How-To
Smart plug × 2 (₹999 each) — automate your geyser and aquarium. Smart bulb × 4 (₹599 each) — bedroom + living room. Echo Dot or Google Nest Mini (₹3,499) — voice control hub. Smart doorbell (₹3,999) — package alerts and visitor logs. Motion sensor (₹1,299) — auto-lights for hallways. Sunset → turn on living room lights. "Goodnight" voice → all lights off, geyser off. Motion in hallway after midnight → 20% warm light. Smart locks (₹15,000+ alone, install nightmare). Robot vacuum (separate evaluation, not a starter item). Curtain motors (delicate, expensive).
