The Onwords Standard

Chaos vs.
Coherence.

Most "smart" homes are a headache of 10 different apps and gadgets that don't talk to each other.

We build a single, living system. One app. One team. One seamless experience.

Unified OS

Not a patchwork of apps. One single operating system for your lights, gates, security, and media.

One Team

No passing the buck. We handle design, wiring, installation, and support. Total accountability.

Apple Home

The best mobile experience in the world. Native control from your iPhone Control Center.

Privacy First

Your data stays in your home. We don’t sell your habits. Local processing by default.

Pro Grade

We use wired automation (KNX/DALI) where possible for 100% reliability, not cheap Wi-Fi bulbs.

Lifetime Care

We build relationships, not just projects. Ongoing support and updates for years.

FAQ — Smart Home Automation With Onwords

Common questions about our smart home, gate automation, and KNX services across Chennai, Coimbatore, and Bengaluru

Onwords Living Homes currently operates in Chennai, Coimbatore and Bengaluru with a headquarters in Coimbatore. We also take on selected projects across Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

Smart home automation budgets typically start from ₹1.5 lakhs for a 2 or 3 BHK apartment and can go up to ₹20 lakhs or more for large villas, depending on size, finish level, number of rooms and the automation scenes required.

Yes. Onwords started with gate automation in 2019 and has completed more than 6,000 gate automation projects alongside 400+ smart home installations across South India.

Yes. Our smart home backbone is fully Apple Home and Matter protocol compatible, so you can add future devices from any Matter-certified brand without rebuilding the system.

Wired systems like KNX use dedicated cables and are ideal for new construction — they offer superior reliability, zero interference, and 25+ year lifespan. Wireless systems use WiFi, Zigbee or Thread protocols and are better for retrofitting existing homes without rewiring. Onwords recommends wired KNX for new villas and wireless for existing homes.

For a new construction with pre-wiring, the complete smart home setup takes 2 to 4 weeks after civil work is complete. Retrofitting an existing home with wireless automation typically takes 3 to 7 days depending on the number of rooms and devices.

KNX is a worldwide open standard (ISO/IEC 14543) for home and building automation. Unlike WiFi-based systems, KNX uses a dedicated bus cable that operates independently of your internet. This means your lights, curtains, and climate control work even during WiFi outages. KNX systems have a proven lifespan of 25+ years.

Absolutely. Onwords offers wireless retrofit solutions using Zigbee, Thread, and WiFi-based smart modules that fit behind existing switch boards. No civil work or rewiring is needed.

Matter is a universal smart home standard backed by Apple, Google, Amazon, and Samsung. It ensures devices from different brands work together seamlessly. Onwords builds Matter-ready homes so your automation system is future-proof and not locked into any single brand ecosystem.

Yes. Every Onwords installation comes with a warranty and post-installation support. We offer annual maintenance contracts and our support team can remotely diagnose and fix most software issues. For hardware concerns, our service team covers Chennai, Coimbatore, and Bengaluru.

Onwords works with premium international brands including KNX-certified devices, Apple HomeKit accessories, Aqara sensors, Ajax security systems, DALI-2 lighting controllers, and Matter-certified products.

Onwords is one of the few companies in South India that handles everything from gate automation to full smart home installations with a single team. With 6,000+ gate projects, 400+ smart homes, and expertise in KNX, Apple Home, and Matter protocol, we offer end-to-end solutions — one team from gate to bedroom.
