Smart Home

Build out connected homes that combine control, comfort, security and entertainment with a focused selection of smart home devices and automation products. This collection includes lighting controls, thermostats, shades, security devices, bridges, sensors and smart-home accessories for replacement, expansion and new-system planning. Before choosing a product, define its role in the overall system and identify the equipment, cabling, mounting or control requirements it must work with.

Choose by system requirements first. Key points to compare include automation ecosystem, communication protocol, network requirements, power, controller compatibility, installation method and desired automations. For retrofit work, document the equipment already installed and verify interfaces before changing components. That approach helps avoid purchasing hardware that is technically capable but not appropriate for the specific installation.
