Describe a real situation
Rather than asking only for a smart system, describe a practical situation: arriving at a holiday property, switching off an empty room, or changing the study temperature without changing the lounge. This gives the installer something specific to check against the proposed equipment.
Separate essential features from nice extras. A straightforward controller that every occupant can use may matter more than complicated automation. Where guests or maintenance staff need access, decide what they should be able to control and which settings should remain with the owner.
Check what the exact reference includes
The quote should distinguish the equipment, its included controller and any optional accessories. Request the Wi-Fi module or controller reference where one is needed. Do not assume a feature advertised for a product family is included with every capacity and version.
Samsung's SmartThings guidance describes app control for compatible equipment. Before ordering, check compatibility, connection requirements and the specific functions available for your model. An app name alone does not prove that the chosen combination supports every automation you have in mind.
Zoning needs an installation assessment
With ducted air conditioning, different room temperatures require the whole system to be considered. The proposal should state the zones and explain how the unit, controllers and regulating components work together. Adding several thermostats without checking compatibility is not a complete zoning design.
For a multisplit, identify which controller belongs to each indoor unit and which limitations are shared by the outdoor system. Ask for an explanation using your actual layout, including occupied and empty rooms. A practical example is more useful than a long feature list.
Test everyday operation at handover
Allow time to connect your own account where appropriate and check access permissions. Do not hand over your personal password. Ask how to change users, replace the router and retain basic control if the internet connection becomes unavailable.
Test at least one useful schedule as well as the local controller. Keep accessory references and manuals with the accepted quote. If something remains to be configured, record it clearly instead of treating a feature you have not seen working as complete.

Tell us which rooms you want to control and how you use them, so the proposal can identify the necessary controllers and accessories.
