Remotely monitor and manage your home and cut down on your monthly bills and resource usage
Heat your home efficiently
Smart thermostats like the Nest use sensors, real-time weather
forecasts, and the actual activity in your home during the day to
reduce your monthly energy usage by up to 30%, keeping you more
comfortable, and offering to save you money on your utility bills.
Make sure the oven is off
Smart outlets like the WeMo allow you to instantly turn on and
off any plugged in device from across the world or just your living
room. Save money and conserve energy over time by eliminating standby
power, measure and record the power usage of any device, and increase
its operating lifespan through more efficient use and scheduling.
Track down those lost keys
You can easily track down those lost keys or cell phone in
your house using Bluetooth and other wireless technology devices like
the Cobra Tag..
Light your home in new ways
Web enabled lights like the Phillip's Hue can be used as an
ambient data displays (Glow red when my bus is 5 minutes away). These
multi-functional lights can also help you to reduce electricity use
(automatically turn off the lights when no one is in a room) or help to
secure your home while you are away by turning your lights on and off.
Avoid Disasters
Using a device like the Ninja Block and its range of add-on
sensors you can track if a water pipe has burst in your basement, if
there is motion inside your home while you are away, and have it
automatically send you a notification by email or text message when it
happens.
Keep your plants alive
Whether taking care of a small hydroponic system or a large
backyard lawn, systems like HarvestGeek with their suite of sensors and
web connectivity help save you time and resources by keeping plants fed
based on their actual growing needs and conditions while automating
much of the labor processes.
