A Tata Power EZ HOME success story

Introduction


In the heart of a bustling tech hub, a 15-year-old home stood as a testament to traditional architecture. Solid, dependable, but increasingly at odds with modern living needs. As an ASIC design engineer at Qualcomm, the client had always been fascinated by the possibilities of home automation. Years ago, he and his son, had even dreamed of creating their own smart switches, but time and complexity had kept this dream just out of reach.

 

Circling out the pain points


Like many homeowners with older properties, the client faced the classic dilemma of modernization. His home’s electrical setup was designed in a different era. Hence, there were constant drawbacks. The Gupta home houses heritage; it could not be torn down for automation. The family needed a smart solution that brought them abreast the rest of the world, without losing the essence of their home. Here were some of their main concerns:


1. Limited switch panel space in existing electrical layouts
 

2. Inefficient control mechanisms (e.g., fans with only regulators, no switches)
 

3. No remote monitoring and control capabilities
 

4. Lack of power consumption measurement at device level
 

5. Absence of a timer-based control of appliances

For them, the challenge wasn t just about convenience but about finding a way to bridge the old and the new without extensive renovations or rewiring. To that effect, they needed something that was sustainable, customized to their needs, and impactful. Here’s how they found the perfect partner for this journey.

 

Lighting up heritage with modern solutions

 

Like thousands of homes across India, this residence was also automated by Tata Power EZ HOME smart energy solutions. Seeing the team in action, The Gupta’s were fascinated by the possibilities that lay afoot. What caught Mr. Gupta’s attention wasn’t just the technology, but the practicality of the implementation. When asked about this experience, they still recount how the same old panel that once held only 2 mechanical switches now accommodates 4 smart ones. Here is what really changed the game.
