Smart home frequently asked questions

Below is just a small selection of the most popular frequently asked questions that we get asked.


  • What is the best smart home system?

    This is a very subjective answer; there are many different manufacturers who produce very good smart home solutions. They all have different strengths and weaknesses which means that the best smart home solution will be the one with the features and functions that most closely matches your specific requirements.


    At Automated Spaces we take a consultative approach when engaging with our clients, which means after we have fully understood their requirements, we can then recommend the best solution. 


    In the majority of cases, we find that Control4 is the most cost-effective smart home solution that can provide the breadth of features and functions required to fulfil our client’s requirements. 


    Then when you combine this with the fact that Control4 works with nearly 16,000 (this number is rapidly growing) third-party consumer devices, it has an intuitive user interface that can be easily customised by clients after it has been installed, the product is constantly evolving and improving and there is an excellent support service provided by Control4 to its authorised installers…these all mean that we know that our clients will have their expectations exceeded when they live in their smart home.

  • How much does a smart home cost?

    With the continuing proliferation of manufacturers entering the smart home sector, providing a wide range of solutions across a multitude of technology categories; from Smart Lighting, Home Entertainment to Safety & Security, how do you even begin to estimate the cost to create a smart home?


    The answer lies in our proven discovery process to qualify and better understand the current as well as the future requirements for the people who will be using the smart home, along with creating an agreed scope of technologies to be implemented, in line with the available budgets.


    We can help people, who might not know all the possible capabilities of a smart home, understand the ‘art of the possible’. Also, we help people maximise their budgets and ‘plan for the future’. 


    During the initial discussions about a project, we gain an insight into the lifestyle of the people who will use the smart home so we can design for their individual requirements. How to plan for a phased installation, where the costs can be spread over a period of time, is also covered along with how we help people identify the value of a smart home.


    If you would like to know how much a smart home, that matches your specific requirements, would cost…then feel free to download load our whitepaper ‘How much does a smart home cost?’ or to connect with us and we will be happy to create a tailored quotation for you.

  • At what stage in our construction project should we begin discussions with a smart home installation company?

    The answer is simple…as early in the project as possible! So that all crucial construction interdependencies as well as technical considerations can be identified and factored into the property design by the relevant parties e.g. the architect or lead contractor.

  • How secure is a smart home system i.e., can a smart home be hacked?

    If any technology is badly implemented, then it can be relatively simple to hack e.g., if you install any device and do not change the manufacturers default password then you should be aware that the device could be hacked with a simple Google search. We install devices with passwords that combine numbers, upper case, lower case letters and symbols. The passwords will have a character length long enough that it would typically take a hacker using a computer over 34,000 years to guess. 


    We also give our clients advice to help stop them becoming a victim of more sophisticated hacking attacks such as not clicking on links in emails they receive, using 2 factor authentication systems to secure their personal devices, email and social media accounts, etc. 


    We also protect all our internal systems with multiple layers of security including fingerprint scanning to access key devices that contain sensitive data.

  • Will a smart home be complex to use on a day-to-day basis?

    We look to eliminate all complexity from the smart homes we design and implement for our clients. 


    We will create an interface that is intuitive to use and that can be easily customised by our clients to match their individual preferences and include their commonly used favourite functions within 1 or 2 buttons clicks.


    We provide thorough onsite and hands on training to all our clients as part of the formal project handover process along with comprehensive user manuals and cheat sheets. 


    We also provide fantastic on-going support to our clients that includes a telephone support service that allows them to even call us to ask, ‘How do I?’ type questions.


    Combining all the approaches above totally removes the complexity for our clients.

What our clients say


"We used Automated Spaces for an extensive range of smart home products / services when we renovated our home (all installed using Control4 automation). We were very pleased with the service provided by Automated Spaces - professional, friendly, reliable, responsive and with the products installed to a high standard. We are impressed with the level of aftercare we continue to receive for for ongoing maintenance and service after the initial installation (there were different options available which suited our budget and preferred requirements)."

G Y, Leicestershire


"We used Automated Spaces when we converted our basement. They installed a full Control4 Smart Home system future proofed to spread multi-room audio throughout our house, with a secure home network, wi-fi and a home cinema. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from the team. They were meticulous and professional to the end and the aftercare has been outstanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and can’t wait to use them again to improve the rest of our home."

R Lowery, Manchester


"We had a cctv system, video door bell and additional WiFi boosting fitted. The whole process was conducted in a professional and friendly manner, and the installation was completed to a very high standard."

G Lee, Leicestershire


"Utilised Automated Spaces for some equipment to be installed in my house. Equipment delivered promptly and was installed clearly and quickly. Even corrected and reinstalled cabling that a previous installer had done incorrectly. Very friendly service. Can't recommend them highly enough and will certainly use again."
