Hey all,

Im constructing a new home in sort of a remote mountainous area. Its a small one bedroom cabin, nothing crazy. Im about to start plumbing but am planning on electrical.

If you were going to incorporate HA into a new build what would you do?

Im not super familiar with HA but would love to incorporate it in now. Should i be installing all smart switches? Smart outlets? Are there really worthwhile sensors I should be installing now before drywall etc?

Thanks

    1. Network cables everywhere. Way easier to do that before drywalling if that’s something you want.
    2. Neutrals in your switch boxes will make smart switches easier later. Though I heard that might be a code requirement for new construction anyway?
    3. Also heard oversize switch boxes are a thing, which will also make smart switches easier later (assuming price difference is negligible).
