OFweek smart home network smart home smart home Although it has been on the tip of the wave of the industry, but for many people it is still a very fresh concept, at present, smart home still there is a certain controversy, based on the Internet of things connection intelligence The biggest feature of home equipment is the convenience of one-click control. What other compelling attributes are there? The answer is: energy savings.
Obviously, for the average family, energy saving is a sustainable way of life. Besides being able to save unnecessary expenses, it also has a positive effect on the entire environment and the ecosystem. Today, we will discuss how to use smart home devices to achieve a greener life that is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
one. Intelligent thermostat
Equipment and installation costs: about 1600 yuan
Estimated energy efficiency: about 20%/year
The intelligent thermostat can not only use the wireless remote control of the mobile phone, but also has intelligent learning function. When you leave home, you will automatically turn off the heating and cooling, and heat or cool ahead of time when you return home.
As the domestic living environment is predominantly apartment-style residential, the heating system is different from the HVAC air-conditioning or boiler-type uniform heating and cooling systems of American households. However, some homes that use independent heating can use smart thermostats instead of traditional thermostats, at least for an automated heating experience, and save about 20% in gas costs in the winter.
There is another alternative that is smart air-conditioning products introduced by domestic appliance manufacturers. They can use mobile phones to control them directly, avoiding the waste caused by forgetting to turn off the air conditioner. In general, there is still much room for development in the domestic market for intelligent temperature control.
two. Intelligent lighting
Equipment and installation costs: about 500 yuan
Estimated energy efficiency: about 80%/year
Intelligent lighting is the replacement of lamps and bulbs in the home with IoT products. Because these bulbs often use low-power LEDs, they have good energy-saving effects.
It should be noted that the purchase of smart light bulbs should not consider the Bluetooth standard products as much as possible. Although the price is low, but the Bluetooth connection distance is limited, it is not possible to check whether the home light is turned off and manipulated at any place like the WIFI product.
three. Smart socket
Equipment and installation costs: about 300 yuan
Estimated energy efficiency: about 16%/year
The convenience of smart sockets is to intelligentize all traditional household appliances, such as TVs, lamps, coffee machines, and so on. Their concept is actually very simple: the socket supports WIFI connection, which can be turned on or off remotely via a mobile phone, so the appliances plugged into the socket are naturally Internetized. This form can also achieve a certain energy-saving effect, the data display is about 16%, especially for TVs, lamps, air conditioners and other devices that are easy to forget and close.
The development of smart sockets is relatively rapid. In addition to some well-known brands, many domestic startup companies have also begun to develop related products. It is not difficult to find on various crowdfunding websites. Everyone can wait and see and choose products that suit them.
four. Smart Security Device
Equipment and installation costs: about 800 yuan
Estimated Energy Savings: Inestimable
Even in apartment houses, there are accidents such as fires, gas leaks, and burst water pipes. Domestic households are generally dual-employed. To a certain extent, an intelligent warning device is needed.
At present, smart smoke detectors in the market have been dominated by foreign brands, such as Nest Protect, Leeo SmartAlert, WallyHome, etc., installation is not complicated, basically only need to consider voltage compatibility (using a converter). Products like Leeo SmartAlert can be plugged directly into a wall outlet and have a night light function. The built-in sensor can monitor user actions and light up automatically. The WallyHome can be installed at all water pipes in the home and notify users when leaks are detected, minimizing accidental damage.
Fives. Smart drying
Equipment and installation costs: about 8,000 yuan
Estimated energy efficiency: about 20%/year
Due to the haze and air, more and more urban residents began to choose to dry clothes. Of course, whether it is a drum washing machine with its own drying function or an independent dryer, it can basically be said to be an "electric tiger". The electricity cost for drying one hour is not cheap. The washing machine with smart drying function is a good choice at this time.
The "smart" mentioned here is not the use of mobile phone remote drying, but some high-end models equipped with intelligent drying. These models often integrate sensors that detect moisture and can calculate the drying time more accurately, rather than simply following the user's preset criteria.
Obviously, making good use of smart home products will not only bring us a more convenient and comfortable life, but also energy saving and environmental protection. Of course, we hope that these products will become more intelligent in the future, through advanced autonomous algorithms to better save energy and help people achieve a more perfect green life.
