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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
