Frequently asked questions

• What is smart home installation?

  Smart home installation gives people peace of mind that their home automation technology is set up and working as intended. Rather than doing it yourself, expert technicians will come to your house and connect your smart devices to your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth enabled devices and each other.

• How does smart home automation work?

  Smart home automation is when devices inside your home automatically perform tasks during the day based on your specific needs. You can automate lights turning on and off, your TV playing a specific show, the kettle turning on when it’s time for tea, and much more. It works through your home Wi-Fi network, which allows a variety of devices to communicate with each other through the internet. You’ll also be able to control most of your smart home devices from your phone or tablet, so you don’t have to master multiple remotes!

• How much to install a smart home?

  A smart home can cost as much or as little as you like – it just depends on what you want to automate. You can start with a smart speaker, some of which you can pick up for under $100 to see if voice control is something you enjoy. From there, you can start installing more devices, such as lights and plugs to automate of your daily tasks. It might cost around $1,000 to install speakers, lights, plugs in multiple rooms – and up to $5,000 if you want to go all out! The best thing about smart homes is that you can slowly chip away and add a few products at a time rather than all in one go.

• What is the difference between a smart home and home automation?

  A smart home is slightly different to home automation; however they’re closely related. A smart home refers to a house which uses smart device products connected to the internet to help with everyday tasks. However, it hasn’t been set up to run tasks automatically, it just gives you better control over certain functions. Home automation is when you use your smart devices to make certain tasks happen automatically throughout the day – like the heater turning on and off at specific times or ensuring all the lights are off by 11pm.
