Does home automation investment ever redeem?
The possibilities of energy saving vary depending on the device you buy. To redeem your investment on home automation you may spend a lot of time or just a little but it will always depend on what you select.
Home automation devices
Some Smart devices directly help you to save energy and others don’t. For example, if you are changing your light bulbs for Smart ones, the investment may be high because of the number. But efficient light bulbs will help you save electricity if you configure them correctly.
More you use them, more you save
When you use your Smart devices more, you probably save more energy. In case you have a Smart plug to control your heating system, you can save money by using it regularly. You can turn on and off the heating system whenever you need it and start saving energy and money at the same time.
Big appliances are hard to redeem
Big appliances like a Smart oven, a dishwasher or a WiFi washing machine are harder to redeem in term of investment. They are more expensive than light bulbs, plugs or movement sensors. By setting them properly you can save some money and energy, for example with a dishwasher that you turn on or enable features only when you need them.
Some appliances are really not that useful. For example, a Smart oven is not that different from a normal one. You need to investigate and learn about its features to make the most out of them.
Some Smart devices only give you comfort not energy saving or money
Domotic is sometimes only a way to get more comfortable. You may end up buying a device for your house in order to control them remotely. Set them to link among them and save time in your daily life. You will automate tasks but there won’t be any saving in energy or money.
If you are seeking to save money and energy, you should really investigate which Smart devices to buy. Not every home automation feature is made to save energy or money, some are just for comfort.
