How to choose a smart home system, what to look out for? - Our wizard will help!
Nowadays, the installation of smart home systems in houses and apartments is also becoming increasingly popular in Hungary. Many brands and manufacturers are represented on the market, but not all systems are suitable for long-term, reliable operation.
In the next few points, we provide you with some useful tips:
Your brand - Choose wisely!
It does matter which manufacturer's product you choose. If the company has information about the identity of the product it is selling, that is a positive thing. Brand and quality should go hand in hand. And quality comes from a brand with the right background.
Price - a cheap system does not always pay off in the long run.
This is particularly true for smart home systems. The price of a product is related to the knowledge of the system, the brand and the quality. When deciding between two systems, consider not only the price but also the technical content, as in many cases low price is at the expense of quality.
Quality - How long does the manufacturer guarantee the quality of the product?
For a good quality smart system, warranty is not the last consideration. A manufacturer with the right background puts a strong emphasis not only on the product but also on the service. In their case, you don't need to buy extra insurance and other extra guarantees because they are confident in the reliability of their products and the knowledge of their technicians.
System compatibility with other smart systems.
If you would like to upgrade your smart system later, we can do so at any time after proper technical preparation! It is important that the manufacturer's products are compatible with each other for years to come. In the case of BECKER this is true up to 100%.
Radio or Wi-Fi? - Does it matter?
Indeed, it matters how our automated consumers communicate. The big advantage of a radio system over a Wi-Fi system is that there is no direct access to the system by an external party, yet we can still access the home remotely from any smart device. How is this possible? Read our previous article on why BECKER uses radio technology.
Opportunities - My smart home.
Manufacturers with a wide range of products, yet working with an open standard, give us much more freedom to design our smart home. Whether it's shading or simply lighting, a brand with a wide range of products can help us bring our home to life in a way that's comfortable and appropriate for our lifestyle and ourselves.
So, as the above shows, a smart system is a long-term investment and its value is quickly recouped. Not to mention that if we later decide to buy our house/apartment or simply want to rent it out, the sale/sale price will also appreciate because of the smart system installed. It is therefore worth considering the above mentioned aspects when deciding to install a smart home. From our previous series of posts, and how BECKER's intelligent system can automate your home.
