Introducing the Intelligent Living Pricing Calculator

Understanding the cost of a connected home shouldn’t require weeks of proposals and guesswork.

Our new Intelligent Living Pricing Calculator is designed to give you a clear, personalized estimate in minutes—based on how you actually plan to live in your home.

No product lists. No technical deep dives. Just a practical starting point you can use to make informed decisions.

Why We Built It

Smart home pricing is often unclear because every system is custom. Hardware, wiring, programming, and installation all vary—often across dozens of products and brands.

We built this tool to simplify that reality.

It translates a complex system into a clear, category-based view so you can understand what matters, what it costs, and how to plan for it.

How It Works

The calculator starts with a few high-level inputs:

  • Square footage and layout

  • New construction or retrofit

  • A simple room or zone count

From there, you select the areas that matter most:

  • WiFi & network

  • Audio / video

  • Lighting control

  • Motorized shades

  • Security

Each category includes simple scope options—from basic coverage to more comprehensive, whole-home systems.

The result is a clear estimate, broken down by category, with a realistic installed range.

What You’ll See

Instead of a single number, you’ll get a structured view of your system:

  • WiFi / network backbone

  • Entertainment (audio & video)

  • Lighting control

  • Shades

  • Security

Along with:

  • A total estimated range

  • Optional ongoing costs (where relevant)

  • A visual breakdown of where your budget is allocated

This makes it easy to adjust your priorities and see how decisions impact the overall investment.

Built for Real-World Planning

This isn’t a configurator. It’s a planning tool.

It accounts for how systems actually come together:

  • Shared infrastructure across categories

  • Coordination between lighting, shades, and security

  • The impact of early decisions on long-term performance

You can also explore phased approaches—starting with core systems now and expanding later without rework.

Designed Around Simplicity

The goal is not precision down to the last device.

The goal is clarity.

  • No product selection required

  • No technical knowledge needed

  • No waiting for proposals

Just a practical, informed starting point.

A Better First Step

If you’re planning a new build or evaluating an upgrade, this tool helps you move forward with confidence.

It gives you a realistic range, a clear structure, and a better understanding of what goes into a reliable system.

From there, our team can refine the details, coordinate with your project, and build something designed to work—and to be supported long-term.
