I use a compact module that installs behind your existing switchboard in about an hour. You keep your original switches, so even if the internet goes down or you have guests over, everything works the old-school way. No mess, no wall-chipping, just instant convenience. If you have ever felt the annoyance of leaving the bedroom light on after getting into bed, or wasted time searching for a lost remote, you are exactly the person I built this for. My approach to smart home automation is strictly retrofit. I do not believe in tearing down your walls to lay new wires. Instead, I install a tiny, Made in India module directly behind your existing switchboard. This setup allows you to keep using your current switches while adding a layer of intelligent control over your lights, fans, and ACs. Integration with Alexa and Google Home is standard, so you can control your entire home using simple voice commands in your natural accent. For your TV and AC, I use a plug-and-play IR blaster. This small device sits on a table and replaces that pile of remotes cluttering your living room. We can start small. You do not need to automate your entire apartment at once. Many of my clients start with a single room or just their AC and fan setup to see how it works. Once you get used to telling your AC to turn on as you walk through the door, you can easily expand to other rooms. Whether you live in a rental or a heritage property, this solution respects your space while upgrading your lifestyle. Keh diya na. Bas, keh diya. ## About Picostone Hi, I am Niket. I started Picostone because I was genuinely too lazy to get up and switch off the lights at night. I wanted smart home tech that fits into a regular Indian apartment without breaking walls, so I built it myself.
