This Chic Prefab Is Now a Smart Home, Too

The design and construction group Plant Prefab, the creators of prefab accessory dwelling units (ADUs) including the Sunset BUD LivingHome, has a new feature coming to their homes: smarts.

Announced at Modernism Week, Plant Prefab’s ADUs will now come standard with a series of smart home devices, compatible with Amazon Alexa. All the devices will be set up and ready to activate once a Plant Prefab ADU is purchased, and homeowners will be shown how to use their devices by an Amazon Expert.

These Alexa-compatible smart home packages will allow ADU owners to control the temperature, Wi-Fi, lighting, and door locks. Each Plant Prefab LivingHome unit will come with two Amazon Echos, an Eero Mesh Wi-Fi router, a Ring Video Doorbell 2, a Schlage Encode Lock, an Ecobee Smart Thermostat, a Lutron Smart Bridge and Smart Dimmers, and Sense Energy Monitoring.

But, future ADU owners will also be able to choose to upgrade their future home’s smarts with three package options: Smart Entertainment, Smart Appliances, and Smart Security. 

Curious to see it in action? You can test out what your future ADU could look like at Plant Prefab’s building tool here, including your future smart home additions. The smart home features are available now, and pricing for the ADU homes starts at $154,000.
