90% of the Value at 10% of the Cost
When architects suggest home automation for a new build, they are often quoting traditional "wired" systems (like KNX or Control4). These systems require dedicated server racks, miles of extra Ethernet wiring, and cost upwards of ₹5–10 Lakhs strictly for installation.
The SmartLink Edge AI Advantage
SmartLink retrofit modules use cutting-edge Edge-AI and local mesh communication to eliminate the central server completely. By decentralizing the logic to the switchboards themselves, you completely bypass massive civil and structural costs while gaining offline-first reliability.
| Metric | Traditional Wired (KNX) | SmartLink Retrofit |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost (3BHK) | ₹4,00,000+ | ₹35,000 - ₹50,000 |
| Processing Architecture | Vulnerable Central Server Rack | Decentralized Edge AI Nodes |
| Civil Work Required | Massive wall breaking & piping | Zero |
| Internet Requirement | Often requires cloud for voice | 100% Local / Offline Voice |
