Your floor plan
The latest layout, electrical and reflected-ceiling drawings if you have them.
Plan before you buy
Plan your smart home before renovation starts.
We help homeowners, interior designers and contractors sort out wiring, Wi-Fi, curtains and controls early, while changes are still easy and cheap.
From the PFE project libraryOne practical plan your ID, electrician and installer can all follow.
Consultation brief
A focused design session, with useful decisions at the end of it.
The first conversation tells us whether a detailed consultation is worthwhile. If it is, we agree the brief and fee before starting.

How the home should feel
The routines, rooms and recurring frustrations that matter to the household.
What is already proposed
Quotations, product lists or existing devices you want us to review.
What you receive
A room-by-room direction
What to automate, what to keep conventional and which decisions need to happen now.
Coordination notes

Is this for you?
When we can help.
- ✓You’re choosing an ID or starting detailed design
- ✓Different installers have quoted wildly different systems
- ✓You’d like to buy the hardware yourself, with a solid plan behind it
- ✓Your landed home needs smart home, network and M&E worked out together
A plan everyone can work from
A product list won’t tell your electrician which switches need a neutral wire, your carpenter where a curtain motor needs access, or your cabling team where the ceiling data points go. We join those dots before anyone turns up on site.
We’ll also tell you what to leave alone. Not every light, appliance or room needs to be smart.
Advice that isn’t tied to one brand
PFE can supply the hardware and Smarter can install it, but you’re not buying a product bundle in disguise. Depending on your home, we might recommend Home Assistant, Apple Home, Google Home, Aqara, KNX or something else.
How it works
From first chat to finished home.
Talk through the home
We learn how you live, what you’d like to improve and what should stay simple.
Look at the plans
We go through the wiring, Wi-Fi, curtains and anything already installed.
Put the plan together
You get a room-by-room plan with clear recommendations, most important first.
Choose who installs it
Use the plan with us, your own contractors or another installer.
A clear fee before detailed work begins
How Smarter pricing worksYou only pay for what your home needs.
The first conversation is about understanding what you need. If a detailed design is worth doing, we’ll tell you exactly what you’ll get and what it costs before we start.
Good to know
Your questions, answered.
When should a smart home consultant join the renovation?+
Ideally during space planning or detailed design, before the electrical and carpentry drawings are final. We can still help later, but planning early keeps more options open and costs less to change.
Can you work with my interior designer and electrician?+
Yes. We give each of them clear notes and drawings on what they need to do, and you stay in charge of your own project team.
Must I buy the recommended products from Smarter?+
No. You can take the design plan to your own contractors or another installer. If you’d like Smarter to do the work, we’ll quote for installation and any equipment supplied through PFE.
Can you review a quotation from another smart home company?+
Yes. We’ll look at how the proposed system works, what’s included, where you might get locked in and what you’ll get at the end. We keep it factual and independent.
