As smart home tech becomes more popular across Australia, there are a few key things Aussies should consider before building their connected home. Determine what issues you want to solve – whether it’s energy efficiency, security, entertainment or convenience – and research smart devices that can address those needs like air conditioners, security cameras and lighting. Ensure your home’s NBN network and electrical systems can support the added connectivity load. Shop for compatible devices that work on a single platform or app like Google Home or Amazon Alexa to minimise complexity. Consider smart home brands popular in Australia like Philips Hue, Netatmo or Ring. Research security protocols before installing devices – look for two-factor authentication. Finally, explore incentives, rebates or solar programs offered in your state or territory to take full advantage of home automation. With good planning, Australians can create customised, energy-efficient smart homes optimised for their lifestyle.
