by Huy Nguyen September 20, 2023

In today's busy world, who doesn't want added convenience? Home automation provides just that. With smart home tech, you can easily control devices with the tap of an app - whether adjusting your thermostat from the office or turning off lights remotely. The conveniences of smart homes are clear.

But smart homes offer more than convenience - they can significantly reduce energy use and environmental impact. Smart home tech provides solutions as climate change increases the need for sustainability.

The Energy Challenge in Canadian Homes

Modern life requires more energy consumption. With more gadgets and tech-heavy lifestyles, average household energy use has climbed. No wonder 73% of Canadian homeowners have seen electrical bills surge this past year in a study conducted by Schneider Electric. The good news? There are simple ways to cut these costs.

Smart home devices like energy monitors and smart switches give you control to identify and reduce waste. In that same study, 71% of homeowners want energy monitoring to pinpoint overuse. 63% want smart switches for easy control of lights and appliances.

Small smart home upgrades can lead to big energy savings. BAZZ Smart Home offers affordable, user-friendly products to monitor and manage electricity. With smart tech, take charge of bills and keep more money in your wallet.

The Role of Smart Home Automation

Smart home automation isn't just about luxury; it's a significant asset in energy management. Home automation can proactively reduce wastage by allowing various devices to communicate and collaborate.

Numerous devices and systems are dedicated to enhancing energy efficiency, from thermostats that adapt based on external temperatures to outdoor lights that switch off with sunrise, thanks to preset routines.

Smart Outlets and Their Automatic Power Management

Ever left the house and wondered if you left your charger on? With smart plugs and outlets, that's a worry of the past. These ingenious devices can detect and eliminate phantom power drains, ensuring that devices on standby aren't consuming unnecessary energy. Plus, with remote control capabilities, you can ensure devices are off even when you're miles away.

Creating a Unified Energy Strategy in Your Smart Home

The true energy-saving potential of a smart home lies in its seamless integration. Consider the concept of "scenes" – predetermined settings that trigger a sequence of device actions. Imagine a 'Good Morning' scene where your home lights up, security disarms, and all standby devices are powered down. It's not just efficient; it's smart living.
