What do you think is the major cause of concern amongst today’s home dwellers? There may be many, but one that comes at the top is rising electricity bills. Rising bills is pushing many people in cities and towns to rethink how they can minimise their monthly bills. What if you could adjust the lighting and the temperature of your space without lifting a finger? Of course, you will have to lift the finger, but just for pushing a button that will switch off the light when there is no one in the rooms or cool the rooms that you want to.
In the following piece, we will try to understand the functioning of automated lighting and climate control- how they assist in saving energy, thus providing you with the best solutions without burning a hole in your pocket.
Why Smart Automation Matters?
Often, traditional homes waste energy even without us realising.
- AC and lights running for long durations at a stretch when you are not at home.
- Heating systems warming or cooling your entire house instead of just the ones where you are.
With Smart Home Automation, you can easily take care of these problems and reduce energy waste by a significant amount. Automated homes make optimum use of sensors, schedules, and smart controls that consume energy only when it is needed, without compromising on your comfort.
How Automated Lighting Helps Save Energy?
Overuse of electricity might add to large electricity bills in the long run. Look at this situation…
Mr. Sharma was a bachelor living in a nice 2-bedroom flat. Being a very busy employee in the corporate sector, he often forgot to switch off his AC and lights while leaving the house. His electricity bill over the months skyrocketed. It was after that, that he decided to switch to smart home automation.
He could see the difference in just a month. His bills were reduced by a considerable amount. Mr. Sharma is a happy man now. In fact, he recommends switching to smart home automation to everyone he meets.
Let us look at some of the products and services home automation offers:
- Motion Sensors: What motion sensors do is quite simple. They detect if someone is present in a room or not and work accordingly. If it detects a presence, it switches the lights on and switches them off when no one is present.
- Harvesting Daylight: One can go for daylight harvesting, during which the lights get turned off by themselves during daytime when there is enough sunlight.
- LED + Smart Bulbs: When you decide to choose energy-efficient LED bulbs/smart bulbs, you save money on bills when compared to traditional bulbs.
- Scheduling: You can schedule a time when you want the lights to turn on or off by themselves. For instance, when you are coming back home after a long day, you can switch the air conditioner on just before reaching the house.
Thanks to such technologies, many homes with smart lighting see significant reductions in energy consumption and electricity costs.
Smart Climate Control: Heating & Cooling Smarter
For many homes, especially the ones with hot summers and cool winters- Delhi for instance, climate and energy wastage control is one of the biggest concerns. Smart home automation, very smartly solves this problem. Regular usage of high-energy consumption products like AC in summer and heating systems in winter can be controlled by automating them.
Fun Fact- In Delhi NCR alone, people who switched to home automation saved up to 30% in the month of February.
Combined Impact: Lighting + Climate + Intelligence
A centralised smart home system offers a 3 in 1 solution. Smart lighting + Temperature Control + Intelligent Audio Systems = 3 times Happy You. Here are some of the benefits.
- Less Electricity Bills- When you save on both HVAC and lighting, you save a great amount.
- Less Environmental Footprint: You fulfill your share of responsibility when you switch to smart homes. Using less energy means lesser carbon emissions and better sustainability.
- Increased Comfort & Convenience: Smart homes increase your comfort to a great extent. You get permanent respite from manually switching on and off.
