"Bought security through ADT mainly for the automation options that come with the system. My spouse loves being able to turn on and off our lights in different areas of the house while we are gone. We travel often, so giving the illusion that we are home is a good deterrent."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

Smart switches require a neutral wire for correct installation. Neutral wires aren't typically present in a single-pole switch configuration, so this project can be a tricky one for average DIYers. In most cases, you should hire an electrician to run a new circuit or adapt your existing wiring to include a neutral connection to accommodate a smart switch. 

Basic smart light switches are available for as little as $20. If you can install them yourself, it’s a home upgrade that won’t break the bank. Many homeowners view them as a worthwhile investment for the additional convenience and security they can offer. However, they are a little more tricky to install than standard light switches, so if you don’t have the electrical knowledge to do a DIY job, unless you need a lighting upgrade, remember these are a nice-to-have rather than a necessary purchase.

Yes, many fabricators offer delivery and on-site installation for completed projects.

While smart doorbells offer security and convenience, they come with disadvantages. Most non-wired options rely on a stable internet connection, making them vulnerable to outages. The same applies to wired devices that depend on power, but most models have a backup battery. There is also the privacy issue, as these devices constantly capture video and audio around the front door, which could be a pro or con. Considering these factors is essential before moving forward with installation.

Costs depend on unit size, repair complexity, labor, and whether replacement parts are needed.
