Now that we’ve listed the reasons incorporating smart home technology is a good idea, let’s talk a little bit about the preparation of smart home wiring. This applies especially during the new home construction phase, but can be changed later, although more difficult. In any case, you will be involving an electrician to perform these tasks.
Neutral wires are the preferred choice for home automation devices, so be sure to ask your licensed electrician to run neutral wires to all junction boxes. Neutral wires require a three wire connection and apply to dimmers, keypads and other smart home devices. It is also a good idea to have your electrical contractor install deep junction boxes as they can more easily accommodate wall devices, and will make more room to work with. Ask your electrical contractor as well to install cable conduits anywhere you think wires will be needed. They are used to run video cable, network cable and speaker wires. The conduits will be fed into junction boxes over which you can cover with faceplates until you need to use them. Think about building a small wiring closet to store patch and distribution panels, and media servers. The closet is where you can install lots of cable conduits which much of the wiring will end up here.
Now that you know the basics about home automation, make sure you involve a licensed electrician to install it for you. Mistakes can be dangerous or give you a headache when installed improperly. Our qualified electrical contractor will help you from start to finish.
