Smart Home Guides

Updated November 1, 2026

Here we explain in plain terms what we are asked most about smart homes in existing apartments: what can be done without renovating, where the system runs, and what is needed for everything to work reliably.

• How Do You Turn an Existing Apartment into a Smart Home Without Renovating?

  What you can do in an existing apartment without renovating: controllers behind the switches, a stable network, cameras and one local control system for the whole home.

• Local Control vs. Cloud in a Smart Home: What Is the Difference and What Suits You?

  The difference between a smart home that runs locally in your home and one that depends on cloud servers: reliability, privacy, speed, and why our smart home runs locally.

• A Smart Controller Behind Your Existing Switch: How Does It Work?

  What a smart controller installed in the switch box is, why the switch keeps working, and what to check before installation.

• Network Points and a Stable Network for a Smart Home: What Do You Need to Know?

  Why a smart home needs a stable network, when a wired network point is worth it, and how to plan WiFi that covers the whole home.
