Smart Home Energy Management, Without the Gimmicks
A short list of devices that genuinely affect consumption, and several that do not.
Connected devices save energy only when they change behavior or automate a decision a person would otherwise forget.
Worth the money
- Smart thermostats with occupancy-based schedules
- Whole-home energy monitors at the panel
- Smart plugs on space heaters and dehumidifiers
- Leak sensors near water heaters, which prevent costly damage
Mostly convenience
Connected bulbs, voice assistants and app-controlled outlets on low-draw electronics rarely move the needle on a monthly bill.
