The digital age has redefined the concept of luxury homes. From centralised control systems, energy-efficient solutions, eco-friendly innovations, robust cybersecurity measures and advanced water and waste management systems to the integration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) systems has further elevated the living experience, preparing one for a convenient, comfortable and contemporary lifestyle.

According to research conducted by Future Market Insights, the Indian smart home automation industry is valued at INR 5.9 lakh crore ($7,136.8 million) in 2024 and is projected to reach INR 54 lakh crore ($65,084.3 million) by 2034. This remarkable growth underscores the rapid advancement of home automation technology that will allow effortless control at the touch of a button.

Ajay Arya, interior designer and founder of A Square Designs, stated, “The trend of smart and integrated home automation has surged in India and is set to evolve further to align with contemporary lifestyles. Integrated home automation seamlessly incorporates technology into everyday routines, making homes smarter and more responsive to individual needs. These systems manage everything from lighting to security, emphasising a cohesive and intuitive experience that enhances comfort and convenience without unnecessary complexity.”

AI-driven personalisation, voice-controlled environments and invisible technology that integrates seamlessly with home design are setting new benchmarks in luxury home automation. The modern standard is smart systems that anticipate residents’ needs, providing effortless control over lighting, climate and security—all activated by a simple touch or voice command.

Arya says, “AI is propelling home automation toward predictive technology that intuitively meets user needs,” explains Arya. “Additionally, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are enhancing immersive home control experiences, allowing homeowners to visualize lighting changes and design spaces in real time. These innovations elevate interaction and customization in home automation to unprecedented levels.”

Luxury homeowners with purchasing capacity look to add a touch of contemporary living to their homes. They prefer technical wonders such as centralised control systems that manage lighting, climate, security, and entertainment through smartphones. AI-powered voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri have become integral to modern living, enabling users to control their smart devices with simple voice commands. This makes home automation more accessible and convenient than ever before.

“These centralised control systems rely on IoT (Internet of Things) technology, which connects devices and systems through a unified platform. Homeowners can easily manage everything from lighting to security via apps or smart hubs. The foundation of this technology includes wireless communication protocols, cloud computing and AI-driven interfaces,” he explains.

Smart Lighting, the New Buzzword

Talk of luxury living and thoughtful elements in smart lighting systems help in enhancing your lifestyle. Smart lighting systems include adaptive brightness settings, motion sensors and energy-efficient LED fixtures. Personalised lighting scenes, which adjust according to time of day or activity, add a touch of luxury while optimising energy use. Integration with natural light also plays a key role in both ambiance and efficiency.Aryaman Jain, CEO, Innovative Design Studio (IDS) curates an exclusive selection of lights that cater to design connoisseurs.
