.
Choose systems that keep automations running locally when the internet drops. Ask where the data is stored, on the device, on a local server, or in the cloud. Cameras and locks should use encrypted feeds and two-factor login. Get the default passwords changed on day one.
