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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Home automation covers lighting, climate, blinds, door locks, garage doors, security cameras, and entertainment systems. A professional installer can link these devices to one control interface. Many homes also add water leak sensors, smoke detectors, and smart thermostats. Discuss each area you want to control before any equipment is purchased.
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.
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.
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.
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.
