Smart Energy & Comfort — Automations That Pay You Back

Smart home enhancements can reduce energy costs and increase comfort—but only when automations match how your household actually lives.

Thermostats, Sensors, and Zoning

Consider:

• Smart thermostats paired with room sensors

• Zoning solutions for multi-story homes

• Smart vents (with caution—these can strain systems if done wrong)

• HVAC tune-ups before you “smartify” a struggling system

Lighting and Shade Control

Lighting is one of the best automation categories:

• Motion-based lighting for safety and convenience

• “Scenes” for evenings and entertaining

• Smart shades for heat management and privacy

Measuring Savings

Homeowners often benefit from:

• Energy monitoring to identify waste

• Scheduling to reduce peak usage

• Automations that prevent “always-on” behavior
