Top Home Automation and Security related questions

The cost of installing home automation and smart home systems varies based on several factors, including the scope of the installation, the type and brand of smart devices, the location of your household, and your Tasker’s experience. As a general guide, you can expect to pay around $2,999 for a basic system that includes approximately six smart light switches and a smart app for control. If the system covers integrated system control and smart bulbs, prices start at $3,999. For a more advanced system with multiple smart devices and advanced control features, costs can range from $8,000 to $25,000. To get a precise estimate, request a detailed quote from your Tasker.

Home automation technology is designed to improve daily life. These systems are integrated into home appliances and furnishings, allowing fixtures like lighting, curtains, and thermostats to operate automatically based on your preferences. This enables remote monitoring and management of your home via smartphone or another device, offering you complete control over household equipment regardless of where you are.

It's optional. The tools and equipment required depend on the type of home automation and security service you need. While most smart home companies provide the necessary devices, some services may require third-party applications or controllers, such as your phone or tablet. On the other hand, some Taskers may also request tools like screwdrivers, pliers, wire cutters, and voltage testers for safety purposes. 

Absolutely! Many home automation and security systems can enhance the efficiency and value of existing or older houses. Often, all you need is a stable network connection and a smartphone to access and control your smart home system. If you're concerned about the hassle of rewiring and retrofitting, request your Tasker to install wireless home automation devices that run on batteries.

The duration varies based on the items you want to automate and the scope of the installation. Installing smart lights in a single room might only take a few hours while automating the entire house will take longer. Comprehensive smart home installations, involving nearly every system in your home, typically take one to three weeks. This timeframe can be extended further if the service requires detailed planning and setup by a professional. You can request a more accurate timeline from your Tasker.

Yes! Specify this detail on your Airtasker listing to get in touch with qualified specialists who can integrate your home automation system with your solar panels. This integration ensures that your smart lights, sensors, and other automated devices use minimal energy. For example, you can set automated dishwashers or washing machines to operate only when solar energy is abundant. If you need assistance installing your solar panels, Taskers can help with this as well, as a separate service.

Airtasker prioritises transparency to help you find the most suitable Tasker for your project. Evaluate a Tasker's qualifications and the quality of their previous work using the platform’s built-in reviews and rating system. This way, you can make an informed decision based on the experiences of other clients.

What do home automation services include?


Take control of your appliances, curtains, lighting, and other fixtures without putting in unnecessary, extra effort. With home automation and smart home systems, you can turn on the lights or adjust the indoor temperature through your smartphone or even voice activation! 


If you want to implement this upgrade but don’t know where to start, specialists on Airtasker can design and install automation systems throughout your home. Most automation systems now rely on WiFi, so if you've recently moved or are dealing with dead zones in your home's WiFi coverage, enlist a Tasker to get your network up and running.

Planning to book automated home services soon? Here's what you can request:

Home lighting automation

The first step to building a smart home is often through lighting automation technology. Nowadays, you have many options to consider. You can connect your lighting system to your phone, laptop, or any third-party mobile device for remote control, opt for motion-sensor lights, or even request voice-activated lighting. Whatever type of smart lighting you prefer and whichever part of the home you think they’d be suitable for, count on Taskers to know the best approach for installation.


Curtain and blinds automation

Whether you have restricted mobility or are simply tired of manually controlling your curtains and blinds, specialists can install motorised tracks you can operate via remote control or pair with a WiFi controller. If your window treatments aren't yet in place, you can hire a Tasker to fit your curtains or blinds, install curtain rods, or even put up outdoor blinds for your home.


Thermostat automation

Improve the efficiency of your HVAC systems with smart, automated thermostats. Beyond regular scheduling, these systems let you control your home heating and cooling equipment remotely, even when you’re away at work or out of town. Enjoy reduced electricity bills and carbon footprint! If you need help choosing an automated thermostat that best complements your HVAC system, your specialist will guide you through the purchasing process. 


Home security services automation

Maximise the benefits of the latest technologies to improve your home automation and security. Whether you want to install advanced CCTV cameras around the house, fix a burglar alarm, or even connect your security system to your smartphone, you can find home security installers near you on Airtasker. With the right security system and alarm servicing, you won't have to worry about intruders, even if you accidentally leave your door open when you're away.


Automation system maintenance and repair

Smart homes don’t maintain themselves. Make sure your system remains secure and robust by getting it regularly checked by the experts. Experiencing glitches with your home automation? Avoid the risk of having to replace the entire system by having a specialist apply repairs as soon as possible. Regular maintenance not only extends the lifespan of your smart home devices but also prevents minor problems from escalating into major inconveniences. If the issue lies in your home network, you can also book a Tasker to troubleshoot this for you.

Home Security Alarm System Installation

$88

Mount Gravatt East QLD 4122, Australia

18th Aug 2026

Hi there! I am looking for a reliable, licensed security expert to recommend and install a home security alarm system in my 3-level townhouse. The coverage must include the main door and all windows on the ground floor, as well as the four windows on level 1. The system needs to trigger automatically with a highly audible alarm to alert everyone inside and effectively deter any unauthorized access attempts. I have not purchased the hardware yet, so I am looking for your top recommendations for a high-performing system. Please ensure your offer reflects the total, fixed price for the complete installation labor, as partial quotes, hourly rates, or cash payments are not supported on this platform. Once you provide your equipment recommendation and we agree on the system, I will purchase the hardware and we will use your finalized offer amount for the complete installation scope, with all payments held securely through Airtasker Pay. I need the security system to include both local and mobile alerts. Specifically, in the event of an unauthorized access attempt, the system should trigger a loud on-site alarm and simultaneously send an instant notification to my mobile app. Thanks,
