If you are looking for Home Assistant Singapore pricing, the cost depends on three separate parts: the consultation fee, the installation and integration labor, and the hardware you buy. Home Assistant itself is open-source and free to use, so you do not pay for the software. Our typical rates are S$50 per device for installation and S$40 per device for integration, both before GST. For HDB and condo projects, the paid consultation fee is S$500; for landed, shophouse, and commercial projects, it is S$1,000. We do not provide the hardware; you usually buy devices like sensors, switches, or hubs from retailers like Shopee, and we handle the setup.
What Is Included in the Price
It is important to separate the cost of the system from the cost of the service. Many homeowners assume that a "smart home package" includes the devices, but our model is different. We are a consultant and installer.
- Software Cost: Home Assistant is an open-source platform. There is no license fee, no monthly subscription, and no cloud subscription required for the core hub. This is a major advantage over closed ecosystems that may lock you into ongoing service fees.
- Hardware Cost: You purchase the physical devices—such as Aqara sensors, Smart Life bulbs, or Broadlink remotes. We recommend specific models that work well with Home Assistant, but you buy them. This gives you flexibility to choose brands and models that fit your budget and aesthetic preferences.
- Service Cost: This is what we charge for. It covers the time spent planning the layout, wiring (if applicable), installing the devices, and integrating them into the Home Assistant dashboard so they work together.
Breakdown of Our Typical Rates
Our pricing is transparent and based on the scope of work. Here are the typical rates we use for residential projects in Singapore. All prices are quoted before GST.
Consultation Fee
Before we can give you an accurate quote for installation, we need to understand your home layout and requirements. * HDB and Condo: S$500 * Landed, Shophouse, and Commercial: S$1,000
This fee covers the initial deep-dive discussion, layout planning, and device selection advice. It is not a "free estimate"; it is a professional service to ensure the system is designed correctly for your space.
Per-Device Rates
Once the design is approved, we charge per device for the physical work and digital setup. * Installation: S$50 per device. This covers the physical mounting, wiring (if required), and testing of the device. * Integration: S$40 per device. This covers configuring the device within Home Assistant, setting up automations, and ensuring it communicates correctly with the rest of your system.
For example, if you want to install 5 smart switches and 3 motion sensors, the labor cost would be calculated based on those 8 devices. The hardware cost is separate and depends on the specific models you choose.
KNX Projects
If you are building a high-end landed home or a commercial space using KNX (a wired standard), the project scope is much larger. KNX projects typically cost more than S$50,000 before GST, depending on the number of rooms and devices. This includes complex wiring, bus configuration, and advanced integration. We handle these projects from the planning stage, working with your architect or interior designer to ensure the cabling is in place before walls close.
Why Home Assistant Is Worth the Investment
You might wonder why you should pay for installation if the software is free. The value is in the reliability and customization.
- Local Control: Home Assistant runs locally on your network. If your internet goes down, your lights, locks, and sensors still work. Cloud-based systems often fail without an internet connection.
- No Lock-in: Because it is open-source, you are not tied to one manufacturer. You can mix Aqara sensors with Smart Life bulbs and Broadlink remotes. They all talk to the same hub.
- Automation: You can create complex scenarios, like "Good Night Mode," which turns off all lights, locks the doors, and adjusts the aircon temperature. Setting this up correctly requires knowledge of YAML or the Home Assistant UI, which is where our integration service adds value.
How to Get a Quote
We do not provide generic price lists because every home is different. A 2-room HDB flat has different needs than a 5-room BTO or a landed house.
- Start with a Chat: You can WhatsApp us for general questions about what we do, which ecosystems we support, and how the process works. This is free.
- Book a Consultation: For project-specific advice, such as how many devices you need for your layout, you will need to book the paid consultation. This ensures we give you a tailored plan, not a guess.
- Get a Formal Quote: After the consultation, we will provide a detailed quotation based on the device count and scope of work.

FAQ
Is Home Assistant free to use? Yes. Home Assistant is open-source software. You do not pay for the software license or a monthly subscription to use the core features. You only pay for the hardware (devices) and our installation/integration services.
Do you provide the smart home devices? No, we usually do not provide the hardware. We recommend specific models that are compatible with Home Assistant, and you purchase them from retailers like Shopee or Lazada. This allows you to choose brands and prices that suit your budget.
What is the difference between installation and integration fees? Installation is the physical work: mounting the device, wiring it, and testing the power. Integration is the digital work: configuring the device in Home Assistant, setting up automations, and ensuring it works with your other devices. We charge S$50 per device for installation and S$40 per device for integration, before GST.
Can I install Home Assistant myself? You can, if you are technical. However, Home Assistant requires a local server (like a Raspberry Pi or a mini PC), network configuration, and careful setup to ensure stability. If you want a reliable, professional setup that works seamlessly with your existing WiFi and devices, our service ensures everything is configured correctly.
How long does installation take? For cloud-based ecosystems like Aqara or Smart Life, installation and integration typically take a single day. For KNX projects, the timeline depends on the scope of work and the stage of your renovation, as it requires planning and layout drawing early in the project.

