Before buying, check real compatibility
Check protocol, controller, internet dependence and manual fallback before buying smart home devices or adding them to an existing system.
A "smart" label on two devices does not mean they work together. Start from the function, then each exact model, protocol, controller and manufacturer-supported integration.
- Exact models
- Controller
- Local or cloud
- Handover test
Checklist
- Manufacturer, exact model and function.
- Protocol and required controller.
- What works if the internet drops?
- Manual control and subscriptions.
- Test every function at handover.
