Power

---

You should have all your devices connected to a battery backup with surge protection to protect your smart device(s) investment especially any high end computers or network equipment like routers or switches. 

It's great to have all the devices in your office smart and automated but there is one constant they all rely on...POWER! Setup a generator so if you lose power, you get to keep your lights on and all smart devices intact.

An alternative to a generator is a battery backup for the whole office. When storms strike or whatever might lead to a power outage, be prepared with backup power from your battery backup solution.
