Ready to turn your home into a smart masterpiece? Whether you’re upgrading a single room or diving into a full renovation, planning your Smart Home Project is simpler than you think. Here’s your go-to guide to get started—and how to pick the perfect gear from www.wifi-smart-home.co.uk.

Decoding the Smart Home Lingo

Smart home tech comes with its own vocabulary, but don’t sweat it—we’ll break it down for you. Here’s what you need to know before grabbing those Wi-Fi Smart Switches or Zigbee devices:

• Gangs: The number of lighting circuits a switch controls. A 3-gang switch? That’s three lights, each with its own on/off—great for multi-zone setups.
• 2-Way, Intermediate, Multi-Way: Picture this: one light, two switches (like at the top and bottom of stairs)—that’s 2-way switching. Add a third switch, and the middle one’s an intermediate. Our switches handle it all.
• Single vs. Double (or Twin): This is about wall box size. UK standards are 86mm x 86mm (single) or 86mm x 146mm (double). Check yours before upgrading.
• Neutral or No Neutral: Some smart switches need a neutral wire in the wall box; others don’t. Homes built post-2010 usually have neutrals—key info for picking Wi-Fi Smart Switches.
• Zigbee: A smart tech that pairs devices via a hub (yep, we sell those too—find them here. Unlike our hub-free Wi-Fi Smart Switches, Zigbee offers another way to connect your gadgets.
• HomeKit: Apple’s smart home platform. Our Wi-Fi Smart Switches aren’t HomeKit-compatible, but we’ve got HomeKit options here.

Know these terms, and you’ll shop with confidence.

Choosing the Perfect Wi-Fi Smart Switches

Our Wi-Fi Smart Switches—Pure Glass, Prestige, and Prestige Pro—make upgrading a snap. Designed to replace your current switches, they’re multi-way ready (think 2-way or intermediate) and work with or without a neutral wire. No rewiring headaches here!

One note: Wi-Fi Smart Dimmers do need a neutral connection—no "no neutral" option exists. Want more? Dive into our Wi-Fi Smart Dimmer blog here.

Picking Wi-Fi Smart Sockets

Why stop at switches? Our Wi-Fi Smart Sockets bring flair and function to your outlets. Pair them with standard sockets for a budget-friendly mix, or upgrade with USB and Super Fast USB-C options—no more charger clutter!

They’re a direct swap for standard sockets—just ensure your back box is 30mm deep. A stylish finish to any Smart Home Project.

Smart Heating Controls: Stay Warm, Save Smart

Control your heating like a pro with our Wi-Fi Smart Thermostats from the Pure Glass range. They tackle electric heating, water systems, and boilers with ease. For high-power needs, our 20amp and 45amp Smart Spur Switches manage immersion heaters or electric AGA ovens.

The 45amp version even tracks energy use—perfect for saunas or cost-conscious households.

Zigbee Devices: Another Smart Option

Prefer a hub-based setup? We’ve got Zigbee devices too! These pair through a separate hub for a different flavor of smart control. Check out our Zigbee range here to see if it’s the right fit for your project—complementing our Wi-Fi Smart Switches perfectly.

Connecting It All with SmartLife

Our Wi-Fi Smart Switches, Sockets, and heating controls sync effortlessly with the free SmartLife app (grab it on App Store or Google Play—no subscriptions!). No hubs needed—just a straight Wi-Fi connection.

With SmartLife, you can:

• Set schedules (lights on at sunset? Yes, please!).
• Craft automation routines or lighting scenes.
• Control devices from anywhere with internet access.

Add Alexa or Google Home integration, and you’re saying, “Hey Alexa, crank up the heat!” in no time.
