Plan your smart home perfectly
If you are planning to automate your own four walls, you should make sure that the requirements and purposes are clearly documented and that you are clear about what and how the whole thing should look for each room. This saves costs for unnecessary components and you have a roadmap for setting up the smart home system.
Typical questions you should ask yourself:
- Which voice assistant do I want to use? Alexa, Siri, Google Home, etc.?
- In which rooms do I want to control the devices by voice?
- Who uses the system in the household?
- What should be controlled smartly? Heating, lamps, blinds, etc.
- What processes / dependencies does the process to be controlled have? Is a motion detector needed? Or something else?
- Is the device compatible with my voice assistants & the other components?
Our tip: start by integrating individual devices into the smart home system and see how often you use the whole thing and then gradually upgrade to get a better feel for the technology and the automation of the devices.

Are you going on vacation? Then you can build a routine that switches the lights on every day at dusk to simulate someone being at home and deter potential burglars. Are you on your way to work and not sure if all devices that don't need power are switched off? WLAN sockets or power strips make it easy to check and switch them off.
Window sensors / door sensors can be used very well as triggers to light up a room or switch off the heating thermostat to save energy. In combination with motion sensors, many automations can be implemented; if you leave your own four walls in the morning, a smart lamp could indicate that you need an umbrella.

Modular retrofitting can sometimes be implemented very cheaply, as these systems are only used when there is a need for them. You can achieve a satisfactory result for around ?100-200!
