Whether you’re planning for wired automation or retrofit automation for your new home, proper wiring is an essential first phase to installing a home automation system and configuring the devices so they can all communicate with each other seamlessly. If done correctly, proper wiring can save you money, time and frustration. And hence in this blog, we try to answer the most common questions regarding the difference between wired and retrofit home automation.
Mostly in this type of system, all the devices that are to be included in the automation system are connected to a central hub via wired connections. Hence for full house automation in this type of system, the amount of wiring required is almost double the wiring required for a regular electric system of the house.
There are many types of cables required:
Mostly in this type of system, there is a central hub that communicates with all other devices wirelessly. So no major wiring is required. But to get a smooth and seamless experience you’ll need some minimum amount of wiring. Hence the wiring cost for automation sums up to about 10% or less of the regular electric wiring cost.
Here also there are mainly 3 types of cables required:
Observing all the factors of wired as well as retrofit systems it is best to use a balanced system i.e. a mixture of both the systems or you can also call it a semi wireless system. In which there is no need for major wiring but will also eliminate the range issues as observed in complete retrofit/wireless systems thus making it reliable and stable.
