About the Product:
The Smarteefi Smart Switch Panels work by replacing an existing switchboard, wiring onto the existing electrical wires behind it and making the connected devices like lights and fans smart. These Smart Home switchboards connect to your WiFi network to sync with the Smarteefi App and give you control from anywhere. They allow you to control and schedule each electric connection independently. They also provide notifications on your Phone when manual or scheduled controls are executed. Weekly and daily Scheduling allows you to save on energy bills by automatically switching On or Off at specified times in the week, or based on count-down timers. Some variants come with built-in Plug Points that act as Smart Plugs by offering all the control and scheduling features to any appliance or electrical device plugged into them. These Smart Switch Boards even run the schedules during a power-cut or loss of internet connectivity, keeping all the operational scenarios in mind. It has a dark front panel design that goes well with most interiors, and a needs very simple and quick installation process. We recommend getting a local electrician to install this for you, since it involves working with potentially live wires.

Smart Modular Wall Switches
Sometimes when you want to automate your home, you realise that the Smart Switch Panels don’t fit the dimensions of the Switchboard your room, or maybe you only want to only automate a part of your existing switchboard. In that case, it makes sense to be able to selectively automate your room. That’s where Smart Modular Switches come in. They fit into standard Anchor Roma Switch Plates and let you make only the selected electrical devices Smart.
Smarteefi’s Smart Modular Switches are great for automating specific parts of existing Homes or Offices. They fit onto existing standard Roma Switch Plates, as a 2-module addon and automate the electrical devices internally connected to them. The installation is very similar to adding a new switch in an existing switchboard. You could either use them as Smart Switches for existing Lights and Appliances, or for Plug Points on the same switchboard. These switches allow you to control and schedule them independently from anywhere with the Smarteefi App. The App also provides notifications on control and schedule events. Apart from scheduling, it even lets you use a countdown timer feature which is very useful when you need to save energy consumption of an appliance or efficiently charge your phone. This is surely a great way to incrementally add intelligence to your home with minimal time and effort.
Pro Tip: Hire an Electrician from a service like UrbanClap to quickly and easily install it.

Conclusion
Of course you want to add some smart features to your Home or Office, since it brings you the added convenience and peace of mind. Before you get started, we would advise you to strongly consider the future implications of adding Smart Home Gadgets. It always is most convenient to use devices from the same brand or manufacturer, since you then only need to use a single App to monitor and control everything. And Smarteefi has clearly kept this in mind with the design of its products. The Switchboard Panels are available in almost all the regular sizes, and they are reportedly working on more sizes and variants. The modular Smart Switches are designed to fit into standard Switchboard Plates, and make the process of installation extremely simple.
Remember, that these switchboard devices work well as long as you have a Neutral wire available in your switchboard. This is something you should ensure or ask your electrician to confirm before you spend on these Smart Home Gadgets.
The Smart Extension Board is an extremely handy and portable Smart Home Gadget. In addition to providing Smart Plug functionalities, it lets you carry it with you wherever you go, so you are never far from a smart way to use your plug-in devices.
In conclusion, we found that Smarteefi's products are very reliable, with repeatable behaviour and a good support system provided by the company. We would recommend going for Smarteefi if you want to start small, test the waters first before diving into the complete Smart Home transformation. At the same time, the Smarteefi branding on the front panels of all their products are a bit distracting. It would also be nice if they provided more detailed video product guides and installation support.
So our overall verdict for Smarteefi is 4.2/5
Which is really good. This could be one of the best Smart Home products offered by an Indian brand.
