5 Smart Home Mistakes 

Here are five smart home mistakes and how you can fix them. 

1. Opting For A Big Modular Size Switch 

Installing big modular-size smart switches is one of the most common mistakes made when installing a smart home system. Most people assume that they need to purchase big modular-size smart switches (like 12 or 16 modular sizes) in order to get the best possible results. However, this is not the case. In fact, installing a bigger module smart switch may actually make you're interior look poor.

How To Fix This Mistake

• Choose the smart switch with the small modular size. If you are planning smart switches in the hall area, go for 4-modules or 6-module smart switches. This will enhance your interior and make it look sleek and minimalist. 

• If you like a silent look in the home, go for the Mocha series smart switches that fit into your wall design and look seamless. For more information on Mocha, click here.  

3. No Proper Networking In Smart Home

One of the most common mistakes people make when setting up a smart home is not properly networking their devices. This can lead to all sorts of problems, from devices not being able to communicate with each other properly to security vulnerabilities.

If you're not sure how to properly network your smart home devices, there are a few things you can do. 

How To Fix This Mistake

• Consult your device's manual or the manufacturer's website for instructions on how to set up a network.

• Install extra routers for rooms and halls so you can operate every device with maximum speed response.

4. Installing Incompatible Devices 

If you're not careful, installing incompatible devices can be one of the biggest mistakes you can make when setting up a smart home. The wrong devices can not only cause problems with your other devices but can make your smart home experience unhappy. Here are some tips to avoid this mistake.

How To Fix This Mistake

• Do your research: Not all devices are compatible with each other. Make sure to do your research before purchasing any devices, so you know which ones will work together.

• Use a reliable source: There are many websites and forums that can give you information about compatibility issues. However, not all of them are reliable. Stick to reputable sources to get the most accurate information.

• Test it out: If you're unsure whether two devices are compatible, try connecting them and testing them out before adding more devices to the mix. This will help you avoid any potential problems down the road.

5. Planning Switch Panel With Sockets

Smart switches are installed to make your home interior look rich and elegant. So, when you plan them at your home, you also plan for the extra sockets for charging purposes. In that case, some homeowners plan smart switches along with sockets which can make your switchboard look bulky on your wall. So, how can you fix them? Read here.
