Smart Home and Electricity

Save smart without sacrificing comfort

More smart homes are being built all the time, and older houses and homes are also being equipped with smart devices that provide convenience, energy savings, and security. By acquiring smart devices, you can automate and remotely control your home’s functions. Some of your current devices can also be made smart, remotely controlled, or automated by adding separate smart plugs, switches, and other controlling devices.

Some smart devices are primarily focused on usability and comfort, while others offer greater potential for saving on energy consumption. The most essential devices for energy and cost savings are those related to heating, such as smart thermostats and heat pumps. Other machines and devices that can save energy with smart control include electric vehicles and solar panels/inverters.

Many devices, many controls and a lot to manage

In addition to smart devices, there are also numerous environments designed to control them. For example, Google and Apple have their own ecosystems, and there are also various environments created by different device manufacturers around home automation (ABB, Wiser, KNX, AJAX, Control4, DALI, DMX, etc.). And that’s just scratching the surface, as the market offers brands like ZIGBEE, Tuya, Aqara, Ecobee, Tado, Shelly, Cozify, IKEA, LG, and Samsung. It doesn’t help that each has its own management and control environment, which may not be compatible with others.

With so many management and control environments, and smartphones and tablets filled with different apps, managing and automating the entire system becomes challenging. That’s why we at Vihreä Älyenergia designed and developed the Älyenergia app. Its goal is to create a system that is understandable, manageable, and controllable. With the Älyenergia app, you can control multiple devices, integrate electricity market price information with device automation, and receive tips and insights on what impacts your everyday energy consumption. And most importantly, how the overall system affects your electricity bill.

What smart devices should you get for controlling a smart home?

There are so many smart devices available. That’s why it’s important to focus on which devices and ecosystems are compatible with each other. We recommend devices that are compatible with the Älyenergia app. Here, you can explore the devices and environments that work seamlessly with Älyenergia.
