Start with one room. Here is which one, and why.
Wavify · Published 24 August 2026
Start with the living room, then the main bedroom. Do the kitchen third and the entrance last, unless security is the reason you are doing this at all. Water tank automation sits outside this order and is worth doing first.
Almost nobody automates a whole house in one go, and we would rather you did not. Doing one room and living with it for a month tells you more about what your household actually wants than any showroom visit.
1. The living room
This is where automation is most visible and most used. It is the room with the most circuits, the most light layers and the most people in it. One instruction can drop the lights, draw the curtains and set the fan, and everybody in the house sees the difference the same evening.
It is also the fairest test. If your household does not enjoy it here, it will not enjoy it anywhere, and you have found that out for the price of one room.
Typically adds ₹18,000 – ₹46,000.
2. The main bedroom
The second room people ask for, and the one that changes a daily habit rather than an evening. Getting into bed stops involving a walk across the room. Curtains open at the time you actually wake up.
Bedrooms are also where motorised curtains earn their money, because a quiet motor and a set open time do something a switch cannot.
Typically adds ₹14,000 – ₹38,000 per bedroom, curtains included.
3. The kitchen
Less glamorous and more used. Voice control earns its keep here more than anywhere else, because your hands are usually full. Under-cabinet light on the counter you are standing at. An exhaust that runs on for ten minutes after the gas goes off.
It is third rather than first because the wins are smaller, not because they do not exist.
Typically adds ₹9,000 – ₹22,000.
4. The entrance
Last in the normal order, and first if security is your actual reason for doing any of this. A single button by the door that turns everything off, closes the curtains, arms the sensors and locks up.
We put it last because it is the most expensive room per unit of daily pleasure. If somebody in the house travels often, move it up.
Typically adds ₹22,000 – ₹45,000 for the full entry kit.
The exception: do the water tank first
Tank automation is not really part of this order. It is cheap, it takes half a day, and in Jaipur it solves a problem you have every week rather than a convenience you enjoy every evening.
The tank fills when supply arrives, whether or not anybody is home. It stops before it overflows. And it will not let the pump run dry, which is the failure that actually costs money because it burns out the motor.
At ₹6,500 – ₹12,000 installed, it is the one item we would fit before anything else in this city. Why Jaipur supply changes the answer
Where automation adds least
Being honest about this saves you money.
Spare bedrooms that are used four times a year are not worth automating. A bathroom rarely needs more than a good sensor light. Balconies and utility areas are usually better served by one sensor fitting than by anything on an app. And a study that one person uses alone gets very little from scenes, because there is nobody else to coordinate with.
If your budget is tight, spend it on making two rooms genuinely good rather than five rooms partly done.
Does doing it in stages cost more?
Yes, a little. Doing everything at once is cheaper per room, because we are on site anyway and the labour is shared. Doing it in stages costs somewhat more overall.
It also costs you nothing in compatibility. The same system takes the next room whenever you are ready, and nothing installed in stage one gets thrown away in stage two. Plenty of our customers do a room a year.
You can see what either route costs on the estimator, or read the full published bands if you would rather have it in a table.
