Why an independent expert

We select the system based on your needs, not our commission.

Most companies on the market sell only one system, and they will always recommend that one. We work with all major platforms and choose the one that truly makes sense.

Without vendor lock-in

We are not a distributor or installation partner of a single brand. We have no reason to push solutions that do not suit you.

5 platforms in one portfolio

Loxone, KNX, Home Assistant, Tuya, Apple HomeKit. We can combine them, integrate them and migrate between them.

Design according to budget

From 80,000 Kč for a smart flat to multi-million projects. We acknowledge the limits of individual systems.

Local versus cloud choice

We explain the differences in privacy, reliability and price. If you want everything local, we go with KNX or Home Assistant.

Integration of your existing equipment

Photovoltaics, heat pumps, recuperation, cameras, locks. We also integrate devices from different manufacturers.

Long-term support

We do not disappear once the job is done. Service, updates, extensions. Let IT Bee has been operating in Prague since 2011.

System Comparison

Five platforms: differences, advantages, ideal client

There is no such thing as a "universally best" smart home system. The choice depends on the property type, budget, privacy requirements and how much you want to modify the electrical installation.

FAQ

Most Frequent Client Questions

How much does a smart home cost?
The range is wide. A smart flat using wireless technology (Tuya, HomeKit) starts from around 30-90 thousand Kč. A wired solution in a new-build family home (Loxone, KNX) usually ranges between 250 thousand and 1.5 million Kč, depending on the scope. Commercial projects are priced individually. As part of our free consultation, we will provide you with a realistic budget before submitting a quote.
How long does the installation take?
We typically install wireless solutions in an occupied flat within 1-3 days. Wired systems in new builds are coordinated with the electrical installation and take 4-12 weeks from order to handover. Migration and integration projects take days to weeks.
Can a smart home be installed in an existing flat without breaking through walls?
Yes. For these cases we choose wireless systems, Tuya / Zigbee / Z-Wave under Home Assistant or Apple HomeKit. We replace switches with smart ones, add thermostatic radiator valves, switched sockets and sensors. Everything is fully reversible.
What if I want maximum privacy and independence from the cloud?
We then move to fully local solutions: KNX (bus system, no cloud), Home Assistant on your own mini-PC, or optionally Loxone (without cloud). In contrast, Tuya and partially HomeKit require the manufacturer's connection to the internet. We will explain the difference and recommend based on what is more important to you.
Is a smart home secure? Could someone "open my doors from the internet"?
If the system is installed professionally, it is safer than a typical household. We use a separate network (VLAN) for IoT devices, two-factor authentication, VPN for remote access and encrypted communication. The greatest risks arise from DIY installation purchased via e-shops. This is what we strive to correct.
What if the manufacturer stops supporting the system?
With open standards (KNX, Home Assistant, Matter), this is practically not a risk. For proprietary systems, we factor this into our recommendations by preferring manufacturers with a long history (Loxone 15+ years, KNX 30+ years). For higher-risk options, we select wireless solutions that can be easily replaced.
Can you connect photovoltaics, a heat pump and an EV charger?
Yes, integrating energy sources is one of the most requested services. We optimise consumption, charge EVs when the sun is shining, and control heat pumps based on PV system surplus and spot prices. We work with common brands (Fronius, SolarEdge, Victron, Huawei, Wallbox, Tesla, NIBE, Viessmann...).
How does service work after handover?
We offer either invoicing based on actual work (hourly rate + remote diagnostics) or a service agreement with guaranteed response times and regular updates. For large projects, the second option is standard. Details are agreed individually.
Do you also work outside Prague?
We primarily operate in Prague and the Central Bohemian Region. Larger projects are also carried out in other regions of the Czech Republic by individual agreement, while smaller installations are preferred within Prague to ensure faster service response.
