How much does a smart home cost? Is it expensive to buy a full set? With the rise and popularization of smart homes, many families have started thinking about purchasing and installing a whole-home smart system. There is currently a dazzling array of smart home products on the market, with prices ranging widely. So how much does it roughly cost to install a full smart home system? Is it expensive?
How Much Does a Smart Home Cost:
In fact, it is very difficult to give an exact figure for this question, because there are too many factors involved, so it is generally impossible to provide a relatively precise quotation.However, we can estimate it from various aspects and arrive at a relatively reliable price.
Taking a three-bedroom, two-living-room home as an example, if you only want to achieve lighting control, a few thousand yuan may be enough. A setup with conventional functions that is relatively economical generally costs around ten to twenty thousand yuan, while imported high-end brands generally cost 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. For villas, installing a smart home system will cost much more because of the increase in control points. In many cases, to achieve the desired control effect, an additional smart host may be installed on each floor, which also adds significant cost. So what exactly does a complete smart home system cost?
1. Appliance control: The cost of smart socket control for TVs, air conditioners, and water heaters is only around 120 to 200 yuan each. Infrared forwarding is generally an additional function of the smart host. Based on the floor plan above, six sockets would be about enough, costing around 1,000 yuan. 2. Lighting control cost: At present, for relatively inexpensive control panels on the market, you can choose WiFi versions. They are not only easy to configure, but also fully meet daily usage needs. Generally, one panel costs around 120 to 200 yuan. Based on the floor plan above, about ten panels would be enough, for a cost of around 2,000 yuan. 3. Access control system: The price of a fingerprint lock depends on the entrance door, but under normal circumstances 3,000 yuan is usually enough. Do not just go for the cheapest option, because this is not something you should buy casually. Recently, many well-known smart companies have also launched fingerprint locks with facial recognition. The prices are not too high either. If conditions permit, it is recommended to personally try them out at a smart home experience store so that you can know which functions really meet your needs. 4. Intelligent shading control: Electric curtains and electric window openers generally cost about 1,200 yuan per room package. According to the floor plan above, four sets would be enough, and the total cost would be about 6,000 yuan. 5. Security alarms: Door magnetic sensors, infrared detectors, smoke alarms, and gas alarms are not expensive because the underlying technology and parts are already mature. For the floor plan above, one full set would be enough, costing about 500 yuan. 6. Whole-house control: If you want to achieve unified management, a good-performance host is indispensable, but you must choose a reliable brand. Besides guaranteed quality, a strong database means fewer convenience and compatibility issues. Generally, you can choose one with features such as radio frequency. A host that can ensure the realization of the above functions costs about 1,000 yuan. Let's calculate it together: panels 2,000 + sockets 1,000 + shading 6,000 + security 500 + access control 3,500 + host 1,000 = 14,000 RMB. This is the price for a fully equipped setup. The two highest-cost items here are shading at 6,000 and access control at 3,500, totaling 9,500 yuan. After subtracting these two items, only 4,500 yuan remains. In real life, we can configure according to our own needs. Some items are not necessary. For example, if I only need a security alarm to guard the home, then 500 yuan for a security camera setup is enough; if I only need mobile phone control of lighting fixtures, then 1,000 yuan is enough. As for the above equipment, if different brands and different technologies are chosen, the prices will also be completely different. The strength of the smart home control system differs, the technology differs, the brand differs, the control method differs, and imported products differ from domestic ones. All these will create large differences. The price actually has little to do with the size of the house.
