How a smart home saves electricity
Electricity is becoming more expensive every year, and this item of expenditure is quite significant in the family budget. Innovative Smart Home systems allow you to effectively save costs
Description
The lion’s share of expenses goes to:
Lighting.
Heating
Technical devices
“Smart home” reduces the intensity of lighting, which over time leads to significant financial savings. Before you start installing the system, you should change all the incandescent lamps, replacing them with – LED.
Over time, LED devices will bring greater economic returns. The switches are changed to special units: dimmers that adjust the intensity of the light. It is also possible to use the digital unit to adjust the power of the device.
Saving electrical energy is associated with the rational use of powerful household appliances. The washing machine, for example, can work at night when the electricity rate is much lower than during peak hours.
Remote management
The same can be said about boilers that heat water. In line with the smart home program, motion sensors are installed in the electrical circuit, they regulate the switching off of lights in rooms, for example, such as:
Bathroom.
Corridor.
Kitchen.
Stairs.
The vestibule.
etc.
Sometimes electrical devices are connected to sockets in which relays are mounted. This can be beneficial, they can be turned off automatically at a given time. It is also possible to de-energize them using the app in your smartphone while out of the house.
One of the most important commands: “Turn off all”. You can send it from your smartphone, this will allow you to turn off the electricity in the house, with the exception of the alarm system and the power supply of the refrigerator.
It is especially effective to build heating management, it accounts for a significant part of the costs. The basis of control is thermal sensors, they control the set temperature in the rooms. Information in online mode is read by a digital controller that works according to a given algorithm.
Households that have central heating have difficulty regulating the temperature. Often, citizens living in these apartments, you feel uncomfortable. On the upper (or lower) floors, the temperature may be too high or too low, much of this depends on the incorrect operation of the circuit. Under such circumstances, windows are often opened even in frosty weather, or, conversely, additional heating devices are installed.
Climate control
Automatic control of the “Climate control” system allows you to reduce costs and at the same time efficiently heat the room. The whole system consists of blocks:
Air conditioning.
Ventilation.
Heating.
Underfloor heating.
The boiler.
Walls.
Heating unit.
It works according to the set program and reacts to the smallest deviations of temperature indicators.
As you can see, the control methods are simple and based on special sensors. Each of them is programmed for a specific temperature. There is also a built-in software that allows you to adjust the temperature in one room during the day.
