TL;DR. Home automation in Bangalore, designed as one system: KNX and DALI for wired new builds, Zigbee for retrofits, across 100+ pincodes. Smart switches, lighting scenes, motorised curtains and voice control. Every project starts with a ₹3,000 site visit and a documented design: floor plan, device list, protocol choice, fixed-price quote. One team handles design, install and support, with a 1-year warranty. Want a ballpark first? See your price in 2 minutes on our automation planner.
Homezee has built smart home systems for apartments, villas, new construction, and retrofits, serving Karnataka and Hyderabad from our Bengaluru base. 200+ homes since 2019. We install across all four major protocols (KNX, DALI, Zigbee, Bluetooth) and recommend the right one for your home based on whether you’re building new or retrofitting, not based on what’s easiest for us to install.
What smart home automation actually means
Smart home automation is not a pile of app-controlled gadgets. A well-designed system is a single coordinated layer: lights, switches, curtains, locks, climate, and scenes that work together and keep working without you thinking about them. The difference between a good install and a frustrating one is almost always the design phase — protocol selection, load planning, scene logic — not the devices themselves.
That’s why every Homezee automation project starts with a documented design before any work begins. You see exactly which devices go where, which protocol they run on, and what it costs, on paper, before we touch a wall.
What a home automation company does
A home automation company designs, installs, and looks after the system that runs your lights, switches, curtains, climate, and scenes. At Homezee that work runs in this order:
- Design. A ₹3,000 design visit to assess your electrical layout, network, and each room, then a documented design: floor plan, device list, protocol choice, and a fixed-price quote.
- Install. Our in-house team wires, mounts, and connects the devices. We do not use subcontractors.
- Programme. We set up scenes, schedules, the app, and voice control around how you live in the home.
- Hand over. We walk you through the system and issue a Site Report.
- Support. A 1-year comprehensive warranty on the full system, then AMC from year 2. Our own team does the service visits.
Wired versus wireless — which for your home
If you’re building new or doing a major renovation where walls are open, wired automation (KNX for whole-home control, DALI for premium tunable lighting) is the gold standard — rock-solid reliability, 20+ year device life, no battery changes, no dependence on Wi-Fi or cloud. It’s only practical when you can run cables.
If you’re already living in the home and don’t want to break walls, wireless (Zigbee, with Bluetooth for simple single rooms) is the right choice — installation in days instead of weeks, no civil work, easy to expand. The trade-off is occasional sensor battery changes and a dependence on a powered hub.
Most of our installs are mixed: a wired KNX or DALI backbone where the contractor is still on site, wireless for everything added later.
Protocols we install
KNX is the European luxury-home standard — wired, bus-based, no internet needed for local control, devices last decades. Best for villas and premium apartments under construction. More on KNX home automation in Bangalore, including how it compares with Zigbee and Wi-Fi.
DALI is a wired commercial-grade lighting protocol with the smoothest dimming and tightest colour-temperature accuracy available. We install it wherever a customer wants premium tunable lighting and the budget supports the wired install — not just theaters.
Zigbee is the wireless mainstream — mesh-networked, retrofits into any home, works with hundreds of consumer brands. The default for whole-home retrofits in Bangalore.
Bluetooth mesh is the cheapest and fastest, good for single rooms and starter installs where a hub isn’t wanted.
Lighting and scenes
The real value of automation shows up in scenes — one action that coordinates many devices. “Movie mode” closes the curtains, dims the lights to 15%, and switches the AV system on. “Morning” raises the bedroom curtains and brings lights up gradually. “Away” turns everything off and arms the security layer. We program scenes during installation based on how you actually live in the home, and you can adjust them afterwards.
What about Matter
We watch the Matter protocol closely but don’t actively recommend Matter-first builds yet. The ecosystem is still maturing, device support is uneven, and most customers asking about Matter are better served by a Zigbee build today with Matter-compatible devices added as the standard settles. We’ll revisit this as Matter matures.
Site visit and documented design
Smart home and home automation site visits are a paid, in-depth assessment — our specialist evaluates your electrical layout, network, room-by-room device needs, and protocol fit, then prepares a complete project document. Within 24-48 hours you receive a floor plan with every device placed, every cable run estimated, every cost itemised. The quote is the deliverable, not just a price. The site visit fee is adjusted against your final invoice if you proceed. See how we work for current site visit fees.
Voice assistants
We configure Alexa and Google Home integration during installation where the protocol supports it. Voice is a convenience layer on top of the system, not the system itself — the automation works whether or not the voice assistant is online, because the core logic runs locally on the hub or bus.
Pricing
Smart home automation pricing depends entirely on which rooms and which categories you automate, and on the protocol. Basic automation for a 2BHK (smart switches, lighting, a hub) is a modest investment; whole-home villa automation with KNX, DALI lighting, motorised curtains, and security integration is a significant one. If cameras are part of the plan, our guide to CCTV installation cost in Bangalore breaks down 4- and 8-camera hardware prices. We offer modular packages so you can start with a few rooms and expand later without rewiring. For standard Insert, EX/PX series and Zigbee packages, our automation planner shows the all-in price for your home type (including 18% GST and 10% installation by Homezee) before any visit. The final quote comes after a site visit (survey fee ₹3,000). Wired KNX and larger integrated systems are priced from the site visit, because the design detail is where the accuracy lives.
Warranty and ongoing support
Every installation comes with a 1-year comprehensive full-system warranty covering hardware, wiring and programming, serviced by our in-house team, with no third-party call centre in between. From year 2, AMC contracts cover free service visits, consumable replacement, priority response, firmware updates, and preventive checks twice a year.
How to choose a home automation company in Bangalore

- Is the design visit clearly priced? Yes. ₹3,000 for an automation or home theater visit, adjusted against your final invoice if you go ahead.
- Is the quote a fixed price? Yes. The quote we give you is the price. Nothing is added on installation day unless you change the scope.
