Smart home automation in Kolkata, made effortless.

Older housing in central and south Kolkata was wired decades before modern electrical standards existed, so assuming a full rewire before automation makes the project far more expensive than it needs to be.

How we solve it: Retrofit-friendly devices are selected to work with the existing panel and wiring wherever safely possible, with an electrician's assessment upfront to flag only the specific circuits that genuinely need upgrading rather than rewiring the whole house.

Kolkata's monsoon waterlogging is a near-annual event, and newer developments in Salt Lake, New Town, and Rajarhat sit on reclaimed low-lying wetland that is itself prone to flooding despite being modern construction.

How we solve it: Water sensors at entry points and ground-floor rooms trigger an automatic circuit cutoff before water reaches wiring, with an app alert so residents know the moment flooding starts even from across the city.

Kolkata's exposure to Bay of Bengal cyclones has caused power outages lasting several days in the recent past, long enough that ordinary smart devices lose their schedules and need to be reconfigured by hand once power returns.

How we solve it: Battery-backed hubs and devices retain their schedules and access codes through extended outages and resume automatically once mains power is restored, without needing anyone to walk through the app resetting each device.
