Cost Guide
Smart Home Installation Costs on the Gold Coast & Brisbane (2026)
A plain-English guide to what a smart home actually costs in South East Queensland — our real prices, what changes the final figure, and how payment works. No vague ranges, no surprises.
How much does a smart home installation cost?
Most homes fit one of three fixed tiers. Each covers labour and setup — hardware is quoted separately after a free consultation, so you only pay for the devices your home actually needs.
Full Smart Home
$600–$1,200
Whole-home lighting, security, climate, and access with custom automations.
Security-Hardened Smart Home
$800–$1,500
Everything in Full, plus a segmented, privacy-conscious network setup.
What does each smart home service cost?
Prefer to build your own package? Start with the $180 base setup fee, then add only the modules your home needs:
Smart lighting
from $90 per zone
Security camera
from $80 each
Door/window sensor
from $40 each
Smart lock
from $150 each
Climate control
from $110 per zone
Voice assistant integration
from $60 each
Extra Wi-Fi access point
from $120 each
Automation scene
from $30 each
What changes the final price?
The size and layout of your home. A single-level three-bedroom home needs fewer access points and less setup time than a two-storey home with a garage and outdoor areas to cover.
How much you want automated. A few lighting scenes cost less than whole-home lighting, security, climate and access working together.
Your existing network. If your Wi-Fi already reaches every room reliably, there's less foundation work to do. If it doesn't, the network comes first — everything else depends on it.
Travel. Homes within about 30km of our Ormeau base are free to reach. Beyond that, a flat $20 travel fee applies.
Hardware. Our prices are labour and setup only. Devices are quoted separately after your consultation, at whatever the hardware actually costs — we don't mark it up.
How does payment work?
A 50% deposit books your work in, and the balance is due on completion. Paying the deposit online is optional — and takes 25% off the deposit (not the whole job). Example: a $1,000 job is $850 with the 15% founding offer (until 30 October 2026). The 50% deposit is $425, and paying that online takes it to $318.75.
