01PLANNING GUIDE
Smart home technology is easiest to add when walls and ceilings are open. Even if you do not install everything now, planning the cabling and positions during a renovation keeps future options open.
Next step
Tell us what you would like to control. We match you with contractors who coordinate smart-home cabling.
Talk to a renovation specialistOr message us on WhatsAppLighting scenes, air-conditioning schedules, motorised curtains and blinds, door access, cameras and audio are the most common. Each has cabling, power or positioning needs that are simplest to meet at first fix.
Wireless systems are easier to retrofit; wired systems are more robust and suit larger villas. A strong home network — data cabling to key rooms and access points in the ceiling — underpins almost everything and is worth installing even if other systems come later.
Spare conduits, power at curtain positions, a neutral wire at switches and a central equipment location give flexibility. Documentation of what is installed where helps whoever maintains it later.
