About Schneider Electric
Schneider Electric is one of the world's largest energy-management and electrical companies and a founding force behind the global KNX open standard. In smart homes it plays at two tiers: the professional, wired KNX system (Unica KNX keypads, touch units, thermostats, lighting and HVAC control) for villas and large projects, and the retrofit-friendly wireless Wiser range (smart switches, dimmers, energy management, app and voice control) for apartments and existing homes. We design and install both — scaling from a single smart switch to a fully managed residence.
Best For: Homeowners wanting a globally backed, standards-based system — KNX for new villas, Wiser for retrofit apartments without rewiring.

Schneider Electric FAQ
What is the difference between KNX and Wiser?
KNX is Schneider's professional wired bus system, ideal for new villas where cabling is planned and you want a future-proof open standard. Wiser is the wireless retrofit range that upgrades an existing flat without breaking walls. We help you choose based on whether your home is under construction or already finished.
Can Wiser be installed in an existing apartment without rewiring?
Yes. Wiser smart switches and modules fit into existing switch boxes and connect wirelessly over Zigbee/Wi-Fi, so a typical 2–3 BHK can be made smart in a day with no wall damage. Indicative cost for such a retrofit starts around ₹1.5 Lakh depending on the number of points.
Is KNX worth it for an Indian home?
For large villas and high-end homes where reliability and a single integrated system matter, wired KNX is a sound long-term investment, typically ₹8 Lakh and up. Because KNX is an open standard, you are never locked to one brand for future expansion.
Does Schneider work with Alexa and Google Assistant?
Yes. The Wiser range supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, and its move to Matter improves compatibility with other smart-home brands. KNX systems can also be bridged to voice assistants during integration.
