Interested in automating your home, but wondering where to start? Smart products can be remotely managed from your phone, even when you’re out of the house. Products can be programmed to perform actions automatically based on your schedule, send alerts about performance issues before they become a big issue, and even adjust energy usage based on occupancy detection.
SMART THERMOSTATS
Heating and cooling consume more energy than any other appliance in the home, making smart thermostats the best candidate to help save energy within the household.
These devices offer the ability to monitor and adjust your home’s temperature, even when you are away. More importantly, they can be used to automatically turn down your heating and cooling when it’s not needed.
Saving energy and staying comfortable are easy with smart thermostats. The advanced technology can automatically create personalized schedules for your home based on temperature adjustments you’ve made. System alerts and service reminders will let you know if filters or batteries need to be changed, making it easier than ever to manage your HVAC system.
SMART LIGHTING
LEDs are the obvious choice for energy-efficient home lighting, but smart LED bulbs come with even more benefits. You can control the color and brightness of smart bulbs through apps, smart speakers and even smart in-wall light switches. No more losing sleep over lights left on while you’re away.
Not only do ENERGY STAR-certified smart light fixtures and light bulbs use 90% less energy than traditional incandescent light bulbs, they also help you when you forget to turn out the lights.
SMART APPLIANCES
Appliances are getting smarter, too. ENERGY STAR-certified appliances with connected functionality use less energy and offer new functions that can enable convenience and even more savings.
