Hardware Shopping Checklist

Lumi Nails & Med Spa · 2111 S Wabash · staged by priority, all Home-Assistant compatible
Who installs what: DIY you/staff plug & pair · HANDY a handyman (mounting, brackets — no license) · PRO licensed electrician / low-voltage / locksmith · † needs a small one-time HA automation. DEALER Hunter Douglas dealer measures & installs.
Money-saver baked in: WiFi cameras (handyman mounts, no cabling contractor). Prices are mid-2026 — verify at checkout.
Per your plans (Wallin Gomez A10/A40): 1 HVAC zone → 1 thermostat · 3 keyless doors (Door 01 glass entry + Treatment 104/105) · 8 Hunter Douglas PowerView Gen 3 shades (+ Gen 3 Gateway, reserve its IP) on reception/pedicure glazing · hub + UPS + LumiOS PC by the existing electric panel. What still needs a licensed pro no matter what: the thermostat, the glass-door electric strike, the door locks, sirens/alarm tie-in, and the exterior-sign wiring.

Totals: Other equipment (everything except shades) ≈ $5,000–7,000 · Hunter Douglas shades ≈ $11,000 (dealer quote, measure + install included) · installer labor ≈ $4,000–10,000. All-in ≈ $20,000–28,000. The shades are the biggest line and the most deferrable — you can add them in a later phase. Consider a second HD dealer quote (pricing varies a lot) before committing.
