Energy Savings in a Smart Home
Energy savings are a pleasant bonus of a smart home. Thanks to smart wiring, your house can distinguish between low and high electricity tariffs and perform certain tasks only during the low tariff mode (typically heating water in the boiler or running the washing machine). In the application, you have a perfect overview of how much energy your house consumes at any given moment, and you can further adjust this information.
How do energy savings work in a smart home? There are several ways an intelligent house saves your wallet:
It doesn't waste
Automatic light switching ensures that lights are not left on in rooms where no one is present. If you forget to turn them off, the sensors will do it for you. Window sensors ensure that heat doesn't escape unnecessarily. If you open a window to ventilate, the heating turns off. And as soon as you close the window, heating returns to the original mode. Air conditioning vs. heating. The smart home will not allow these two to run simultaneously. This prevents misunderstandings and heat losses. Temperature settings for individual rooms ensure that if a room is not occupied, it is not overheated, and if it was winter – the system ensures the temperature is exactly as you wish.
It saves
Energy-saving bulbs and LEDs. When installing lighting, we ensure we use energy-saving bulbs, fluorescent lamps, and LEDs to save on lighting costs. Switching off unused devices. The system knows when appliances are not being used for a long time and turns them off completely. The device therefore consumes no current and saves your money. Overview of electricity consumption. Thanks to careful monitoring, you always have immediate data on current consumption and, thanks to this, can make decisions easily regarding which provider to choose or keep track of your annual spending. High vs. low tariff. Based on a predefined time for high and low tariffs, the system manages to shift some energy-intensive operations to the time when the tariff is low, and you subsequently save on electricity consumption.
It measures
With a smart home, you constantly have statistics on water, electricity, or gas consumption at hand. The system creates them based on its own measurements, can distinguish between low and high tariffs, and you keep a constant overview of energy expenses.
Smarteon Tip: Feel good about protecting nature
You can save hundreds to thousands of crowns annually on electricity, heat, or water consumption in a family home. However, equally important are the effects on the environment. Your smart home will alert you in time if a water accident occurs, for example, helping to save the amount of water that would otherwise rain on a flat roof for several months.
