What the Smart Home Configurator Does
Most smart home retrofits are done piecemeal — a few smart bulbs, a Nest thermostat, a video doorbell — and end up as a messy app graveyard with overlapping ecosystems and unreliable automation. The right way is to plan it as one system at the wiring stage: where the data points go, which rooms get smart lighting circuits, where the heating zones split, and what cabling will the future EV charger or solar PV need.
Our configurator walks you through it room by room. You pick the property size, then for each room you choose from features that actually work in that space — smart lighting + scenes for the living room, zoned heating + smart blinds in bedrooms, security + AV in the hallway, garden lighting + outdoor sockets outside. The tool filters to what's realistic in each room and gives you a realistic Irish-market price band per feature.
At the end you have a single planning brief: what gets wired where, what runs on what circuit, total ballpark cost, and a one-click button to turn it into a fixed-price quote we can build to.
Who It's For
- Self-builders or builders planning a new build with smart-home wiring from day one
- Homeowners doing a full rewire who want smart-ready infrastructure built in
- Anyone planning a major extension and wondering whether to future-proof for smart features
- Property developers fitting out multi-unit residential schemes
- Existing homeowners wanting a structured upgrade plan instead of random gadgets
How It Works
1. Pick your property
1–2 bed apartment, 3-bed semi, 4-bed detached, 5+ bed or commercial. Sets sensible defaults for circuit count, lighting zones and capacity.
2. Pick your rooms
Tick each room you want included — living room, kitchen, bedrooms, hall, bathroom, utility, garden, garage. We only show features that make sense in each space.
3. Choose features per room
Smart lighting, smart heating, zoned controls, security, EV charger integration, AV, smart blinds, outdoor sockets, USB outlets, data points. See typical cost per feature.
4. Get your quote
Personalised quote with total range. Send to us with one click and we'll come back with a fixed-price quote within 48 hours.

Smart Home FAQs
Is it better to wire smart features in at rewire, or add them later?
At rewire, every time. Once the walls are open you can run dedicated lighting circuits, data points, neutrals at every switch, and lay cables for future EV/solar with almost no extra cost. Retrofitting later means chasing walls again or settling for wireless workarounds that are less reliable.
What does a smart-home-ready rewire cost extra?
Maybe 10–20% over a standard rewire, depending on how many rooms get smart lighting and zoned heating. The cost is mostly in extra cabling and dimmable LED-compatible drivers — the smart switches and hubs themselves are commodity now.
Do I need a hub? Which one?
If you want everything to work together (lights talking to heating, doorbell talking to alarm), yes. Common options: Home Assistant (most flexible, slight learning curve), Apple HomeKit (cleanest UX if you're an Apple household), Google Home (best voice). We'll spec it to whatever ecosystem you're already in.
Will smart lighting work with my dimmable LEDs?
Only if the lamps and the smart switch are compatible. This is the #1 thing people get wrong — non-dimmable LEDs on dimmable switches flicker or don't switch at all. We spec the lamps and the controls as a single system.
Can the configurator handle commercial fit-outs?
Basic commercial yes — shop, office, treatment room, salon. For larger schemes (developments, multi-storey commercial), the configurator is a starting brief — we'd come on site for a proper survey.
