What Is Retrofit?

Retrofit smart home automation uses specially designed devices that are installed behind existing switches or inside switch boxes. These retrofit devices enable smart control of lights, fans, and appliances while keeping your original wiring and switches intact.

Instead of rebuilding your electrical system, smart retrofit controllers and retrofit smart switches convert your current home into a smart home.

Key highlights:

  • No rewiring required
  • No civil work or wall damage
  • Compatible with Indian and Tamil Nadu wiring standards
  • Manual and smart control work together
