🛠️ What to Expect During a Home Automation Installation

Upgrading to a smart home is one of the best ways to improve comfort, security, and convenience — but many homeowners aren’t sure what actually happens during the installation process. A professional home automation project is smooth, organized, and tailored to your home’s layout and lifestyle.

Here’s a clear breakdown of what to expect when ETIGROUP installs your smart home system.

1. A Walkthrough & System Design Plan

Every project starts with a walkthrough of your home.

We identify:

• Where your equipment will live

• What devices you want to control

• How you use each room

• Wi‑Fi and network requirements

• Lighting, audio, and security needs

This ensures your system is designed around your lifestyle — not just the hardware.

2. Network & Wi‑Fi Optimization

A smart home is only as strong as its network.

Before installing anything else, we make sure your home has:

• Strong Wi‑Fi coverage

• Hardwired connections for AV equipment

• Clean, labeled cabling

• Secure network settings

This prevents lag, dropouts, and unreliable performance.

3. Installing Smart Devices & Controllers

Once the network is solid, we begin installing the core components of your system.

This may include:

• Smart lighting switches and dimmers

• Thermostats

• Door locks

• Cameras and sensors

• Touchscreens and keypads

• Audio and video equipment

• Rack‑mounted hardware

Everything is installed cleanly, professionally, and with long‑term maintenance in mind.

4. System Integration & Programming

This is where your smart home comes to life.

We integrate your devices into a unified platform such as:

• Crestron

• Control4

• Josh AI

• Alexa

• Google Home

Then we program:

• Scenes

• Automations

• Schedules

• Voice commands

• App controls

• Security settings

Your home becomes intuitive and effortless to use.

5. Testing Every Device & Automation

Before we leave, we test:

• Every switch

• Every scene

• Every audio zone

• Every camera

• Every lock

• Every automation

• Every app control

We make sure everything works exactly the way it should — consistently and reliably.

6. A Full Walkthrough & Training Session

We show you how to use your system in a way that’s simple and stress‑free.

You’ll learn:

• How to control your home from your phone

• How to use voice commands

• How to activate scenes

• How to adjust settings

• How to manage security features

We make sure you feel confident and comfortable before we wrap up.
