Schneider Electric, providers of energy and automation digital solutions for efficiency and sustainability, has launched Easy Homes - one of their innovations in the Smart Home space. According to the company, bringing IoT to power homes, Schneider Electric’s Easy Homes empowers customers to manage power in their homes through a single app. With four interfaces, it can be operated by everyone through Alexa or Google Home, smart phone, remote and switches to control power usage in the house. Designed to meet the unique requirements of everyone, it converts homes into a smart home, turning every switch and appliance into a connected device. Easy Homes, the company says, shows its committment towards creating a safe, comfortable and easy to create smart home.
“At Schneider Electric, we are committed to providing ease of access to the new age customers through energy efficient smart home solutions," said Srinivas Shanbhogue, vice president, Retail Business, Schneider Electric India, on the sidelines of the launch. He further added, "Apart from ensuring energy efficiency, smart home solutions should be easy to install and operate thereby making life easy for individuals navigating small struggles of managing electricity touch points in the home seamlessly. We understand that the struggle is real and with Easy Homes, we hope to address these.”
While most of the smart home solutions are designed to be installed in new homes, existing homes and retrofit projects need to be made smart. Schneider Electric’s Easy Homes is for every home - existing, old, and new. Starting at Rs 28,998 Easy Homes is afforable and can be installed without changing the existing electrical setup, upgrading homes in just about four hours. Further, in case of any challenges, a local electrician is available 24x7 to troubleshoot the device, thereby easing the overall maintenance process. As a company, Schneider Electric feels it is imperative to design smart home solutions for Indian customers comprising families with people across generations--from millennials to parents and grandparents.
