How home automation can save you money

Investing in brand new energy efficient appliances may seem expensive at first, but within just a few years you could have made back the money from the savings on your annual energy bill. Especially if you invest in ultra-modern appliances that are connected and can communicate with one another.

KNX System

A KNX home automation system, for example, can allow your home lighting to become more intuitive. Rather than having to leave artificial lighting switched on when it is not in use – for example, if you leave a room and forget to turn it off, or you want to leave one on so you can see in the morning – the system can adjust the lights depending on your behaviour. A timer system can tell the lights when to turn on, turn off or dim to a low, energy saving light. The system can also communicate with blinds and shutters to allow sunlight into the home at a certain time of the day when it is bright enough that artificial sources of light are no longer necessary.
