Cost Factors: What Affects Home Automation Pricing?
Home Size and Layout
Larger homes require more devices, sensors, and control points. Complex layouts with multiple floors increase wiring costs for KNX systems. Expect ₹300-500 per sq ft for basic automation, ₹600-1,200 per sq ft for comprehensive KNX.
Number of Control Points
Each light, fan, curtain, AC, and appliance adds to the system cost. A 3 BHK typically has 40-60 control points; a luxury villa may have 150-250 points. More control points = higher investment.
Brand and Device Quality
European brands (Gira, Jung, ABB) cost 2-3x more than Chinese alternatives but offer superior reliability and aesthetics. Fulcro recommends German/Swiss devices for KNX backbone with premium finishes for visible switches.
Integration Complexity
Basic lighting and curtain control is straightforward. Integrating HVAC, AV systems, security cameras, and energy management adds 30-50% to project costs due to engineering complexity and testing requirements.
Programming and Scenes
Custom scenes (Good Morning, Movie Time, Party Mode, Vacation) require programming time. Expect ₹50,000-1,50,000 for comprehensive scene programming with logic, timers, and conditional automation.

Fulcro's Recommendation: Budget Planning
For new construction in Whitefield, Sarjapur, and Koramangala: Allocate 8-12% of your interior budget to automation. KNX wired systems offer the best long-term value, reliability, and scalability. Plan wiring during civil stage to avoid retrofitting costs—this is when technical execution partners integrate automation infrastructure with millwork, lighting, and AV systems.
For existing homes in HSR Layout and surrounding areas: Start with wireless systems for high-impact areas (living room, master bedroom) and expand gradually. Budget ₹1.5-3 lakhs for a meaningful smart home upgrade. No rewiring required when working with experienced interior execution services in Bangalore.
Don't compromise on: System backbone (KNX bus for wired), brand quality for visible switches, and professional programming. Cutting corners here leads to reliability issues and poor user experience.
