What decides the design

  • List what you want to automate, starting with lights, security and comfort.
  • Decide wired or wireless. Wired is more reliable in new builds.
  • Check Wi-Fi coverage in every room.
  • Plan for power cuts so key devices work without internet.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Mixing too many incompatible apps.
  • Weak Wi-Fi that makes devices drop offline.
  • No manual backup for locks and switches.
  • Weak passwords on the hub and cameras.
