Residential Smart Home Systems
Smart home technology can significantly improve comfort and convenience - but only when expectations, infrastructure, and lifestyle align.
Renovation vs Retrofit
During renovations or new builds, systems like KNX, Lutron, and Control4 can be implemented properly with planned cabling and DB space. In retrofit scenarios, scope is usually reduced, and wireless or hybrid solutions may be more appropriate.
Designing for Travel and Absence
For homeowners who travel or leave properties unattended, reliability matters more than features. Clear notifications and secure, predictable remote access are essential. Overly clever automation can create problems when you are not there to intervene.
What Often Goes Wrong
- Platforms chosen too late in the project
- Missing neutral wires for smart switches
- Over-automation (making simple tasks complex)
- Insufficient space for control equipment
Keep It Simple
The best smart homes solve real problems, behave predictably, and don't require constant adjustment. Smart home systems should feel natural, not technical.
