Most electricians who want to get into smart homes are asking the wrong question.
They’re asking “which system should I learn?” - Control4, Loxone, Lutron, whatever.
The real question is: why do 90% of smart home installs have problems within 12 months?
It’s not the gear. It’s never the gear.
It’s because nobody coordinated the infrastructure before first fix. No cable schedule. No rack design. No lighting zones agreed before the sparks started pulling cables.
You can know every product on the market. If you turn up at second fix to a job that was never designed, you’re firefighting.
That’s the stuff we cover in the Academy. Not just “press this button.” Why.
What’s the most expensive mistake you’ve seen on a smart home job?
