Is Installation Expensive or Complicated?
Not necessarily. Many smart control panels today are designed for easy wall mounting and support standard wall box sizes (like UK 86 and EU types). Devices like Portworld’s YC-L76 offer both PoE and DC input, simplifying cabling by combining power and data in one line.
If retrofitting an existing home, costs may include:
Cutting and mounting the panel on the wall
Routing power and network cables
Basic configuration or integration with existing systems
However, most professional installers can complete the setup in under an hour, especially with clear documentation and modular mounting brackets included—standard practice with Portworld’s product kits.
