Home automation companies Dubai: how to find, check and compare them
To find a good home automation company in Dubai, start from the system you want, check each company's licence, brand authorisation and finished projects, and send every company the same written scope so the quotes can be compared line by line. RFQsNow does that last step for you: describe the project once and matched suppliers who work in Dubai send quotes back for you to compare.
This page covers villas and apartments as well as developer and fit-out projects. Homeowners can use the simple request form; project teams can post a full RFQ with a BOQ and drawings.
Where to find home automation companies in Dubai
Most people start with a search or a recommendation, and end up with a list of names that is hard to judge. A better starting point is the system itself. If you already know the brand you want, its own website usually lists authorised dealers. If the design is KNX, ask for KNX partner certification. If you have no preference yet, describe what you want controlled and let companies propose a system, but ask each one to explain why.
Your consultant, interior designer or main contractor may also have companies they have worked with. Treat those names the same way as any other: check them against the list below before you ask for a price.
Checklist: how to verify a home automation company
Before you accept a quote, confirm each of these in writing:
- A valid UAE trade licence that covers the work being quoted.
- Authorisation from the brand being quoted, or KNX partner certification for KNX work.
- Two or three finished projects of a similar size and type that you can ask about or visit.
- Who does the programming and commissioning: their own team, or a subcontractor.
- Written warranty terms for the equipment and for the programming.
- What support you get after handover, and how quickly someone responds.
- For CCTV and intercom parts of the scope, whether the company can meet SIRA requirements in Dubai.
How to get home automation quotes you can compare
Write the scope once
List what you want controlled, room by room: lighting, curtains and blinds, air conditioning, audio, intercom, CCTV. Add the property stage, new build or finished, and any brand you already want.
Send the same scope to each company
Every company should price the same list, with programming and commissioning on their own lines. If one company suggests a different brand, ask them to flag it rather than quietly swap it in.
Compare like for like
Line up the quotes by room and function, then check lead times, warranty and after-sales support. The cheapest total is only cheaper if it covers the same scope.
On RFQsNow the scope goes out once and comes back as bids on the same lines. Homeowners use the smart home quote request. Developers, contractors and consultants use the home automation RFQ workflow, which carries KNX topology, programming and commissioning scope. RFQs reach suppliers matched by category and location, each reviewed before they can see live RFQs, as set out in how supplier verification works.
Why this page does not list or rank companies
A ranked list cannot tell you which company suits your property, your system and your budget, and RFQsNow does not publish supplier names on public pages. Instead, the request goes to a small group of suppliers who work in Dubai and handle the systems you asked about. You see their quotes side by side and decide who to speak to.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a reliable home automation company in Dubai?
Start from the system you want rather than from a list of names. Most control brands list their authorised dealers on their own websites, and KNX installers can show KNX partner certification. Then check each company against the same points: trade licence, brand authorisation, similar finished projects, who does the programming, and what support you get after handover.
What should a home automation quote include?
Hardware by room or system, programming, commissioning and handover training as separate lines, the lead time for each main item, the warranty on equipment and on the programming, and what support is included after handover. A quote that gives one total for everything cannot be compared with another company’s quote.
Do I need a KNX certified installer?
If the system is KNX, yes, ask for it. KNX is an open standard, so the quality of the result depends on how it is designed and programmed, and certification is the simplest evidence that the installer has been trained on it. For proprietary systems, ask for the brand’s dealer authorisation instead.
How do I compare quotes from different home automation companies?
Send every company the same written scope and ask them to price it line by line in the same layout. Then compare like for like: the same rooms and functions, the same brands or flagged alternatives, and programming and commissioning priced on their own lines rather than folded into the hardware.
Does RFQsNow list home automation companies in Dubai?
No. RFQsNow does not publish supplier names on public pages. You describe the project once, the request is matched to suppliers who work in Dubai and handle the systems you asked about, and their quotes come back so you can compare them.
