Smart Home for Condos in KL — Without Hacking Walls

Most smart home features can be added to a condo without hacking walls. Smart switches fit into the existing switch boxes, curtain motors mount where the old track was, and sensors and many cameras are wireless. DOMOS plans condo smart homes around your layout and your building's rules.

What you can install without hacking

Smart switches, motorised curtains, a smart door lock, air-conditioning control, door and window sensors, indoor cameras and smart plugs can all be installed in a typical KL condo with little or no hacking.

  • Smart switches replace your existing switches in the same wall boxes
  • Motorised curtains need a power point near the track — if there is none, a neat surface trunking is usually enough
  • Smart door lock on the main door, subject to your building's rules
  • Air-conditioning control from the app, in scenes and on schedules
  • Sensors and indoor cameras — wireless, mounted without cables
  • Smart plugs for water heaters, fans and lamps

Check with your management first

Some condos have rules on the look of the main door, renovation hours and contractor registration. Check your house rules before you start, and we will work within the management's renovation process.

A typical condo setup

  1. Living and dining

    Lighting scenes, motorised curtains and air-conditioning in one tap.

  2. Bedrooms

    A "goodnight" scene that switches off lights and closes the blinds; air-cond on a schedule.

  3. Main door

    Smart door lock with fingerprint, PIN or card, and a notification when it opens.

  4. Safety

    Smoke detector in the kitchen, a door sensor and an indoor camera you can check from anywhere.

Condo smart home questions

I am renting. Can I still have a smart home?

Yes. Smart plugs, smart bulbs, sensors and indoor cameras need no changes to the unit and can be taken with you when you move.

Will it work if the Wi-Fi in my unit is weak?

Zigbee devices form their own mesh network and talk to each other locally, so switches and scenes keep working even where Wi-Fi is weak or down.

How much does a condo smart home cost?

It depends on the number of rooms and functions. A condo usually needs fewer devices than a landed home. We give a written quote after a free site visit.
