Cost depends on the number of devices, brand tier, and how much wall work is needed. Retrofits in finished walls cost more than installations done during renovation. Licensed labor rates vary by region and certification. Request a line-item quote covering hardware, labor, programming, and any post-install support.
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.
Request a full device list with model numbers, a network diagram showing router and switch locations, and a written schedule of scenes. Keep the installer contact, warranty papers, and reset procedures in one folder. Good documentation saves hours during any future repair or expansion.
Most modern hubs support Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri through Matter or native bridges. Some ecosystems still require skill linking or extra configuration steps. Ask which voice platforms are tested before purchase. Compatibility lists change often, so confirm the current generation, not the launch model.
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.
A simple setup with 8 to 12 smart switches and one hub usually takes 4 to 6 hours. Adding motorized blinds, multi-room audio, or full security integration can stretch the work to 2 or 3 days. Time grows when firmware updates, device pairing, and custom automations are configured.
Wired systems like KNX or Lutron use dedicated low-voltage cables inside the walls. Wireless systems use Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Wi-Fi radios. Wired is more reliable but costs more during construction. Wireless is faster to install but can suffer from signal drops in thick walls or large homes.
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.
Frequent disconnections usually mean weak Wi-Fi or interference from microwaves and Bluetooth. Devices that fall off the network after power cuts often need a managed reboot sequence. Slow response times can point to an overloaded hub or outdated firmware. Document any repeated failure with date, time, and device name.
Ask how many similar projects the installer finished in the last 12 months. Request a written list of compatible devices. Confirm who programs the scenes and schedules. Ask about warranty length on both labour and hardware, and whether remote support is included after handover.
