My Picostone module sits right behind your existing switchboard, meaning you keep your original physical switches while gaining smart control. It takes about an hour to install, and since it is a retrofit system, it is just as effective for a rented apartment as it is for a luxury villa. When I started Picostone, my only goal was to solve the daily irritations—leaving lights on, forgetting where I put the remote, or simply not wanting to get up from a comfy spot. By building a device that hides behind your existing switchboard, I have ensured you do not need a massive renovation to get a smart home. Whether you are in Mumbai, Bengaluru, or Ahmedabad, we focus on non-disruptive installation that works with the electrical setup you already have. Our system connects directly to Wi-Fi and works with Alexa and Google Home, allowing you to control lights, fans, ACs, and curtains through simple voice commands or our app. We handle everything from basic dimming to complex 'Movie Night' scenes. Plus, since it is 'Made in India', the hardware is built specifically for our local electrical conditions. You can start small—just one room or one appliance—and scale up later. If you are tired of fumbling for light switches or hunting for the TV remote, let’s chat. It is not just tech; it is about reclaiming your time. ## About Picostone I'm Niket, and I created Picostone because I was just too lazy to get up and turn off the lights. My team and I focus on making your space work for you, using technology that actually makes life simpler.
