Whether you’re just getting started or looking to upgrade a few essentials, here are some budget-friendly home automation ideas using Goldmedal solutions.
-
Smart Switches & Touch Panels:
Upgrade your basic switches with Goldmedal’s smart modular range, like the Lifestyle touch panels, Air and Nixon series. These switches don’t just look sleek — they allow remote control via app or voice assistants like Alexa and Google Home. Start with high-usage areas like the living room or bedroom to maximise impact without overspending.
-
Wi-Fi Enabled Sockets:
Plug-and-play automation can begin with something as simple as Goldmedal’s Wi-Fi smart sockets. These are perfect for scheduling large appliances like air conditioners, geysers, microwave, — all without the need for major rewiring. Just connect, configure, and control from your phone.
-
Motion Sensors for Lights:
Reduce energy bills and add a layer of convenience with Goldmedal’s motion sensors. Place them in bathrooms, corridors, or wardrobes where lights turn on only when someone’s present. They’re cost-effective, easy to install, and ideal for households with kids or elderly members.
-
LED Dimmers & Scene Control:
Create mood lighting without expensive installations. Goldmedal’s dimmers let you control brightness levels for different times of the day. You can even preset “scenes” — movie night, dinner lighting, or bedtime — all managed via app or touch control.
-
Voice-Activated Assistant Speakers:
Pair Goldmedal devices with smart speakers like Alexa or Google Nest to control your home with just your voice. Imagine saying, “Turn off all lights,” or “Switch on the AC” — and watching it happen. It’s easy, intuitive, and surprisingly affordable.
What’s more, you can control your devices remotely from anywhere in the world using your smartphone, whether you’re at work, on holiday, or stuck in traffic. These systems also offer secure access with encrypted connections, ensuring your home stays smart and safe.

You don’t need to overhaul your home or stretch your budget to enjoy smart living. Start small, pick the zones that matter most, and grow from there. Goldmedal’s user-friendly, modular automation products are designed to help every Indian home become smarter — one switch at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) :
- Q1. How can I plan a phased home automation upgrade on a tight budget? Start with essential devices like smart plugs, bulbs, or a voice assistant. Prioritise rooms used most often, like the living room or bedroom. Gradually expand to include smart switches, sensors, and thermostats. Choose devices compatible with one platform (e.g., Alexa or Google Home) to ensure seamless integration without needing to replace devices later.
- Q2. Can I automate my home without hiring a professional? Yes, many smart devices are DIY-friendly. Smart plugs, bulbs, doorbells, and speakers can be installed without technical expertise. Use smartphone apps or voice assistants for setup. However, for complex installations like rewiring smart switches or integrating security systems, professional help may still be advisable for safety and reliability.
- Q3. Is it possible to automate only one room? Absolutely. You can begin by automating a single room such as a bedroom or living room. Install smart lighting, a smart speaker, and a few smart plugs. This approach allows you to experience the convenience of automation without a large upfront cost, and you can expand gradually over time.
