Eco Gadgets For The Home

The term “smart home” refers to a home equipped with a smart home system that automates specific tasks and is usually remotely controlled. With a smart home system, you will be able to program your sprinklers, set and monitor your security cameras and home security system, or control appliances such as your air conditioning and heating system.

How To Go Green In Your Home With A Smart Home System

Gone are the days when appliances became obsolete because they ran out of juice. Technology is achieving new heights, and the home automation market is expanding rapidly. Traditional AC units and central air systems can no longer keep up with these significant changes. For the sake of the environment and the next generation, it’s time to go green.

Most smart home devices can be utilized to save energy, even if they are not always energy efficient. You can control how and when smart appliances, lights, and a smart thermostat operate. You are, therefore, more likely to change your energy consumption habits when you have greater control over them.

Home automation customers are often trying to minimize their energy consumption and go green. One can reduce the overall energy bill of one’s home by using Automated Living’s products, lowering one’s carbon footprint. Automated Living utilizes Savant for all smart home automation system programs and apps.

In this article, we’ll discuss the various ways you can reduce energy consumption in an eco-friendly manner by way of a smart home system, including the following products:

  • Smart Lights and Automated Lighting Control
  • Smart Thermostat
  • Automated Shades
  • Automated HVAC

Smart Lights

The term “smart light bulb” refers to LED bulbs controlled by a smartphone, tablet, or home automation system. Automated Living uses Savant to integrate LED bulbs into automated home systems by way of WiFi.

Even though smart light bulbs are more expensive than regular LED bulbs or even traditional light bulbs, they consume less energy and can last as long as traditional LED bulbs (which is around 20 years). Depending on the brand, they may be available in a standard white color or color-changing feature.

The integration of smart light bulbs into smart homes can allow them to coordinate with other smart house devices.

The energy savings from installing smart bulbs make them even more efficient when connected to motion sensors or schedules. When a room is not in use, motion sensors will cause the lights to shut off automatically, lowering energy consumption.

Automated Lighting Control

Thanks to Wifi technology, smart LEDs don’t need wiring, a hub, or special electrical boards. Savant automated lighting technology allows users to save and customize individual light settings and memorize movement patterns and customization patterns. This allows for completed automated lighting control.

Using smart lighting technology enables excellent energy efficiency and minimal energy waste for every application because it remembers when to switch on and off, what temperature to operate at, and what brightness to operate at.

Smart Thermostat

Using a smart thermostat, you can learn what temperature suits your family and help to become more energy-efficient. Their energy consumption during peak periods of the day can be reduced, as well as your energy bills and carbon footprints.

Sensors and algorithms in a smart thermostat collect and analyze data about heating and cooling in order to run as energy-efficient as possible. While smart thermostats can still be adjusted manually, they can also recall your choices and remember how your household uses energy, which will lower your carbon footprint over time.

Automated HVAC Systems

Your HVAC system has a thermostat, which turns it on and off. The thermostat determines how much the HVAC system will provide cooling or heating in your home. Smart thermostats are capable of being automated. As a result, the machine is programmed to produce cool air when the indoor temperature reaches the set values.

Setting your home’s HVAC on an automated system allows for defined schedules to allow the running of units. This means you can set your home only to allow the air conditioner or heater to operate when people are present. You’ll no longer contribute to the wasting of fossil fuels by running your air conditioner inside an empty house most of the day.

It is energy-efficient for a heating and cooling system not to run longer than it should. A smart thermostat on top of a properly maintained system can enhance energy efficiency and save money at the same time.

Automated Shades

You can make your home more efficient by reducing the heat loss at night and controlling solar gain during the day by automating your shades with a smart home app integration (like Savant). By adding smart home technology, your blinds will be able to learn when to open and shut based on temperature and sun exposure, which will make your HVAC system as energy-efficient as possible.

Smart Security Systems

You receive more than an alert if a burglar attempts to break into your home with a smart security system. Using the internet, smart home security devices such as smart door locks, smart thermostats, and smart light bulbs, use your Wi-Fi network to communicate with entry sensors and sirens. As these devices are connected to one another, they can communicate with each other and integrate with your security system to enhance your convenience and security.

One of the most important features of a smart home security system is a mobile app that lets you remotely track your home. The app should allow you to view the live and recorded video if you have both indoor and outdoor security cameras, as well as smart video doorbells.

Other Green Technology Ideas

Integrating other resource-consuming appliances, like sprinkler systems, will also turn these applications more energy-efficient. Smart power strips and weatherizing your home can also help save money, and energy.
