How this calculator works

The estimator starts with spaces and lighting points, then applies your automation depth and feature choices. It separates visible devices from the wiring, hub, network and backup-power infrastructure that makes a smart property dependable.

Count real spaces and light points instead of applying one generic room allowance.

Scale lighting modules, sensing and control points to an essentials, connected or whole-home scope.

Include local control, networking and low-voltage power so the system remains useful during internet and grid outages.

Worked example

A practical planning scenario

A four-bedroom duplex with a living room, kitchen, corridors, outdoor zones and gate can require dozens of lighting circuits plus AC controllers, curtain motors, sensors, locks, hubs and network points. This calculator keeps that scope visible before finishes or equipment purchases.

Frequently asked questions

Will the smart home still work without internet?+

Core lights, switches, locks and scenes should be designed for local operation. Remote access and cloud voice services may require internet.

Can an existing property be automated?+

Usually, but neutral wiring, back-box depth, switch type, Wi-Fi coverage and cable routes must be checked before equipment is selected.

Should automation be on inverter backup?+

Yes. Hubs, network equipment, locks and important control circuits should be included in the essential backup-power plan.
