Parth Shah, Co-Founder of Smart Node, shares how the homegrown brand is building intuitive, reliable, and design-led automation solutions tailored for Indian homes. With a strong focus on seamless integration, local infrastructure, and user-friendly experiences, he discusses the brand’s evolving ecosystem, latest innovations, and what to expect from their showcase at Smart Home Expo 2026.
As a leading homegrown smart home brand, what solutions or technologies has Smart Node developed specifically for the Indian market?
At Smart Node, our approach has always been rooted in how India lives. Homes here are diverse, dynamic, and often evolving. So we focus on building solutions that are reliable, adaptable, and easy to use.
We have developed a complete ecosystem covering lighting, security, and control, designed to work seamlessly within Indian electrical conditions and infrastructure. Our systems are built to be stable even with voltage fluctuations and network inconsistencies.
More importantly, we simplify the experience. The goal is not to add complexity, but to make everyday living more comfortable and intuitive.
Alongside this, our ecosystem is supported by infrastructure hosted on Indian servers, which helps us maintain better control over system performance and data handling within the country’s regulatory framework.
Could you tell us about the new solutions Smart Node will be showcasing at Smart Home Expo 2026?
This year, we are introducing our Cosmos Keypads and Digital Door Lock range, both designed with a strong focus on usability and design.
Cosmos Keypads bring together tactile control with a refined aesthetic. The idea began with a simple gap we noticed; there were hardly any well-designed metallic keypads in the Indian market. In spaces where every detail is carefully chosen, control interfaces often felt like an afterthought. Cosmos was our way of changing that, crafted to fit standard Indian electrical boxes while offering a more premium, thoughtful interaction with everyday functions. Alongside this, our digital locks are built for everyday convenience and security, with integration into the home automation system to enable a smoother and more connected experience.
We are also continuing to strengthen our DALI lighting solutions, offering more precise control and better integration for modern spaces.
Apart from the new solutions, which existing solutions will you be displaying at the Expo?
We will be showcasing our complete range of home automation solutions, including:
- Smart panels and touch interfaces
- Mobile and voice-based control systems
- Integrated lighting and curtain automation
- Security and surveillance integration
Our focus at the Expo is to demonstrate how all these elements come together as one seamless system rather than isolated products.
What are your latest innovations in Lighting Automation and Security Solutions?
In lighting, our work with DALI has allowed us to offer more precise control over brightness, scenes, and energy usage. It gives designers and homeowners the flexibility to create the right ambience while maintaining efficiency. Alongside this, Cosmos Keypads enhance the lighting experience by offering intuitive, tactile control with a refined interface.
On the security side, we are integrating access control, surveillance, and alerts into a unified experience. The idea is to make security feel effortless, where everything works quietly in the background but is always accessible when needed.
Could you share your experience and association with Smart Home Expo over the years?
Smart Home Expo has been an important platform for us. It brings together the right mix of professionals, especially system integrators and channel partners.
Over the years, it has helped us not only showcase our work but also understand how the market is evolving. Each edition gives us valuable insights and meaningful conversations that shape how we move forward. It has also played a significant role in our B2B network growth, helping us build a strong channel base of 250+ partners and consistently connecting us with the right people.
