Yes. Beakn’s app uses your city’s exact sunrise and sunset times, which shift by approximately 90 minutes across the year in Indian cities. Outdoor lights, puja room lights, curtains, and balcony lighting can all be tied to actual sunrise/sunset instead of fixed clock times. In Hyderabad, sunrise ranges from 5:45 AM (June) to 6:45 AM (December). Beakn adjusts automatically every day — no manual editing needed. → Products: All Smart Switches, Motorized Curtains

Beakn’s system adjusts AC temperature and fan speed together based on room temperature from built-in sensors. The average bedroom temperature in Indian cities drops 3-5°C between midnight and 5 AM. Beakn reduces AC cooling as the room naturally cools, then increases fan speed to compensate — so you sleep comfortably without waking up to adjust anything. An AC that runs 8 hours at constant 22°C uses approximately 12 units. With Beakn’s auto-adjustment, consumption drops to an estimated 8-9 units — a 25-30% overnight reduction. → Products: IR Blaster with Temperature Sensor, Smart Switches 

Yes. This is Beakn’s most-used feature. Set a 20-minute auto-off timer on any switch. The timer activates regardless of how the switch was turned ON — app, voice, schedule, or physical wall toggle. Based on an average 3kW geyser running for 2 hours unnecessarily (compared to the 20 minutes actually needed), auto-off saves approximately ₹1,500-2,000 per month in electricity. That single feature pays for the switch (₹648-936) in the first month. → Products: NEXA Retrofit from ₹648, LPF Retrofit from ₹936

The Beakn app tracks how long any switch has been ON. Set a threshold — for example, 8 hours for an AC. When the appliance exceeds that duration, you get an alert on your phone and on WhatsApp. You decide whether to turn it off manually or let the system do it automatically. → Feature: Included with every switch, no extra cost

Yes. With a Beakn humidity sensor, the system automatically adjusts your indoor environment based on real-time humidity levels. When air becomes too dry in winter, the system reduces fan speed or triggers a humidifier. During monsoon season, when humidity spikes above 75% and threatens wooden furniture and electronics, the system can trigger the dehumidifier automatically — running only when needed, not on a wasteful 24-hour schedule. → Products: [Sensors](/sensors/), [Smart Switches](/smart-switches/)

Yes. Beakn’s Routine feature runs multi-step sequences at specific times on specific days. Example: Monday-Friday at 6:15 AM, geyser ON. At 6:30 AM, kitchen light ON. At 6:45 AM, curtains OPEN. At 7:00 AM, geyser OFF. Weekends skipped automatically. The average Indian family performs 7-10 manual switch operations every morning. Beakn reduces this to zero. Set up once, runs every weekday without intervention. → Feature: [See all automation features →](/app-features/switches/)

A scene groups multiple switch actions into one trigger. Example: “Movie Scene” turns off the main light, sets accent light to 30%, fan speed to 2, TV ON, set-top box ON, curtains CLOSE — all with one tap. Scenes can be triggered from the app, a physical wall switch, an NFC sticker, or a voice command. The average living room has 6-8 separately controlled circuits. Without scenes: 6-8 individual actions. With scenes: one tap, 2 seconds, done. → Feature: [See Scenes in detail →](/app-features/switches/)

Beakn’s gas sensor (connected via Zigbee to the Sensor Hub at ₹744) detects LPG and natural gas leaks. The automated response triggers within seconds: the entire family receives WhatsApp alerts simultaneously, the exhaust fan turns ON automatically, and motorized curtains open for ventilation. India records approximately 1,100 LPG-related fire incidents annually. Automated detection and response eliminates the critical delay between detection and human action. → Products: [Sensors](/sensors/), [Sensor Hub](/smart-hub/)

Yes. Beakn’s microwave motion sensor (₹660) detects human presence — not just movement. Lights turn ON when someone enters and OFF after 5 minutes of no detected presence. The average Indian bathroom light stays on 45 minutes per forgotten incident. With 3 bathrooms and 2 forgotten incidents per day, that is 4.5 hours of wasted lighting daily — approximately ₹200-300 per month. Motion sensors eliminate this entirely. → Products: [Motion Sensor (₹660)](/sensors/), [Wardrobe Sensor (₹329)](/sensors/)

Lock Mode turns off all enrolled non-essential appliances with one tap before you leave. If anyone manually toggles a locked switch while you are away, you get an instant alert. The average Indian household wastes 15-20% of electricity on appliances left running in unoccupied rooms. Lock Mode eliminates this waste and adds security monitoring. → Feature: Included with every switch

Yes. Beakn sends voltage warnings, gas leak alerts, running hours notifications, and a daily home summary through WhatsApp. The average Indian smartphone user checks WhatsApp 23-28 times per day. App push notifications have a 3-5% open rate. WhatsApp messages have a 95%+ read rate. By sending critical alerts through WhatsApp, Beakn ensures you actually see them. → Feature: Included free, no subscription

Yes. Group multiple lights — ceiling, panel, cove, accent — into one logical group. Adjust brightness and color temperature for the entire room with one slider. Presets: Reading Mode (bright, cool), Movie Mode (dim, warm), Sleep Mode (minimal). Works with Smart CCT Drivers from ₹624. → Products: [Smart LED Drivers](/smart-led-drivers/), [Smart Switches](/smart-switches/)

Beakn’s Smart Plugs (₹719) continuously monitor power factor. A healthy AC compressor maintains power factor above 0.85. When it drops below 0.8, you receive an alert. Early servicing costs ₹1,500-2,500. A burned-out compressor replacement costs ₹8,000-15,000. Power factor monitoring catches the problem 3-6 months before failure. → Product: [Smart Plug 16A (₹719)](/smart-plugs/)
