Smart Home Planning Tips for Renovations and New Builds
The best time to plan smart home features is before the walls are finished. Even small planning decisions can improve daily usability and reduce future rework.
1) Plan control points and switch locations
Think about how you actually use the space. Good switch placement and circuit grouping makes smart lighting feel effortless.
2) Choose a platform direction early
A clear platform direction prevents compatibility problems and creates a stable foundation for expansion.
3) Prioritise daily usability
A smart home should work smoothly for everyone in the household — including guests — without relying on apps for basic tasks.
4) Keep future expansion in mind
Even if you start small, plan for the next stage so your system can grow without being rebuilt.
