Technology is advancing and life is improving. With the arrival of smart products, the whole home has become intelligent. So what should be paid attention to when renovating with smart home products? Below we share some experience with smart home renovation.

Smart lighting

At present, a relatively simple solution is to replace traditional wall switches with smart switches, so as to achieve networked control of the lights in the home.

1. Reserve a neutral wire in the switch back box

A normal switch panel only has a live wire, no neutral wire. If you are installing a smart switch, try to have the electrician run a neutral wire. The principle is very simple: any smart device needs both live and neutral wires for power to work. If the renovation is already finished and no neutral wire was laid, it can still be installed, but having a neutral wire makes it more stable.

2. Use a non-metal back box

A metal back box will shield the signal. An ordinary 86 back box is enough. Try not to choose a back box that is too shallow. A back box with a depth of 6 cm or more is definitely fine; if it is less than 5 cm, installation may be rather difficult in the future.

3. It is recommended that each switch have at most two circuits (buttons)

In terms of operating experience, two circuits are much better than three or even four circuits. The buttons on three-circuit switches are too small and very troublesome to operate. If a single room has 3 circuits, two switches can be installed. If it has already been made into three circuits, it can also be installed, and two of the circuits can be combined into one.

4. It is recommended to leave a light strip groove

After leaving a light strip groove, color-changing lights can be installed, and color-changing lights can change color along with music or the TV.

5. Install motion-sensor lights in the bathroom

Motion-sensor lights in the bathroom, hallway and kitchen can be installed right now. With motion-sensor lights, there is no need to manually flip a switch anymore; they light up automatically when someone enters.

Electric curtains

Installing electric curtains is not for controlling the curtains on and off by mobile phone, but for achieving automatic opening and closing of the curtains: automatically closing the curtains before bed, automatically opening them when the weather is good, and so on. If you want your home to achieve these wonderful visions in the future, first pay attention to the following points:

1. Add a five-hole socket at the head of the curtain track; installing one on one side is enough;

2. If there is a curtain box (suspended ceiling), note that the minimum width of the curtain box is 10 cm for a single-layer curtain and 15 cm for a double-layer curtain. Reinforce the top of the curtain box with a double-layer large gold board to prevent noise.

Similarly, electric windows can also be installed, achieving automatic opening and closing of windows according to indoor and outdoor air quality. If you want to install them, you can first leave a power supply at the window.

Smart toilet

Smart toilets are becoming more and more widely accepted. When installing them, pay attention to these small issues:

1. Reserve a tap water outlet

Many new property developments now have two kinds of water supply: tap water and reclaimed water. Reclaimed water is recycled water, specially used for flushing toilets. If reclaimed water is used by mistake, the consequences can be imagined. To know how many kinds of water supply your home has, just look at how many water meters your home has; the two kinds of water are charged differently.

2. Reserve a five-hole socket, which must be waterproof, splash-proof and have a ground wire.

3. Reserve a 5 cm diameter ventilation duct for the toilet to exhaust odors.

Air purification system

Air pollution is becoming more and more serious now, and even indoors it can affect us. For the health of the family, what we can do is purify the air in our own home. Air purification solutions mainly fall into the following three categories:

1. Air purifier

This type of equipment requires no reserved wiring; just buy it, plug it in and use it. However, it has one drawback: it can only circulate the indoor air continuously and cannot form a cycle with outdoor air, which may cause the indoor carbon dioxide concentration to become too high.

2. Wall-mounted fresh air system

A fresh air system purifies outdoor air and then inputs it indoors. This kind of fresh air purifier has a better effect than ordinary air purifiers and is also more expensive, but ordinary families can afford it. To install it, a hole must be drilled in the wall, and the installation position can be decided by yourself as long as it does not affect the appearance. Do not forget to leave a power supply at the installation position.

3. Professional fresh air system

This type of system is composed of an air exchanger and ducts, with air supply outlets and exhaust outlets. The room needs a suspended ceiling. Its purification effect is the best, and of course it is also the most expensive. Generally, villas will have it installed, while ordinary apartments rarely do. However, as the impact of air pollution becomes more and more serious, this kind of system may also enter ordinary people's homes in the future.

Security video surveillance

Video surveillance mainly has two uses: one is watching children, and the other is guarding against thieves. It is recommended to install it in the children's room and directly facing the main door, and try not to install it in the living room and bedroom. Just leave a power supply where it is needed, and note that it is best not to be backlit.

Audio-visual system

Those who like watching movies can install an audio-visual system in the living room; the surround sound effect beats all standalone speakers. For the video solution, you can choose to keep only a TV; a TV combined with a projector (using an electric projection screen when watching movies normally); or you can also look into laser TVs.
