\"\"Smart home devices aren\u2019t just for tech geeks anymore. They\u2019re for everyone.<\/p>\n

Maybe you have a spouse who would never be capable of installing them, but nonetheless would appreciate the benefits they offer.<\/p>\n

They could be a great way to score some points. And they offer plenty of energy savings benefits too.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s some ideas for giving smart devices as gifts this holiday season:<\/p>\n

1. Smart Assistants<\/strong><\/p>\n

This includes well-known devices like Amazon\u2019s Alexa and Google Home. For the energy savings benefits, set them up to control your lighting system, HVAC, blinds, or appliances, for example.<\/p>\n

And you know all about the other conveniences they offer.<\/p>\n

2. Smart Home Hubs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Basically a smart assistant with a graphical interface, smart home hubs make it easier to control all the devices around your home.<\/p>\n

You can control literally hundreds of devices with a smart home hub, which may be more versatility than a smart assistant offers.<\/p>\n

3. Smart Home Sensors<\/strong><\/p>\n

These less-discussed smart devices do more than you think. For example, they can detect an open door or open window and notify you of such.<\/p>\n

While this offers obvious security benefits, you can use that feature to increase your energy savings too.<\/p>\n

4. Smart Lights<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connect these to your smart hub, and it can analyze your need and usage patterns so you optimize your energy efficiency without having to control your lights yourself.<\/p>\n

You can also remotely control and program smart lights yourself, if you\u2019d rather do it that way.<\/p>\n

But either way, you have clear energy savings opportunities available.<\/p>\n

5. Smart Plugs<\/strong><\/p>\n

These devices turn any formerly non-smart device into a smart one. For example, an antique lamp from decades ago can now become a smart device simply by plugging into a smart plug.<\/p>\n

Smart plugs can be set up to work with your smart hub or any smart assistant.<\/p>\n

6. Smart Thermostats<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t discuss energy savings with smart devices without bringing up smart thermostats. They pay for themselves fast. And they increase your comfort…while decreasing your energy usage.<\/p>\n

7. Smart Kitchen Appliances<\/strong><\/p>\n

Control them with your hug or smart assistant and only run them when you need to. Make sure they\u2019re off so they\u2019re not vampires sucking electricity when not in use.<\/p>\n

Smart devices offer energy savings limited only to your personal ingenuity. Give the gift of convenience, and energy savings, this Christmas with a smart device your family member or friend appreciates.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