新加坡 Home Assistant 安装价格
如果您正在寻找新加坡 Home Assistant 的价格,成本主要取决于三个部分:咨询费、安装与整合人工费,以及您购买的硬件。Home Assistant 本身是开源的,使用免费,因此您无需支付软件费用。我们的典型费率为每台设备安装费 S$50,整合费 S$40,均不含 GST。对于 HDB 和公寓项目,付费咨询费为 S$500;对于独立式洋房、店屋和商业项目,咨询费为 S$1,000。我们不提供硬件;您通常从 Shopee 等零售商购买传感器、开关或中枢等设备,我们负责设置。
价格包含什么
将系统成本与服务成本分开很重要。许多业主假设“智能家居套餐”包含设备,但我们的模式不同。我们是顾问和安装商。
- 软件成本: Home Assistant 是一个开源平台。没有许可证费、没有月度订阅费,核心中枢也不需要云订阅。这是相比可能将您锁定在持续服务费中的封闭生态系统的一个主要优势。
- 硬件成本: 您购买物理设备——例如 Aqara 传感器、Smart Life 灯泡或 Broadlink 遥控器。我们推荐与 Home Assistant 配合良好的特定型号,但由您购买。这让您有灵活性选择符合您预算和审美偏好的品牌和型号。
- 服务成本: 这是我们收费的部分。它涵盖布局规划、布线(如适用)、设备安装以及将它们整合到 Home Assistant 仪表板中以便它们协同工作所花费的时间。
我们的典型费率分解
我们的定价透明,基于工作范围。以下是我们在新加坡住宅项目中使用的典型费率。所有价格均不含 GST。
咨询费
在我们为您提供准确的安装报价之前,我们需要了解您的家庭布局和需求。 * HDB 和公寓: S$500 * 独立式洋房、店屋和商业: S$1,000
这笔费用涵盖最初的深入讨论、布局规划和设备选择建议。这不是“免费估算”;这是一项专业服务,以确保系统为您的空间正确设计。
每台设备费率
设计获批后,我们按设备收取物理工作和数字设置的费用。 * 安装: 每台设备 S$50。这涵盖设备的物理安装、布线(如需要)和测试。 * 整合: 每台设备 S$40。这涵盖在 Home Assistant 中配置设备、设置自动化,并确保它与系统其余部分正确通信。
例如,如果您想安装 5 个智能开关和 3 个运动传感器,人工成本将基于这 8 个设备计算。硬件成本是分开的,取决于您选择的具体型号。
KNX 项目
如果您正在使用 KNX(一种有线标准)建造高端独立式洋房或商业空间,项目范围要大得多。KNX 项目的典型成本超过 S$50,000(不含 GST),具体取决于房间数量和设备数量。这包括复杂的布线、总线配置和高级整合。我们从规划阶段开始处理这些项目,与您的建筑师或室内设计师合作,确保在墙体封闭前布线到位。
为什么 Home Assistant 值得投资
您可能想知道,如果软件是免费的,为什么要为安装付费。价值在于可靠性和定制性。
- 本地控制: Home Assistant 在您的本地网络上运行。如果互联网中断,您的灯光、门锁和传感器仍会工作。基于云的系统通常在没有互联网连接时会失效。
- 无锁定: 由于它是开源的,您不受限于一个制造商。您可以混合使用 Aqara 传感器、Smart Life 灯泡和 Broadlink 遥控器。它们都连接到同一个中枢。
- 自动化: 您可以创建复杂的场景,例如“晚安模式”,它会关闭所有灯光、锁上门并调整空调温度。正确设置这需要 YAML 或 Home Assistant UI 的知识,这正是我们的整合服务增加价值之处。
如何获取报价
我们不提供通用的价格表,因为每个家都不同。2 房 HDB 公寓的需求与 5 房 BTO 或独立式洋房不同。
- 从聊天开始: 您可以 WhatsApp 我们咨询关于我们做什么、支持哪些生态系统以及流程如何运作的普遍问题。这是免费的。
- 预约咨询: 对于项目特定的建议,例如您的布局需要多少设备,您需要预约付费咨询。这确保我们为您提供量身定制的计划,而不是猜测。
- 获取正式报价: 咨询后,我们将根据设备数量和工作范围提供详细报价。

常见问题
使用 Home Assistant 免费吗? 是的。Home Assistant 是开源软件。使用核心功能无需支付软件许可证费或月度订阅费。您只需为硬件(设备)和我们的安装/整合服务付费。
您提供智能家居设备吗? 不,我们通常不提供硬件。我们推荐与 Home Assistant 兼容的特定型号,您从 Shopee 或 Lazada 等零售商购买。这允许您选择符合您预算的品牌和价格。
安装费和整合费有什么区别? 安装是物理工作:安装设备、布线和测试电源。整合是数字工作:在 Home Assistant 中配置设备、设置自动化,并确保它与其他设备协同工作。我们每台设备收取 S$50 的安装费和 S$40 的整合费,不含 GST。
我可以自己安装 Home Assistant 吗? 如果您懂技术,可以。但是,Home Assistant 需要本地服务器(如 Raspberry Pi 或迷你 PC)、网络配置以及仔细的设置以确保稳定性。如果您希望获得可靠、专业的设置,使其与现有 WiFi 和设备无缝配合,我们的服务确保一切配置正确。
安装需要多长时间? 对于 Aqara 或 Smart Life 等基于云的生态系统,安装和整合通常只需一天。对于 KNX 项目,时间线取决于工作范围和您的翻新阶段,因为它需要在项目早期进行规划和布局绘图。
