Smart Home Common Mistakes
Smart home systems fail most often due to planning issues, not device capability. Learn how to avoid the most frequent pitfalls.
Why Systems Fail
Identifying the root causes of smart home frustration.
Platform Chosen Too Late
Choosing the platform after construction leads to missing cabling, incompatible circuits, and expensive rework.
No Neutral Wires
Failing to run neutral wires to switch backboxes severely limits your hardware options and forces unreliable workarounds.
Over-Automation
Creating complex logic that no one uses increases the support burden and makes the home harder to live in.
Underestimating Space
DB and cabinet space, along with proper ventilation, must be planned for modules and controllers from day one.
Voice Control Obsession
Voice should be an optional convenience, not the foundational method of control. Physical reliability comes first.
Our Philosophy
Smart homes should solve real problems, not create new ones.
The most successful smart homes are those that stay simple, reliable, and are planned early in the design process. We focus on robust infrastructure that works every time you press a button.
