Price varies with the number of devices, the wiring method, and the brand tier. A basic starter kit with 5 devices may cost a few hundred dollars installed. A whole-home wired system can reach several thousand once programming, panels, and touch screens are included.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri each support different device brands. Ask which voice platform the installer supports natively and which needs extra hubs. Confirm whether voice control covers blinds, climate, and scenes, not just lights, before signing the proposal.
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.
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.
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.
