The Future of Smart Homes: Integrating Tech Into Your Remodel
By Ryan Johnson
A remodel is the ideal time to add smart-home technology, while walls are open and wiring is accessible. Plan it in early for the cleanest results.
Start with infrastructure
Smart lighting, switches, and a strong mesh network are the foundation. Running wiring and adding boxes during a remodel is far cheaper than retrofitting later.
Prioritize comfort and security
A smart thermostat, video doorbell, and connected locks deliver the most day-to-day value and appeal to future buyers.
Keep it cohesive
Choose devices that work within one ecosystem so everything is controlled from a single app instead of a dozen.
Design around the tech
Smart features should blend into the room's design. Preview placement and finishes with ZRemodel so technology enhances the space rather than cluttering it.
