Why Singapore homeowners choose Home-A-Genius
Home-A-Genius is Singapore's specialist smart home integrator, built around a local hub that runs every automation inside the home rather than on a cloud server. Unlike plug-and-play consumer kits, we handle the whole job: design, professional installation and ongoing support for HDB BTOs, resale flats, condominiums and landed homes. The system runs on Zigbee 3.0 and brings multiple brands into a single app, including Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric air conditioning, Samsung and LG televisions, Dyson fans, Somfy and A-OK motorised curtains, and HikVision cameras and video intercoms. From smart switches and lighting through curtains, climate, networking and security, every system is modular and can be expanded later.
The difference that actually matters
What happens when things go wrong?
Every smart home looks the same in the showroom. Pick a scenario and see how the three approaches behave in real life.
Home-A-Genius
Local hub
Everything still works
Your switches, sensors, scenes and schedules run off the hub sitting in your DB box. Losing the internet only means you can't check in from the office.
Cloud-based systems
Half the house stops
Commands travel to an overseas server and back. No connection, no round trip — lights, aircon and curtains fall back to manual.
DIY, box by box
It works, if you built it right
A self-hosted setup can run locally. Whether yours does depends on choices you made months ago, and you find out during the outage.
How it works
Four steps, one point of contact
We coordinate with your ID and electrician directly, so you're not the one relaying messages between trades.
01
Consult
45 minutes in the showroom or on site. We look at your floor plan, your routine, and your budget — and tell you what's worth doing.
Free · no obligation
02
Design
A room-by-room plan: what goes where, which circuits need changing, and the automations that will run without you.
Drawings your electrician can work from
03
Install
We schedule around your renovation, coordinate directly with your ID and electrician, and commission everything on site.
Typically 1–3 days
04
Live with it
A walkthrough with everyone in the household, then a tune-up after a month once you know what you actually use.
Lifetime remote support included
The Hub
The whole house on one admin page
No spaghetti automations, no second app for the devices that didn't fit. Rooms, scenes and routines are built visually, stored on the hub, and run whether or not anyone is home.
Rooms, scenes and routines built visually. No scripting, no second app.
Smart floor plan
A live top-down view showing which rooms are on, right now.
Activity history
Doors, lights and timings, logged on the hub. A time machine for the house.
Voice, hands-free
Google, Alexa and Sonos feedback in every room that needs it.
Remote access
Check in from anywhere, without handing your data to a platform.
Reports & analytics
Room usage and energy patterns, so you can tune what's actually used.
The Smart Floor Plan
Your whole home, on one screen
This is the part people actually use. Not a list of devices with cryptic names — a live top-down plan of your own home, drawn to your layout, showing exactly what is on and what is off. Tap a room to change it. Run a scene and watch the house respond.
It is the difference between operating a smart home and simply looking at one. Try it — this is a real 4-room layout.
✓Drawn to your actual layout, not a generic template
✓Shows live state — no guessing whether the kitchen light is still on
The most common smart home complaint online is devices randomly dropping offline — and it is almost always the network, not the devices. We are a dedicated networking team, not an IT shop bolting on Wi-Fi. We model coverage before install.
The heatmap is a real odd-shaped 5-room corner unit — the hardest kind to plan. The fibre point sits by the entrance, so a single router leaves the far bedrooms cold. Switch between before and after.
✓Coverage planned from your floor plan, not guessed after the fact
✓Access point positions and cabling agreed with your ID before ceilings close
✓Omada across floors, with a separate network for smart devices
✓One team responsible for both the network and the home that runs on it
Every price below includes the hardware, the design, the installation, the programming, lifetime remote support — and GST. Nothing is quoted separately later.
All prices shown include GST at 9%. A full itemised hardware list comes with your quotation, and we size the switch count to your actual floor plan at the consultation, so nobody pays for points they don't have.
Warranty covers parts and labour: two years on neutral-wire switches, one year on non-neutral. Hub PRO upgrade available on Supreme, add S$165 including GST.
Yes, we cost more than a box of switches.
A basic hardware seller charges a few hundred dollars to mount devices and hand you an app. What you're paying us for is the part that comes after: the electrical planning before your ID closes up the ceiling, the automation design that means you never open the app, and someone who picks up the phone in year three. Roughly one in three of our installs is a rescue job on someone else's.

Every complaint owners have, sized by how often they have it.
Devices randomly drop offline
Lighting and sensors run on a Zigbee mesh — every mains-powered device relays for its neighbours. Wi-Fi keeps only what genuinely needs it.

It stops working without internet
Your rules sit on a hub in your home. A dropped line means you can't check in from the office — it doesn't mean the lights stop.

Nothing here depends on our continued existence. If we vanished tomorrow, your home would run exactly as programmed.

Every tile on this map is something we engineer out — local-first hub, Zigbee mesh, cross-brand integration, one app, and a tuning visit a month after install.

Smart Lighting for Smarter Homes
Tunable white shifts your lighting from warm evening amber to daylight-clear, and back again on a schedule you never have to think about. Try it.
Cost, what happens without internet, and whether it works with what you already own.
How much does a smart home cost in Singapore?
A complete Home-A-Genius system starts at S$4,150 including GST for a 3-room HDB, fully installed. A 4-room flat is S$4,550 and a 5-room or larger condo is S$5,200. Landed homes with full integration across aircon, curtains, security and networking run higher, quoted after a site visit. Every price includes hardware, design, installation, programming and lifetime remote support.
Does the smart home still work without internet?
Yes. Everything runs on a hub inside your home, so switches, lights, sensors, scenes and schedules keep working with the router unplugged. Cloud-dependent systems send every command to an overseas server and back, which is why they fall over during an outage. What you lose here is remote access and voice control, not the house itself.
What brands and devices can Home-A-Genius integrate?
Daikin iSmile and Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners integrate deeply, with temperature, fan, swing and two-way feedback. We also handle smart televisions, Dyson purifier fans, Somfy and A-OK motorised curtains, and video door cameras. Switches, lights and sensors run on Zigbee 3.0. Almost anything else joins through Virtual Integration if it already works with a major voice assistant.
Does it work in an HDB BTO flat?
Yes, and most of our installs are HDB. BTOs, resale flats, condominiums and landed homes are all supported, and the vast majority need no hacking or rewiring. Where a wall box has no neutral wire, which is common in older flats, we use wireless switches that bind to the circuit instead. We coordinate with your interior designer and electrician before the ceilings close.
What makes Home-A-Genius different from other smart home companies in Singapore?
Three things. The automation runs on a hub in your own home rather than a cloud server, so nothing stops working if a connection drops or a vendor closes. We do the whole job, from electrical planning through installation to support in year three, not just the hardware. And we bring different brands into one app instead of locking you into a single ecosystem.
Can I control my Daikin aircon with a smart home system?
Yes. Daikin iSmile units with built-in Wi-Fi get full deep integration: power, temperature, fan speed, horizontal and vertical swing, dry mode and the Streamer function, with the app showing the unit true state rather than the last command sent. Non-iSmile Daikin models use a local infrared blaster for on, off and temperature. Neither route needs an internet connection.
