Your Smart Home Cost Quotation

Planning a smart home during your renovation — or adding one to the home you already live in — and wondering what it will actually cost? This page walks you through every part of a smart home the way we would in our showroom: what each piece does, what it costs in Singapore, and the one or two decisions that genuinely change your quotation. As you read, you can tap answers to the questions along the way — at the end, everything you’ve told us comes together into a summary you can review and send us, and we’ll WhatsApp you a ballpark figure within one working day.

Every home is different, so we quote “à la carte” — you pay only for the hardware and services you actually need. You don’t need to count switches or measure curtain tracks to get started (that was the old version of this page — we’ve learned!). Rough answers are enough for a real ballpark, and our team will fine-tune the numbers with you on WhatsApp. Plans change, quantities change — we’re flexible on changes and returns, so nothing you answer here locks you in.

First — a little about your home

The single biggest factor in any smart home quotation is where you are in your journey. During a renovation, your electrician is already opening walls — wiring for smart switches and curtain power points costs very little extra. In a finished home, everything can still be done, but the product choices shift toward retrofit-friendly options.

Is this for an upcoming home, or one you're already living in?

Just as important: the type of home. A 3-room flat, a condominium and a three-storey landed house need very different amounts of hardware to cover — it’s the first thing that sets the scale of any ballpark.

Smart switches

Smart lighting in Singapore homes is usually achieved by replacing your lighting wall switches with smart switches, so your existing lights — downlights, cove lights, ceiling fans with lights — become app-, voice- and automation-controllable without changing the lights themselves. Switches come in 1-gang, 2-gang and 3-gang variants matching your electrical layout, and it’s fine to leave some rooms out (bomb shelter, helper’s room) — many of our clients do.

Hardware-wise, smart wall switches cost between $45 and $99 per switch depending on the model and number of gangs — the Aqara D1 starts at $45, the newer H1 from $55, and the flagship Z1 Pro (which handles both wiring types and up to 4 gangs on one plate) from $70. If you’re choosing between models, this comparison article is a good starting point. Two-way switches (the same light controlled from two walls) work fine with smart switches — count them as ordinary switches for now and we’ll handle the wiring details later. There’s also a simple water heater smart switch that many clients call their favourite upgrade: your heater is warm when you wake, and never left on all day.

The neutral wire question (worth 60 seconds if you’re renovating)

Switch boxes in Singapore developments do not have a neutral wire by default. Smart switches come in neutral and no-neutral versions — both work well, and you can mix them in one home — but neutral switches are generally more capable (they even strengthen your Zigbee network as signal repeaters). Here’s why this matters now: pulling neutral wires is cheap and easy while your renovation walls are open, and expensive after. If you’re renovating, ask your electrician about adding neutrals to your switch boxes — it’s a now-or-never decision. Living in a finished home? No-neutral smart switches exist precisely for you, and they work great. More detail: neutral vs no-neutral smart switches.

Will your switch boxes have neutral wires?

Downlights, track lights and false ceilings

Beyond switching your existing lights, renovation is also the moment to think about the lights themselves — recessed downlights and modular smart track lighting (spotlights, floods and grille bars that snap anywhere along a track). Whether these are options for you depends mostly on one thing: your ceiling.

Interested in new smart lighting fixtures (downlights, track lights)?

Why false ceilings matter: recessed downlights and flush-mounted track systems need a false ceiling (or an L-box) to sit inside — that’s a renovation-time carpentry decision, not something to retrofit later. No false ceiling planned? No problem: surface-mounted tracks install on any ceiling, anytime. Telling us your ceiling plan lets us point you at the right family immediately.

Are false ceilings part of your plan?

Smart home hubs (don’t worry about this one)

Our devices talk over Zigbee, a wireless protocol that needs a hub — think of it as the router of your smart home. Some hubs double as home-monitoring cameras or infrared blasters that control your air-conditioners. As a rule of thumb you’ll want roughly one hub per 500 sqft and at least one per storey, and homes with neutral smart switches often need fewer, since those switches repeat the Zigbee signal.

