A smarthome isn't only convenient, it can also save you money in the long run with energy efficiency improvements.
There’s plenty of novelty in the smart home. Not long ago, casually telling a computer to tweak the lights or adjust the temperature was straight out of sci-fi. It’s not all about flash, though. There are real efficiencies you can enjoy with a kitted-out home that translate into saved dollars and cents. With sensors all over the place and the ability to run automations on your home appliances, you can ensure you’re never using more power than you absolutely need to.
Solar energy It’s easy to see solar power panels as the original smart home device. With some up-front investment and intelligent controllers, your home energy grid can be optimized to the point where you’re barely paying a service provider. In our examination of smart plugs’ ability to reduce power usage, we came to the conclusion that you really need to use these on outlets with the heaviest demand. Small appliances have a nearly insignificant power draw, even when you put them all together.
Water With droughts occurring with greater frequency, keeping tabs on your water usage isn’t just good for your bill, it’s good for the community sharing your supply. Smart water monitors are clever enough now to detect which faucets are turning on when, and to be able to detect leaks thanks to shifts in pressure at the source.
