Frequently asked questions

1. Do I need the internet for VAutomate to work?

No. Your home keeps running even if the internet goes down. All automations — lights, sensors, geyser control, water motor, routines — work locally inside your home. Internet is only needed for remote access when you’re away.

2. Is VAutomate compatible with future devices?

Yes. VAutomate is built on open, widely accepted communication standards.
Any compatible off-the-shelf device can be added without locking you to a single vendor.
Your system stays flexible, expandable, and future-proof.

3. Are your products proprietary or open?

We offer our own branded switches, sensors, and devices, designed specifically for smooth automation.
At the same time, the communication protocols we use are standard — which means you can add a wide range of third-party devices if you want.
No vendor lock-in. No restrictions.

4. Is installation available outside Karachi?

Yes. VAutomate provides on-site installation and technician support across Pakistan.
Whether you’re in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Hyderabad, Multan, or any city — we cover it.

5. Will VAutomate work with the devices I already own?

Most likely, yes.
VAutomate supports nearly all major smart ecosystems, so your existing products can be integrated into a single system.
Lighting, switches, sensors, cameras, speakers — everything can work together under one unified automation system.

6. Can I control everything from my phone?

Yes, but our goal is different:
You shouldn’t need your phone.
Your home should adjust automatically — lights turning on with presence, geysers heating on schedule, water motor running only when needed.
The app is there for control, but the automation is designed to run on its own.

7. What devices does VAutomate offer?

We have a complete in-house lineup:

• Smart switches

• Presence sensors

• Door and window sensors

• Temperature sensors

• Energy monitoring modules

• Complete automation server

• Geyser + water motor automation systems

All designed to work together flawlessly.

8. How much energy can I save?

Most homes save 25–40% on electricity.
Automation reduces wastage from lights, ACs, geysers, and motors — the biggest energy consumers in Pakistani homes.

9. What happens if electricity goes out?

When power returns, the system automatically restores state and continues your automations.
No resetting. No manual fixes. No disruption.

10. Can I expand later?

Absolutely.
Start with one room and scale up to the entire home at any time.
Every VAutomate setup is designed for clean, gradual expansion.

11. Is it safe and secure?

Yes.
Because everything runs locally inside your home, your data doesn’t leave your house.
No cloud dependency, no external access, no privacy risks.

12. Is VAutomate suitable for builders and developers?

Yes.
Builders who offer smart homes sell faster, at higher value, and attract premium buyers.
Our systems are stable, local, and upgradeable — ideal for new construction or renovations.
