LiveInSmart Technologies is an independent Smart Home, Home Automation, Audio-Visual and Home Theatre consultant with in-house system integration — not a walk-in switch reseller. Since 2018 we have designed and commissioned 500+ smart home installations across Hyderabad, Vijayawada and 25+ cities in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, spanning retrofit apartments, new-build villas, home theatres, security-first properties and full KNX-grade luxury projects. Our recommendations are brand-agnostic: we specify hardware (KNX, Zigbee, Wi-Fi mesh, Lutron, Alexa, Google, Apple HomeKit compatible platforms) only where it genuinely fits your home, budget, existing wiring and future roadmap.

For a new user in India, start with Alexa Echo Dot 5th gen — the widest device support, best local skills and cheapest routine authoring. Add Google Nest only if your family prefers Google's Q&A.
Use retrofit smart switch modules that sit behind your existing switchboards, Wi-Fi/Zigbee smart bulbs, an IR blaster to pool your AC/TV/set-top-box remotes, a smart Wi-Fi lock and a video door phone. LiveInSmart typically converts a 3BHK in 2–4 days with zero visible wiring change — the mechanical switches keep working and you get app + Alexa/Google control on top.
A basic single-room retrofit starts around ₹35,000–₹55,000. A full 3BHK apartment with lighting, fans, curtains, one AC, video door phone and Alexa integration lands between ₹1.8–3.5 lakh. A wired KNX villa with lighting scenes, curtains, HVAC, security, home theatre and CCTV ranges ₹8–25 lakh. LiveInSmart designs the exact bill-of-materials against your house.
Alexa is better for shopping/routines and has the widest local-skill support in India; Google Home is better for questions, calendar and multi-language conversation. Both control the same LiveInSmart lighting, curtains, AC, TV and locks. We usually deploy Alexa as primary and add Google Assistant as a secondary voice layer.
Yes. Every LiveInSmart switch and scene runs locally, so loss of internet does not disable lights, fans or curtains. During a power cut, the mechanical fallback on retrofit switches still works; for wired KNX installations we recommend a small UPS on the automation bus so scenes keep running.
Yes. Every smart home we deploy includes site survey, single-line diagram, hardware supply, concealed cabling (where applicable), professional installation, scene programming, Alexa/Google onboarding, family handover and a 3-year installation warranty. Optional AMC covers annual health-checks, firmware updates and priority on-site response.
