Does your switchboard have a neutral wire?
What a neutral is, why so many Jaipur boards do not have one at the switch, how to check yours in five minutes without an electrician, and what each of the three workarounds costs.
Guides
Written from open switchboards, not from a product catalogue.
Most of what is written about home automation in India is written by people who have never taken a plate off a wall. These guides come from the opposite direction. What we find on survey, what fails, and what it costs to fix.
Where we do not know something, the guide says so. Where a manufacturer's claim does not match what we see in the field, the guide says that too.
What fails, and when
We run our own repair bench, so we see what comes back and how often. Which components fail, at what age, what the repair costs, and which categories we would not buy at all.
Jaipur water supply and tank automation
Why intermittent supply changes what a tank controller has to do, how to size a tank against your supply window, and what running a pump dry actually costs to put right.
Not sure yet what you want?
These guides go deep on one subject each, and assume you already know roughly what you are after. If you are still working that out, the blog answers the shorter questions: what to automate first, switches or bulbs, and what works without internet.
