Smart home system install or services FAQs

There are lots of advantages to home automation and potentially a few drawbacks. Smart home systems improve overall convenience and can help to optimize energy consumption.

Pros:

  • Monitor energy and water use

  • Improve home security

  • Increase resale value and potential

Cons:

  • Not all brands are compatible

  • Subscription fees for monitoring services

  • Wireless systems may be vulnerable to hacking

Home automation can control an array of different aspects of your home, including:

  • Interior and exterior lighting

  • Alarm and security systems

  • Door and window locks

  • Pool, hot tub, and steam bath temperatures

  • Home theater systems and speakers

  • Phone and internet lines

  • Yard irrigation

  • Thermostats

  • Shades, blinds, shutters, and curtains

  • Turning off or lowering water heaters and HVAC functions

  • Detecting water and gas leaks

You should install a wireless system for DIY installs. They’re more budget-friendly but have weaker security. Wired systems cost more and often require a professional.

Security is the biggest difference when it comes to wireless and hardwired setups. Wireless systems are prone to interference and hacking. Hardwired systems are less prone to interference and are exceedingly difficult to hack, as there's no wireless signal to intercept.

For most DIY home solutions, you'll need Wi-Fi. Hardwired systems cost more and may require extra cabling but don't need wireless internet, except for offsite cloud storage and remote control. If you've created a local area network, no internet connection is necessary—even a hardwired one—unless you're accessing a remote service. Some controllers, particularly those for wireless systems, do require an internet connection, so check before you purchase.

Synchronizing systems means your devices will activate or deactivate according to certain conditions. For example, you can set your coffee not to brew if your thermostat is set to away. If your alarm clock goes off, the shower can change to your desired temperature. Different brands may have trouble syncing with one another. Fortunately, hubs like the Wink Hub cost about $50 and ensure your systems work harmoniously.

Data security depends on your provider. It's best to ask your service provider or company for details on how they keep it secure. The most secure form of home automation is a closed, wired system air-gapped from the internet. It would require a hacker to come to your home to steal data physically. If you have concerns, it's worth speaking to a data security specialist before installing a smart home system to take all necessary precautions.
