The starter kit includes a complete solution to ensure the functionality of Smart-Home. It usually consists of a control unit and a number of additional modules. You can purchase additional modules that enhance a set of additional functions.
The starter kit includes:
- home security
- heating regulation
- control and lighting control
- control and management of shutters and blinds
Perfect for beginners
Because the kit already contains everything you need in the basic package, it is ideal for beginners who want to try the operation of the Smart-Home with a minimized investment and without complicated settings.
Keep in mind, however, that it is a closed system with only limited expansion possibilities, which in the vast majority do not allow for interconnection with the systems of other manufacturers.
So if you think of buying Smart-Home, we recommend that you choose a central unit with the support of an open communication protocol, such as Z-Wave or ZigBee, to which you can purchase any products from a wide range of expansion modules that support the same protocol.
Advantages and disadvantages
- Simplicity - single-purpose systems for controlling lights, sockets, heat, etc., all with easy installation and administration
- In one package - available are sets of burglar alarms, CCTV systems, lights etc.
- Nice price - you get a whole assembly at a lower price than if you buy each component separately
| - Limited expansion options
- Systems can not be connected - the individual systems must operate independently through their own interface or application
