Evaluate Network and Power Options

Depending on the setup, you may want:

  • PoE (Power over Ethernet): Simplifies installation with one cable for power + data

  • Wi-Fi/Bluetooth: Ideal for retrofit solutions or places where wiring is difficult

  • Ethernet: For stable and secure connections

Portworld’s PoE-enabled smart home control panels are particularly useful for new builds and commercial settings.

Consider User Interface and Customization

The best control panels let you tailor the user interface:

  • Personalized home screens

  • Scene shortcuts (e.g., “All Off,” “Romantic Lighting”)

  • Scheduling and automation triggers

  • Multilingual options

With Portworld, you get:

  • Full UI customization support

  • OEM/ODM options for branding

  • BSP/SDK development with support for C#/Python/Java
