Smart homes are an excellent value proposition to those who own them, both in terms of efficiency and savings. The average Indian household, in a city such as Mumbai, spends approximately Rs. 3,000  a month on electricity. This amount can be reduced significantly and life can be improved in the process by home automation technologies such as Smart lighting, security, entertainment & other home automation accessories.

But even though Smart homes bring significant savings, there is another side to be considered. You may (or not) already know not all Smart home installations/upgradations require a significant upfront investment, you can also adopt Smart home automation incrementally. Furthermore, in India, there are companies that offer cost-effective and quality-driven Smart home appliances (some DIY) in the price range of Rs. 10,000 – Rs. 1,50,000 and above, depending on what you set up in your home. So, if you are looking for further information about home automation on a budget, get in touch with us today.

So, read on to find out  how much a Smart home with all the essential systems and appliances will cost you.
