About

AN ENGINEERING
COMPANY, NOT A SKU.

DUMLAB builds the hardware, the firmware and the cloud underneath it — because a switch is only as good as the engineering nobody sees.

// MISSION

LOCAL-FIRST, BY DEFAULT

Smart home hardware for Indian homes shouldn't depend on someone else's server staying up. DUMLAB exists to make local control the default, not the fallback.

MISSION

Make local-first the obvious choice for smart home hardware in India.

VISION

A full ecosystem of DUMLAB devices sharing one firmware core and one cloud, run by us.

PHILOSOPHY

Every fix on the repair bench becomes a design decision on the next PCB.

// JOURNEY

STARTED REPAIRING.
NOW BUILDING.

DUMLAB began on a repair bench — hunting down dead motherboards, corrupted drives and flaky routers across Delhi NCR. Every fix taught us something about how consumer electronics actually fail in Indian homes, on Indian grids. Eventually the question changed from “what’s broken?” to “why was this built to break?” That question became the Relay Mini — and the same lab still does both jobs today.

Era OneRepair Lab

PCs, MacBooks, data recovery, networking, CCTV — hands-on diagnostics across Delhi NCR.

Era TwoHardware Lab

Circuit design, firmware and cloud infrastructure for the Relay Mini and beyond.

Dual-Board Layout

STATUSPRODUCTION ACTIVE

Traditional smart switchboards bury everything on one board. We split the mains electronics from the user-facing controls, connected by a simple interconnect, so the face can be replaced without an electrician.

Validation Parameters
Separate mains-side board and front UI board
High-voltage clearance creepage barriers
Impedance-aware 2.4GHz RF antenna path
I2C-expanded input for tactile switches + LEDs
LAB INSIGHT

Indian wall boxes are tight, dusty and hot. Splitting the boards means the part that fails first is the part that's cheapest to replace.
