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.
A single-room setup with smart lights, a lock, and a thermostat usually takes 4 to 6 hours. A full three-bedroom retrofit often takes 2 to 4 working days, including programming. Add one extra day if the router and network cabinet need reorganizing or replacing.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Devices that fall offline often point to weak Wi-Fi or a crowded hub. Lights that flicker when dimmed usually mean incompatible bulbs or wrong dimmer modules. Locks that fail to respond often need fresh batteries or a firmware update pushed by the installer.
