At Onsmart Living, we believe that smart living should be accessible, intuitive, and seamlessly integrated into everyday routines without breaking the bank.
In this case study, we follow a homeowner who transformed his home into a fully connected smart space with just $2,000 SGD, or 3% of his total renovation budget.
The Client:
Budget-conscious but quality-driven, he wanted a smart home setup for 1 room flat that would enhance convenience, improve security, and automate daily routines — all while staying within a reasonable cost.
Smart Features Implemented
Smart Doorbell for Instant Communication
Edmund’s smart doorbell connects to his home Wi-Fi, allowing him to see and speak with visitors at the door through either his smart panel or smartphone — even when he’s away.
Key Benefits:
Real-time video communication
Remote access via mobile app
Enhanced security and peace of mind
Smart Door Lock with Multiple Access Methods
With a smart door lock installed at the main entrance, Edmund no longer worries about forgetting his keys. His door can be unlocked using:
PIN code
Fingerprint
RFID card
Traditional physical key (used only in emergencies)
Result: Simplified entry for every household member, without compromising security.
Personalized Smart Scenes for Daily Routines
1.Welcome Home Scene
As soon as Edmund opens the door, his preset "Welcome Home" scene is triggered:
Hallway lights turn on automatically
Blinds open to let natural light in
2.Leave Home Scene
When Edmund leaves and locks the door:
All lights turn off automatically
Blinds are lowered for privacy and energy efficiency
3.Good Night Scene
At bedtime, Edmund activates the "Good Night" scene:
Lights dim to a comfortable level
Blinds are lowered
Air conditioning turns on automatically
These scenes simplify his day and create the perfect environment with minimal effort.
The Outcome: Smart Living at a Smart Price
Edmund’s entire smart home setup from the doorbell and lock to lighting, blinds, and air conditioning control was achieved for just $2,000 SGD. That’s only 3% of his total renovation cost. He now enjoys:
Seamless automation
Improved security
Daily convenience through personalized smart scenes
Remote control and monitoring via smartphone
Conclusion:
This case study highlights how smart technology, when implemented strategically, can deliver a high level of comfort, control, and security — even on a modest budget.
