Unreliable internet
Cloud-dependent systems go dark the moment the link drops. Fibre coverage is patchy and mobile backhaul is inconsistent across most developments.
Smart home infrastructure · Pakistan
Smart-ready homes, built into every project.
Switchonix helps builders and developers differentiate their residential projects with smart home technology embedded during construction — engineered to work on Pakistan's power and internet realities, not Silicon Valley's.

The problem
Most smart home systems fail in Pakistan.
They're designed for Western infrastructure: always-on fibre, stable grid power, timber-frame walls. Drop that hardware into a Pakistani development and residents get an expensive feature that stops working in week one.
Frequent power cuts
Load-shedding and voltage swings reboot hubs, corrupt state and leave residents locked out of their own switches.
Concrete that kills signal
Reinforced concrete and thick block walls absorb 2.4GHz wireless. Single-hub systems designed for drywall simply can't reach the far bedroom.
Our solution
A local-first architecture that assumes nothing.
A central hub plus per-room controllers form a self-healing mesh inside the home. Lights, locks and sensors keep working through outages and dead internet. The cloud is an optional layer for remote access — never a dependency.
Everything decided inside the home
Automation logic, schedules and device state live on the hub. Room controllers hold their own fallback rules, so even an isolated node keeps switching its circuits correctly. Wireless hops from room to room instead of fighting through concrete to a single point.
- Local automation engine
- Room-to-room mesh routing
- Offline locks & sensors
- Optional cloud access
Built for construction
Integrated, not retrofitted
We work off your electrical drawings and install alongside your wiring contractor — so handover is a finished smart home, with no visible add-on hardware.
How it works
Three layers, installed during construction.
The system goes in with the wiring — at rough-in stage, not after handover.
Switchonix Hub
The central brain, installed in the electrical panel. Stores all automation logic locally and runs the mesh — no cloud dependency.
Room controllers
One controller behind the switch plate of each room. Local control, local decisions, and a mesh repeater in every space.
Connected devices
Lights, switches, sensors and door locks wired in during construction — nothing retrofitted, nothing visible.

For builders & developers
A premium differentiator with a line-item cost.
Smart-ready units sell faster and command a higher price. Switchonix makes that upgrade a predictable per-home cost inside your existing construction schedule.
Differentiate your project
Smart-ready becomes a headline feature in your sales material, not an afterthought buyers add themselves.
A premium SKU
Offer smart-ready units at a higher price point across the same floor plans, and capture margin on the upgrade.
Predictable unit cost
Roughly $200–280 per home in integration cost, quoted per unit type so your budgeting stays clean.
Scales across unit types
The same hub-and-controller architecture covers studios through duplexes, from 20 units to 2,000.
Reliability
Engineered for the worst day, not the demo day.
Resilience is the product. Every design decision assumes the grid and the link will fail.
Outage resilient
The hub and controllers ride through load-shedding on backup power and restore exact state instantly — no reconfiguration.
Fully offline capable
Every automation, schedule and scene executes on-premises. Cloud connectivity is optional convenience, never a requirement.
Self-healing mesh
If a room node fails, neighbouring nodes re-route around it automatically. No single point of failure in the home.
Vision & roadmap
Pakistan first. The Gulf next.
Now
Rolling out across Pakistan
Deploying with residential developers in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, with installation teams trained alongside builder wiring contractors.
Next
Expanding to Gulf markets
The same offline-first architecture maps directly onto GCC concrete construction and large multi-tower developments — our next growth region.
