Smart home tech has moved on a long way, and much of it works best when it’s properly wired in rather than dangling off a plug. Here’s what’s possible.
What you can wire in
- Smart lighting — app and voice control, dimming, scenes and schedules.
- Smart switches and dimmers — make existing lights controllable.
- Heating — smart thermostats and controls that cut bills.
- Video doorbells and cameras — hard-wired, so no flat batteries.
- Smart sockets — control and monitor appliances.
- Blinds, security and EV charging — brought into one system.
Wired vs plug-in
Plug-in gadgets are fine to start with, but wired-in devices are tidier, more reliable and permanent. A professionally installed smart home just works — no clutter, no dead batteries.
The neutral-wire catch
Many smart switches need a neutral wire at the switch, which older homes may not have. We check for this and either use compatible kit or add the wiring so everything works.
One app to rule them all
Where possible we bring your lighting, heating and more into a single app or voice assistant, and show you how to use it. Pair it with an LED lighting upgrade for the biggest impact.
