Choose your first category around the questions and installation work your team can handle, rather than the largest advertised assortment.
Locks attract clear questions about entry, credentials and door fit. Lighting introduces wiring and load compatibility. Curtain motors require rail and fabric assessment. Each can be a useful retail category, but each creates a different kind of pre-sale conversation and follow-up work.
Try explaining one candidate product to someone unfamiliar with smart homes. Can the salesperson identify the missing hub, describe manual operation and recognise a job that needs another trade? If not, adding more models will multiply uncertainty rather than improve the offer.
Keep the other categories available through a quotation or referral process while you learn. Review the actual questions that consume staff time before expanding stock. A specialist range with clear installation boundaries can feel more credible than a broad range supported by vague promises.
Before you order
- Match the category to staff experience.
- Write a category-specific intake checklist.
- Identify installation and support partners before launch.
A useful next step
