Minimise Your Energy Waste at Home

We all want to do our part to help the environment in some way, no matter how small. These days, most of us are concerned with how much our natural resources are being wasted.

The good news is that using home automation, you can do your part without sacrificing your home comforts. You can enjoy your home while minimising energy waste and energy bills, so it's a win for you and a win for the planet.

Whether you have one or two home automation devices, or you've gone all out and automated everything you can, every little bit helps.

Climate Control

While a smart thermostat can automate your climate control, you can boost the savings by combining it with the right window coverings.

External roller shutters or awnings, and internal blinds or curtains can cut your energy bills significantly by drastically reducing heat loss in winter, and keeping your home comfortably cool in summer.

Combine the two to work together, whether you're home or not, and you can save a lot of energy.

Lighting

Everyone is guilty of occasionally leaving the lights on unnecessarily, or even leaving them on when you leave the house.

Home automation can help you in this department. You can use sensors to turn them on automatically when you enter or leave a room, you can use timers to operate them at certain times, or you can use voice control or app control to take your home automation to the next level.

Somfy's Connexoon Window RTS is compatible with Phillips Hue lighting, allowing you to turn your lights on and off, or set them on schedules, whether you are at home or away.

Security

Forget about leaving the lights, radio and television on all day to prevent intruders - there's an easier way to deter burglars with home automation.

Using the scenario feature on Connexoon Window RTS, you can set your window coverings to open and close at different times of the day and turn lights on and off to mimic activity and deter burglars while you're away from home!
