Smart e-Homes have arrived in India, particularly in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore, albeit for selected strata of the society. Future homes and offices of [url=http://www.mirrealtors.com/] Builders Cochin [/url] will see a large part of the manual functioning done automatically by computer systems. In India, we still have a very long way to go where intelligent homes are concerned, but the concept is catching on.

They cater to the nouveau riche, the status-conscious, the gadget-oriented IT pro and those who believe in modern lifestyle, including new generation couples. People in cities are still getting used to this new concept. The general outlook of the middle class is that such homes are luxurious indulgences. Intelligent homes not only provide the highest level of security but also make things simpler to do at the press of a button. The response has been overwhelming.

The market is at a nascent stage but demand will match the growing public awareness. The target community, encompasses the “urban middle class to the super rich” category living in MNC-dominated metros but, more particularly, the people who travel and are constantly on the move.Home automation is for the affluent class and rich young aspirants, and not necessarily for only the super-rich. Given the affordability, even the affluent professionals can enjoy the benefits of home systems. All traditional major cities (e.g. Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai) and emerging cities like Pune, Hyderabad and Jaipur, have housing projects that are seeking such “intelligence” make-up. With rapid rise in income graphs, the homeowners are now looking for that extra bit of comfort, security and information. Hi-tech gadgets make them realize these desires.

Customers, as of now the high-end clients (either young or elderly) are willing to spend around 3 to 5% of the total cost of an apartment or independent house for safety and security.Awareness of the home automation systems among people is more especially when they get to see them abroad. The Indian domestic market in this segment is showing steady growth but it is too early to furnish data in this regard.
