In my workshop, I use standard 16 Ampere relays for every high-load connection, like your AC or geyser. This ensures your system stays cool and reliable even during the peak of summer, without needing any expensive wall chipping or rewiring. ### Why Retrofit Matters The biggest concern with home automation is the fear of tearing down walls. We designed our systems as retrofit modules. This means we replace your existing switch plates with our smart glass panels using the wiring you already have. It is a clean process that keeps your walls intact. ### Safety Beyond Features It is easy to focus on app features, but safety is the foundation. I insist on using fire-resistant porcelain (chini mitti) internals that can withstand high temperatures. This is not just a spec sheet detail; it is the difference between a home that runs smoothly and one that faces electrical risks during voltage fluctuations. ### The Logic of Our App We provide our mobile app for life because smart tech should be an asset, not a subscription trap. We push regular updates to ensure your devices stay compatible with the latest versions of Alexa and Google Assistant. Whether you are automating lights or heavy appliances, the logic remains the same: it must be simple, secure, and made for the Indian grid. ### Technical Specs Checklist * **Relay Capacity:** Standard 16 Amp relays for ACs, geysers, and refrigerators. * **Materials:** Shockproof glass and high-grade heat-resistant sockets. * **Control Options:** Voice (Alexa/Google), touch, and remote app management. ## About Alisan Smart Homes I'm Sanchit. I started Alisan Smart Homes because I wanted technology that actually works for our homes, not just looks good in brochures. We focus on the heavy-duty stuff—making sure your AC and geysers handle smart control without a single spark.
