Define each room’s needs before choosing smart-home equipment
Start with a function you use every day rather than buying devices at random. GO SMART starts with your requirements and a compatibility review, followed by a quotation listing defined components and functions.

Start with your needs
Start with a function you use every day rather than buying devices at random. GO SMART starts with your requirements and a compatibility review, followed by a quotation listing defined components and functions.
Lighting
Count the lighting circuits and distinguish switching from dimming, which requires compatible lamps and controls.
Curtains
Record the curtain type, dimensions and intended operation so the track and motor can be assessed.
Air conditioning
Keep the AC model number and a photo of the remote and list the controls you want.
Review compatibility before buying
Your home’s construction stage affects wiring and installation choices. Do not assume devices using different apps will work together, or that every function will remain available without internet. Ask how the proposed system behaves before approving it.
