The year is 2021. The whole world is slowly but surely moving towards a smarter way of living, using the latest technologies and devices.

Smart homes are all the rage in the technology industry, but many people feel that they are still too expensive to build their own. Well, I’m here to tell you that it is not that difficult and expensive to build your own smart house.

Here are my top 5 tips for building your own smart house.

1. Start small and simple

The first thing you need to do is decide what you want to achieve with your smart house. Do you want to have a house that can be controlled remotely via your mobile phone?

Or do you want a house that can control itself? Do you want to have a house that is connected to the internet?

These are the questions that you need to ask yourself. I say to start small because this will allow you to get used to the new technologies and see what works and what doesn’t.

You will have a chance to test and try different things and see which ones are useful in your day-to-day life.

2.  Think about the cost

The next thing you need to do is sit down and do a cost analysis, which will help you determine what you can do and stay within your budget. As I already said before, you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars building your own smart house.

There are many free plans available on the internet, or you can buy materials from a local hardware store. You can also do many things yourself, like making your own solar panels or installing LED lights.