The reason there’s no question here: the right hub follows from everything else you pick, so we’ll simply include the correct one in your ballpark — it’s one line on the quote, not a decision you need to research.

Smart curtains and blinds

Two routes here. For a new home or new curtains, a motorised track system (motor + custom-length track, curtains open with app, voice, schedule or a gentle hand-tug) starts from about $409 per window. Already have curtains you love? A retrofit curtain driver that rides along your existing rod starts from $140. Things worth knowing: day-and-night curtains need two tracks and two motors; tracks run up to 6 metres; both centre-open and side-open configurations work; and the motor needs a power point near the ceiling — another detail that’s nearly free during renovation. We fabricate tracks, not fabrics, so your curtain vendor stays in the picture (or ask us to introduce one of our partners).

Smart door locks

Fingerprint, PIN, NFC, app — and no more “did I lock the door?” moments. Smart locks are the one category where we consider professional installation essential, and it’s included in how we quote them. Entry models start from $199, with most of the popular kits landing between $259 and $549. When we prepare your quotation we’ll ask for four quick photos — door front, back, side, and frame — to confirm compatibility with your door and gate before you commit to anything.

Sensors, security and cameras

Wireless, battery-powered sensors are the glue of a smart home: lights that come on when motion is detected, the aircon that shuts off when a window opens, a nudge on your phone when the door opens while you’re away. Because they’re stick-anywhere wireless, they’re as easy to add to a 20-year-old flat as to a new BTO — and camera hubs add home monitoring without a separate CCTV system.

Aircon and climate control

If your air-conditioners use infrared remotes, an IR-capable hub can bring them into your smart home — schedules, “cool the bedroom before I arrive”, auto-off when windows open. It’s one of the cheapest comfort upgrades in the whole catalogue since it usually rides on a hub you’d own anyway.

Want your aircon in the smart home too?

What does a smart home cost in Singapore?

Real numbers, from our current price list — the same prices you’ll see in our store and configurator:

  • Smart wall switches: $45–$99 per switch (model and gang count), so a typical whole-home setup of 8–15 switches runs $360–$1,500 in hardware.
  • Switch installation: $25 per switch with a $200 minimum, GST included — most whole-home installations land at $200–$375. Your own electrician can also install them, especially during a renovation.
  • Smart door locks: from $199; most popular kits $259–$549, plus installation.
  • Smart curtains: retrofit drivers from $140 per window; full motorised track systems from $409 per window (fabric not included).
  • Sensors and hubs: typically the smallest line on the quote — most homes add a few sensors and one or two hubs.

Put together, making every light switch in your home smart usually costs $600–$1,900 including installation, before optional categories like locks and curtains. Renovating? Budget a little with your electrician for neutral wires and ceiling power points — pulled during reno they cost very little and open up your best options.

Common cost questions

How much does smart switch installation cost in Singapore?

Our licensed installers charge $25 per switch with a $200 minimum, GST included. The switches themselves cost $45–$99 each depending on model and gang count. If you’re renovating, your own electrician can usually install smart switches as part of the electrical works.

How much does a smart home cost for a 4-room HDB?

A typical 4-room HDB with smart switches throughout uses 8–12 switches, which works out to roughly $700–$1,500 including installation. A smart door lock adds $259–$549 for most kits, and smart curtains add from $140 (retrofit) or $409 (motorised track) per window. Most of our 4-room clients land somewhere between $1,000 and $2,500 all-in, depending on how many categories they include.

Do smart switches need a neutral wire?

No — no-neutral smart switches work in standard Singapore switch boxes, which don’t carry a neutral wire by default. Neutral versions are somewhat more capable (and act as Zigbee repeaters), so if you’re renovating it’s worth asking your electrician to pull neutral wires while the walls are open. You can mix neutral and no-neutral switches freely in one home.

Can I make my home smart after renovation is done?

Yes. No-neutral smart switches, retrofit curtain drivers, battery-powered sensors and smart locks are all designed for finished homes — no hacking, no rewiring. The only things that genuinely need renovation timing are pulled neutral wires, ceiling power points for curtain motors, and recessed lighting in false ceilings.
