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.
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.
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.
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.
