The switches you know.
Your compatible wall switches and plate stay in place. You can still operate connected circuits from the wall.

Keep your switches. Add smart control.
A retrofit adds smart control to a home you already live in. A compact module sits behind a compatible switchboard, so you can keep your familiar switches and also control connected circuits from the Tixa app.
A smart upgrade.
Behind the scenes.
You don’t have to choose a new glass touch panel to add smart control. A retrofit module works behind a compatible existing switchboard.
A module behind the board.
An installer fits and connects the selected module inside the switchboard box, where there is suitable space and wiring.
More ways to control.
Use the Tixa app, supported scenes and schedules. Voice control is available with compatible products and assistant setup.
Illustrations explain the concept. They are not product photographs or wiring diagrams.
WHAT DOES “4 SWITCH” MEAN?Count the circuits.
Count the circuits.
Choose the control.
A switch channel controls a connected circuit. Choose a model with enough switch channels and any dedicated fan control you need.
LPF and NEXA are module ranges. The listed switch count, fan control and electrical ratings help Tixa match the right model to your room.
A SWITCHBOARD EXAMPLECompare retrofit configurations
Four separate on/off controls.
An LPF 4-switch module can control four compatible circuits independently. One circuit could be a group of ceiling lights; the next could be a wall light. Four switches means four circuits, not necessarily four bulbs.

BEFORE WE INSTALL
Will it fit my home?
Tixa checks the switchboard and connected loads before confirming your model and quotation.
- Space behind the plateThe box needs room for the module and its wiring.
- Wiring and neutralRequired wiring, neutral availability and wiring condition are checked.
- Lights, appliances and fansThe module must suit the actual load and fan type. A relay’s amp rating alone does not confirm appliance compatibility.
- ConnectivityNetwork coverage and any app, hub or voice-assistant requirements are confirmed for the chosen setup.
Does retrofit mean no rewiring?
It means upgrading an existing installation. Where the wiring and switchboard are suitable, a module can be added behind the board. Some homes need electrical changes or a deeper box. Tixa confirms the work required after assessment.
Start with one room.
Send us a photo of the front of your switchboard and tell us which lights, fans or appliances you want to control. An installer can assess the wiring behind it.
Choose with confidence.
Retrofits: start with your existing switchboard
Keep compatible manual switches and add smart control behind the board. Ask your installer to check neutral availability, wiring, box space and appliance loads for the selected module.
Pro / LPF: 1-switch supports one normal or heavy-duty load; 2-switch supports one normal plus one heavy-duty; 4-switch supports three normal plus one heavy-duty; 6-switch supports five normal plus one heavy-duty. Nexa is for normal switch loads.
For a bathroom, list the light, exhaust and geyser separately. For a bedroom, list each lighting circuit and heavier appliance. Mention any circuit operated from two switch locations.
A LITTLE CLARITYBefore you
Before you
make the switch.
When does installation time start?
Installation timing is confirmed after site assessment. Any installation estimate starts once products are delivered and the site is ready. It excludes order processing, supplier dispatch and delivery time. Dispatch, delivery and installation dates are confirmed separately.
Can I automate my existing home?
Often, yes. Retrofit controls can work behind compatible existing switchboards. An electrician needs to check wiring, neutral availability, box depth and appliance loads before we confirm the scope.
Do I need Wi-Fi or a hub?
Compatible Wi-Fi products connect to your home network. Zigbee devices require a compatible hub. We confirm the network, hub and power requirements for the exact products in your quotation.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Physical controls remain available. Local app control depends on the device and a working local network. Remote access, voice assistants and cloud-based functions may need an internet connection.
Where can I book an installation?
We arrange installation in Hyderabad. For other cities, contact us about product supply and installation requirements. Availability, delivery and charges are confirmed before you order.
How much will my setup cost?
Your quotation depends on the selected models, switchboard layouts and installation scope. We set out product, delivery and installation charges before you order. Trade pricing is shared directly with eligible business enquiries.
