A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.
Security updates
Makers of smart products sold in the UK must publish the minimum length of time they will provide security updates, with an end date. Check it before you choose devices.
Plan the cables early
If you want a home cinema or speakers in the walls, plan the cables before the rooms are decorated.
Wi-Fi where devices go
Check the Wi-Fi signal where each smart device will go. Weak spots may need a booster first.
