Wipro Next Smart Wi-Fi 2-Node Retrofit Module for Indian Modular Switchboards
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: A module rather than a switch plate, which is the detail that matters in India. It hides inside the modular back box you already have and leaves your existing switches in place, so nothing about the wall changes and nobody in the house has to learn a new control. The imported plate-replacement switches it competes with are built to a US box standard that does not fit here at all.
Who should buy this
Anyone with a neutral wire at the switch who wants two circuits automated without changing the switchboard's appearance.
Who should avoid this
Anyone in an older building with no neutral at the switch -- a no-neutral Zigbee module is the alternative.
Key strengths
- Fits inside a standard Indian modular back box
- Existing switches keep working, so the household routine is unchanged
- Wipro's service network is nationwide
Limitations
- Requires a neutral wire at the switch, which many older Indian boards lack
- Wi-Fi rather than Zigbee, so app control drops during an internet outage
- 5 A per channel rules out geysers and air conditioners
