About ELAN
ELAN, founded in 1989 and now part of Nice (which absorbed Nortek Security & Control), is a whole-home control and AV-automation platform. A single ELAN app and interface unifies security, climate, lighting, entertainment, multi-room audio/video, surveillance and intercom. It sits at the top 'brain' layer of a smart home, orchestrating equipment from many brands rather than acting as the wiring devices themselves — which makes it well suited to large, AV-rich villas.
Best For: Luxury homeowners wanting a single, dealer-installed interface that ties together high-end AV, security and automation across the whole house.

ELAN FAQ
Who owns ELAN now — is it the same as Nice/Nortek?
ELAN began in Lexington, Kentucky in 1989 and later became part of Nortek Security & Control, which Nice acquired. Nice has since unified the portfolio, so you may see it branded as 'Nice (formerly ELAN)', but the ELAN control system remains the product line.
What makes ELAN good for a large Indian villa?
ELAN is built to distribute audio and video across many rooms and unify AV, lighting, climate, cameras and security into one app. That suits large villas with home theatres and multi-room music, where a single control layer over mixed equipment is valuable.
Roughly what does an ELAN system cost in India?
ELAN is quoted per project rather than list-priced, so figures are indicative: around ₹6–15 Lakh for a controller-plus-app setup in a premium apartment, and ₹20 Lakh to ₹1 Crore+ for a large villa with multi-room AV and security. Cost scales with zones, sub-systems and the gear ELAN controls.
Can ELAN control equipment from other brands?
Yes — ELAN is designed as a top-layer controller that integrates third-party HVAC, lighting, security, cameras/NVR and AV under one interface. This is its core strength in premium homes that mix multiple equipment brands. We confirm device drivers during design.
