Choose the functions your home needs

A useful brief describes what you want to happen, rather than listing devices alone. For example, you may want a lighting scene for the living room, scheduled curtain opening or separate temperature settings for different rooms. Ask which functions the proposed equipment supports and how you will operate them.

  • Lighting: identify the rooms, lighting circuits, dimming needs and preferred wall controls. See our lighting control services.
  • Air conditioning: provide the existing AC and thermostat models, the zones to control and the schedules you want.
  • Curtains and blinds: list the openings, existing motors and whether you want individual or grouped operation.
  • Entrance and security systems: discuss any proposed connection to video intercoms, access control, CCTV or intrusion alarms. Confirm compatibility and each system's own operating requirements.
  • Entertainment: explain your plans for multiroom audio, living-room AV, a home theatre or outdoor audio, including the rooms and sources involved.

Planning a retrofit or a new installation

For an existing apartment or villa, share photographs of wall switches, thermostats and equipment labels, together with a room list. Tell us which finishes must be preserved and whether access above ceilings or to existing cables is available. For a new build or renovation, provide the current layout and electrical drawings so the automation scope can be discussed alongside the other installation work.

Read our home automation retrofit planning guide for a checklist of rooms, wiring, controls and compatibility questions. Where connected devices are proposed, include any weak-coverage areas in a review of your home Wi-Fi.

Check existing equipment before choosing a system

A brand name alone does not confirm that two products will work together. Include model numbers, controllers, applications and any available system documentation in your enquiry. For an existing Schneider KNX, Honeywell, Siemens, ABB or Johnson Controls system, include controller and device details so compatibility can be reviewed.

Ask which functions will be available through wall switches, an app or other controls; which need an internet connection; and whether subscriptions or additional controllers are required. Agree the supported integrations before ordering equipment.

What to include in a quotation request

  • Your Dubai location, property type and approximate number of rooms.
  • The lights, AC zones, curtains and other systems you want to control.
  • Existing equipment details, drawings and photographs where available.
  • Preferred controls, household access needs and examples of useful scenes.
  • Whether the home is occupied, under renovation or at the planning stage.
  • Your preferred timing and any access restrictions.

Ask for a quotation that separates equipment, wiring or installation work, configuration and any optional items. The agreed scope should state what is included, what depends on an assessment and what support or ongoing charges apply. Scheduling and occupancy controls can help manage unnecessary use, but savings depend on equipment, settings and household habits.

Agree testing, handover and future changes

Before installation, agree how the proposed functions will be demonstrated. Include local controls, scenes, schedules, app access and the expected behaviour after a power or internet interruption. Ask for user instructions and an explanation of how to change schedules, manage household access and request support.

If you want to add rooms later, discuss that requirement at the planning stage. Expansion should be checked against the selected equipment and infrastructure. Send your home automation requirements to Helukat so the next step can be agreed.

Home Automation Questions

+Can home automation be fitted to an existing home?

An existing home needs an assessment of its wiring, switches, equipment and available installation access. Share a room list and photographs so the options and any work affecting finishes can be discussed before a quotation is agreed.

+Will every device work through one app?

Confirm this for the exact equipment in the proposal. Provide existing model numbers and ask which devices, scenes and functions can be managed together. Agree any separate applications, controllers or subscriptions before installation.

+What happens if the internet connection stops?

Ask for the expected behaviour of each proposed function to be documented and demonstrated. Local controls, schedules and remote access can have different requirements depending on the equipment selected.

+What affects the installation cost?

The scope depends on the rooms and systems involved, equipment, wiring access, installation work and configuration. Request an itemised quotation after the requirements and any assessment needs have been reviewed.

+Can I automate selected rooms first?

Include your preferred first phase and any future rooms in the enquiry. Ask whether the proposed equipment and infrastructure can support that plan and what additional work a later phase would require.
