Who We Serve
Trusted across Chennai by the organisations that depend on reliable, compliant systems.
Good home automation disappears into daily life. Lights come on as you walk in, the curtains close at sunset, the AC is cool before you reach home, and you can check the gate from your phone. RS Technologies has designed home and office automation in Chennai since 2014, and our aim is always the same: fewer switches to think about, not more apps to manage.
Two things shape a good design here. First, power cuts: we make sure lights and switches still work normally from the wall when the internet or hub is down, and that critical devices sit on your inverter. Second, retrofits: most flats and villas are already wired, so we favour systems that fit behind existing switch plates without breaking walls.
We also recommend devices that support the Matter standard where possible, so you are not locked into a single brand as your home grows.

For individual homeowners we often start with a few rooms and expand later. For villas we design whole-home systems with central control. For builders, we offer smart-apartment packages that can be offered to buyers at handover. For offices, we automate lighting, meeting rooms and air-conditioning schedules to cut wasted power after hours.
Typical market ranges, installed:
| System | Typical market range |
|---|---|
| Starter — smart lighting and a few devices in key rooms | ₹15,000 – ₹35,000 |
| Mid-range — most of the home, with scenes, curtains and security | ₹60,000 – ₹1,50,000 |
| Full villa or office automation with central control | From ₹2,50,000 |
Typical market ranges, not a quote — costs depend on the number of rooms and devices and whether the home is new or already wired. Any current offer shown above has its own fixed price.
