Since my modules sit right behind your existing switchboard, the app communicates directly with your switches via Wi-Fi. Whether you are in bed, at the office, or running late, one tap on the dashboard toggles your appliances instantly, giving you actual control rather than just tech-for-tech's sake. ### How It Actually Works Most smart home systems feel like a renovation project, but I designed this to be the opposite. The Picostone app connects to the tiny hardware module we hide behind your switchboard. Once installed, it doesn't matter if you are using an iPhone or Android; the interface gives you clear, room-wise segregation so you aren't hunting for switches in a list of twenty. ### Your Phone, Your Universal Remote Think about the clutter on your coffee table. The app replaces the AC remote, the TV remote, and the set-top box remote. We have designed the interface to be intuitive—you can group devices into scenes like 'Movie Time' or 'Good Night.' Tap one button, and the lights dim while the AC hits your preferred temperature. ### Coming Soon: Tracking Your Power One of the most requested features is energy monitoring. We are currently rolling out an update that helps you track power consumption per appliance. It takes the guesswork out of high electricity bills. You will be able to see exactly which appliance is the 'culprit' behind that spike at the end of the month, helping you save on bills without changing your lifestyle. ### Why No Hub? I wanted to make this affordable and scalable. By keeping the logic local to the module, you don't need to buy an expensive gateway device. Start with one room, test the app, and expand to the rest of the house only when you are comfortable. ## About Picostone I'm Niket, and I started Picostone because I was genuinely too lazy to get off the couch just to turn off a light. My goal is to make smart home tech feel simple and 'Made in India', without needing to break a single wall to install it.
