Hi, read the article, very informative and thanks for taking time to write on this topic.

I need some help since I'm planning to demolish my house and rebuilt it from 2 to 3 storey. Its just a corner terrace house. I am not so savvy on programming and don’t have time to tinker with hardware. I also have parents who are not so tech savvy.

So, my question is this,

1. since its a demolish and rebuild, should i wire the house ( like for normal wiring of houses) and then install the switches or just plan from beginning as a smart house design

2. I'm looking at Lutron system (not decided), planning to have a look at their showroom at Kelana Jaya. This appears to out of the box setup from what the sales person is saying and they will help set it up.

3. I see lots of contractor not keen to have this and always have something negative to say about HA and smart home. Your opinion?


Please help me decide on the above matters, please also feel free to comment any other things that i have misses.

Thanks a lot for the input.

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. I agree with you that more research needs to be done from my side, looking at the pros and cons along with the budget.
About the plug points -- totally agree with the number of points needed.

Really appreciate your time and input. Will print this out as my notes to make sure i don’t miss out any points.
