Assess the villa
Every retrofit starts with a walk-through. We map wiring, evaluate the electrical panel, and note whether neutral is available at switch boxes — this drives the switch selection.
For older villas, expect a mix of neutral and no-neutral options; LifeSmart supports both.
Start with lighting
Smart lighting delivers the highest daily satisfaction per riyal spent. Replace wall switches room-by-room, add scene shortcuts, and configure schedules.
Add curtains and climate
Silent curtain motors and AC controllers turn the villa into a truly automated environment — waking scenes, evening scenes, and away-from-home energy saving.
Security last
Once the base is in place, layer smart locks, door/window sensors, motion sensors, and cameras for a complete peace-of-mind system.
Phase the investment
You don't have to do everything at once. Phase 1 lighting, Phase 2 climate/curtains, Phase 3 security — spreading spend while enjoying the benefits early.
