We like having smart smoke/fire alarms while we are still in TV......jus in case. |
There is really nothing "smart" about the house unless it comes to the market with permanent hardwired features.
In a wireless world, the modem, router, and devices migrate with the owner.... So, if you have: Connected appliances (IoT) Kasa (or other brand) wired light switches and plugs Ring doorbell (most stay with the house) WiFi irrigation timer WiFi thermostat (eg Nest) Then, sure, list the house as "smart", but just having Cat5 wiring doesn't make the house "smart" in my opinion |

I'll have to get back up on the counter and check again. I only found one (switched) outlet last time I checked... But then again, I can't find the mayonnaise that right in front of me in the refrigerator... |

Hi. I previously owned and operated a Audio/Video company. Years ago before Wi-Fi was so prevalent, we were wiring homes for data (computers), Cable TV, DirectV and multi-feed cable so a single video source could be distributed throughout the home. We wired for whole house music where 4 different audio sources could play at the same time in different rooms with the touch of a button on the wall. Back then, people listened to music for the quality. Not anymore!! Convenience and poor audio quality is accepted today. IMO, a "SmartHome" today does not exist. Most everything now is "plug and play" with "Smart Home" devices. We used to install automated lighting so lights came on at the same time every night. 1button set different "scenes" in the home, this is now accomplished with Google and Alexa. So unless there is "hardwires" in the walls with hardware attached, there really is no "Smart Home" today.
