Life Before and After a Smart Home Setup – Real Customer Experiences

Before their smart home transformation, the Gupta family in Delhi lived in a whirlwind of manual chores. Mornings were a race—switching on geysers, adjusting fans, and rushing to cook breakfast. “We were always playing catch-up,” says Anjali Gupta. Their evenings weren’t much better, with endless debates over who’d forgotten to turn off the lights. Then, in 2024, they invested in a smart home setup, and life flipped. Now, their mornings are serene. A smart assistant wakes them with weather updates and schedules the geyser. “It’s ready when I step into the bathroom,” Anjali beams.

Their smart thermostat adjusts the AC based on room occupancy, cutting energy costs by 25%, per their 2024 utility bills. The kitchen is a star: a smart oven preheats for baking, while a robotic cleaner tackles crumbs. “I have time to enjoy my chai,” Anjali says.

For the Guptas’ teenage son, Arjun, the smart entertainment system is a hit. “I control the TV and speakers with my phone,” he says. Movie nights are immersive, with lights dimming automatically. A 2024 Nielsen study found 65% of Indian smart home users reported enhanced leisure time. Even grandparents, initially wary, love the voice-activated lights in Hindi, making navigation easier at night. Contrast this with their “before” life: a fridge that needed manual defrosting, a washing machine that jammed mid-cycle, and no way to monitor energy use. “We didn’t realize how much time we wasted,” says Rohan Gupta. Post-setup, their smart hub tracks consumption, revealing they’ve saved ₹12,000 annually on utilities.Not every transition is smooth. Rural customers, like farmer Anil Patel from Gujarat, faced connectivity issues. “The app lagged,” he says, but CayroShop’s offline controls and 5G expansion helped. Cost is another hurdle—smart setups can start at ₹50,000—but financing and modular upgrades make it feasible. CayroShop’s 2024 report notes 55% of their customers began with one device before scaling up.

The real win? Peace of mind. “Our home feels alive, helping us live better,” Anjali says. From reducing chores to fostering family time, smart homes are rewriting customer stories across India, one connected device at a time.
