Frequently asked questions

How do I get started easily with a smart home?▾

The easiest entry point is smart bulbs or smart plugs – both can be installed without electrician skills and controlled via an app. Paulmann and Eglo offer smart lighting solutions that are compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit.

Which electrical installation material meets Swiss standards?▾

For electrical installations in Switzerland, the material must comply with NIV/NIN standards. Legrand offers professional installation material that is approved for the Swiss market and used by qualified electricians and trade businesses.

What do I need for my own solar system with energy storage?▾

For your own solar system you need solar panels, an inverter and a battery storage unit. Victron offers high-quality inverters and energy management systems – proven for off-grid applications and larger home batteries.

What smart lighting is suitable for living spaces?▾

For living spaces, dimmable LED spotlights, smart pendant lights and light strips from Paulmann or Eglo are ideal – adjustable in various light colours and controllable via app or voice control.

Are smart home products suitable as a gift?▾

Yes, smart bulbs, smart plugs or decorative LED light chains from Star Trading are popular gift ideas for tech-savvy adults who want to make their home smarter and more energy-efficient.

What should I look for with electrical installation material?▾

When buying, it pays to check Swiss standards compliance, protection class (IP rating) and system compatibility. In Switzerland, installation work behind the flush-mounted socket may only be carried out by licensed electricians.

What is the difference between smart bulbs and smart plugs?▾

Smart bulbs from Paulmann and Eglo replace classic light bulbs and let you control brightness and colour temperature, while smart plugs let you switch any connected device via app or timer. Both are equally good entry points – they are often combined.

How big should a home battery storage system be?▾

The right storage size depends on daily electricity consumption and the size of the solar system – Victron systems can be expanded modularly, so capacity can be adjusted step by step to meet demand. For precise sizing, consulting a specialist is recommended.

Are smart plugs also compatible with older devices?▾

Yes, smart plugs work with almost any device that has a standard mains plug – including older lamps, fans or coffee machines. This makes it easy to integrate non-smart devices into a smart home.
