A Smart Home is Not Just a Trendy Toy but a Serious Investment in Comfort, Safety, and Even Property Value.
With over 7 years of experience in designing and implementing home automation systems, I have completed more than 120 projects, and the most common question from clients is: 'How much will it cost?'
Let's break down the pricing and explain why professional automation requires significant investment.
Key Cost Components of a Smart Home
1. Design Documentation and Engineering Solutions
The project is the foundation of a functional and safe smart home system. Our engineers consider the layout of the space, your preferences, integration with utility networks, and develop detailed documentation.
What's included in the project:
- Floor plans with color-coded cable routes
- Electrical schematics (KNX, DALI, and others)
- Equipment specifications
- Operation algorithms and a project timeline
The cost of design for a 100-200 m² property ranges from €500 to €3,000. The price increases if you need multi-level lighting, curtain control, or integration with a heating system.
Do you know what's the most expensive part of a smart home? Planning mistakes! One overlooked cable can lead to wall chiseling and renovation rework. That’s why saving on design is the last thing you should do.
2. Smart Home Equipment
Equipment accounts for 40-60% of the total budget. We only use trusted brands and open standards (KNX, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, DALI, Matter) to ensure reliability and scalability.
Key manufacturers we work with: Jung, Schneider Electric, Hager, HDL, Zennio, Interra, Aqara, Sonoff, TP-Link, Safire, Logic Machine, Iridium.
Equipment price range:
- Basic kit (70-100 m²): from €6,000 to €14,000
- Advanced solutions (150-300 m²): from €14,000 to €32,000
- Large properties (300+ m²): from €30,000
What affects equipment costs? Primarily functionality: do you just want lighting control or full automation of climate, security, curtains, and even lawn irrigation?
3. Electrical Panels — The Heart of the System
A properly assembled electrical panel is the foundation of your smart home's safety and reliability. Our panels are equipped with professional components: relays, KNX and DALI power supplies, line protection, and interface modules.
- Standard panel for an apartment: from €900
- Custom panel for a house: from €1,500 to €4,500
We assemble standard panels in-house using proven templates—this reduces errors and lowers costs. The result is a more compact and aesthetically pleasing panel compared to makeshift installations.
4. Installation and Commissioning
This cost category includes cable routing, sensor and controller installation, panel assembly and connection, and system integration. All work is performed by certified specialists.
- Apartment (70-120 m²): from €2,000 to €6,500
- House (200-400 m²): from €4,500 to €10,000
Installation costs depend on the property size, complexity, and accessibility of utilities. If the system is installed during construction, it’s usually cheaper than retrofitting into a finished renovation.
5. Smart Home System Programming
Custom scenarios are what truly make your home 'smart.' We program various modes: 'morning,' 'evening,' 'away,' 'guests,' configure climate, lighting, and security control, and integrate voice assistants.
Programming cost: from €1,000 to €15,000, depending on the number of devices and scenario complexity.
How Much Does a Turnkey Smart Home Cost?

Real Case Study: 250 m² Country House
The client initially purchased €15,000 worth of equipment (Tuya, Smart Life systems) on their own. Later, they had to spend an additional €4,000 on gateways due to compatibility issues.
After consulting us, we developed a KNX+DALI-based project (€2,800), assembled a panel (€4,500), and performed installation (€8,000). As a result, 40% of the previously purchased equipment was integrated, and the system became reliable and ready for expansion.
It's important to understand: a smart home can be built in stages. Our approach allows for laying out all cable routes and future expansion capabilities upfront, then gradually adding features—curtains, air conditioning, heating, and other systems.
Any changes can be made during construction, and the client always keeps an updated project version. Thanks to our expertise, you save up to 40% on procurement and installation costs through precise planning and error prevention.
