Range of accessories to enrich your living environment with enhanced IoT - based user
High-end real estate in India has always been about something more than square footage or address. From Italian marble floors to modular kitchens, every aspect has long stood for comfort and exclusivity. But over the past few years, one amenity has moved quickly from being a luxury enhancement to being a standard expectation: the smart home automation system.
Top developers in India’s major cities are integrating home automation from the design stage because premium buyers in markets like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi NCR and Hyderabad now expect intelligent controls as standard. The demand is driven by practical factors such as prolonged heat that makes automated climate control valuable for optimising AC usage, heightened security concerns that increase the need for connected CCTV, smart locks and real-time alerts, and rising power costs that encourage the use of automation for energy monitoring, appliance scheduling and seamless integration with inverters or solar systems.
Why Home Automation Has Become Non-Negotiable
The Evolving Lifestyle of Premium Buyers
The Indian luxury realty buyer today is exposed to global trends. They may have spent time abroad, experienced living smart in mature markets, and now look for the same in India. Convenience is not only about expansive living spaces. It is about seamless technology that adapts to their lifestyle.
A home automation system, intelligent enough, enables people to control lighting, air conditioning, security, and entertainment using just a tap or voice command. For high-net-worth individuals juggling hectic lifestyles, the ability to streamline and individualise their home environment has become indispensable.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
High-end projects are now associated with sustainability certifications such as IGBC and LEED. According to a recent market report by TheLuxuryEstates.in, around 75% of luxury-home buyers now regard smart-home automation as a must-have feature, while 60% prioritise energy-efficient and sustainable homes. Automation directly helps meet those expectations: smart lighting and climate control reduce energy use and avoid waste, making compliance with certification energy-efficiency criteria (which typically call for 20–30% reduction in energy use) much easier.
In an era when eco-consciousness is a marker of sophistication, developers are finding that home automation India is not just about luxury, it’s about responsible living. Buyers are drawn to projects that promise lower energy bills and a reduced environmental impact without sacrificing comfort.
Security as a Premium Priority
Wealthy families value safety as much as they value luxury. Builders who include video door phones, surveillance integration, and smart locking solutions give homeowners peace of mind. For example, Legrand's connected security solutions can be accessed remotely, allowing homeowners to see what is going on at home from anywhere in the world.
In high-end apartments or gated communities, an integration of strong physical infrastructure with digital security is a key selling feature. Home automation renders security proactive rather than reactive, notifying the owners of suspicious activity and even preventing risks.
Smooth Integration With Contemporary Architecture
Luxury developments demand aesthetics alongside technology. Legrand’s modular interfaces, such as Arteor™ Advance, harmonize with modern interiors, allowing designers to preserve visual elegance while incorporating automation. High-rise penthouses or expansive villas can integrate smart systems without compromising style or functionality.
Arteor™ Advance – Precision, Innovation, Sustainability
Legrand’s Arteor™ Advance series exemplifies this integration of luxury and tech:
Elegant floating rocker that looks premium and is easy to use, even in low light.
Finish choices to suit any home — Classic or Elite modules with curated collections so switches blend with your interiors, not clash.
Useful everyday features like USB fast‑charging, dimmers, and smooth fan regulators that make daily living simpler and cleaner.
Hotel‑style convenience at home with options such as key‑card style controls, Do‑Not‑Disturb or MMR indicators, and intuitive bedside panels.
Eco‑friendly packaging and carbon focus (100% plastic-free, up to 70% lower carbon footprint) that align with greener living: Legrand is eliminating single‑use plastic in product packaging and targets broader carbon‑reduction goals, so your choice supports sustainability, not just style.
Arteor™ Advance delivers premium aesthetics, functionality, and eco-consciousness — ideal for homes, offices, and hotels.
The Role of Legrand in Redefining Home Automation India
Legrand has been a leader in home automation across India, providing scalable solutions for both standalone homeowners and multifamily residential projects. What differentiates Legrand is the merging of international expertise with an intimate knowledge of Indian lifestyles.
Modular and Scalable: Homeowners begin with lighting control or motorised blinds and then expand to a fully automated system as needs change.
Ease of Use: Interfaces are made easy to use for intuitive control, allowing every member of the family, across all ages, to operate the system.
Future-Proof Technology: With IoT-based innovations, Legrand keeps homes upgradable with new technologies without constant overhauls..
Developer Partnerships: Several of India's top real estate developers already have partnerships with Legrand to provide ready-to-move smart apartments, guaranteeing technology is integrated into the very heart of the home.
Why Home Automation is viewed by Developers as a Differentiator
In competitively premium markets such as Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, developers are expected to offer more than luxury finishes. Consumers are perceptive. They do not just compare projects on price but also on the quality of life that each offers.
Through collaboration with companies such as Legrand, the developers are able to sell their developments as being "future-proof." This is especially for the younger generation who consider technology an important part of who they are. Also, automation increases the resale worth of homes, thus making it a viable proposition for investment.
Looking Ahead: The Standard of Tomorrow
It is a consensus among industry players that in the next five years, smart home automation systems will not remain a differentiator. They would become the norm in India's high-end residential segment. Just as modular kitchens became the norm a decade back, automation will become a non-negotiable aspect in every high-end project.
Developers who adopt this change now will have a competitive advantage, while the laggers will risk their products being eclipsed by the expectations of the market. For the homebuyer, it will mean entering into homes that not only appear premium but experience premium.
With trendsetters such as Legrand at the forefront, home automation in India is no longer indulgence. It is about smart, sustainable, and future-proof living.
