Real-time Energy Dashboards

Smart meters and circuit-level monitors reveal the invisible currents of your home. You see which appliances sip or guzzle, in real time and historically, turning guesswork into action. Comment with your biggest energy shock discovery.

Solar and Storage Orchestration

When panels, batteries, and loads talk to each other, magic happens. Automation shifts heavy tasks to sunny hours, tucks away surplus, and cushions cloudy days. Tell us how your home balances solar abundance and evening comfort.

Climate Control Without Compromise

Modern thermostats learn your patterns, while variable-speed heat pumps deliver gentle, steady warmth. Together they avoid energy-hungry peaks and drafts. Post your best winter setpoint strategy that kept everyone happy without overspending.

Climate Control Without Compromise

Motorized dampers, smart radiators, and room sensors create microclimates. Heat the nursery, cool the office, and let unused rooms rest. This precision saves energy and arguments. Which room became your unexpected hotspot or cold corner?

Water Wisdom for Drier Footprints

Acoustic sensors and flow analytics spot pinhole leaks before they become disasters. Automatic shutoff valves stop the drip at the source. Tell us about the first time a sensor alert saved your flooring or peace of mind.

Everyday Automation Stories

When dawn hits the panels, blinds tilt open, water heats, and the dishwasher queues. One reader saw breakfast powered almost entirely by solar. How do you align chores with your home’s brightest hours?

Everyday Automation Stories

At sunset, lights dim warm, unnecessary plugs switch off, and laundry waits for greener grid signals. This gentle cadence lowers bills without nagging. What nightly ritual quietly trims your footprint?

EVs, Microgrids, and the Home That Gives Back

Vehicle to Home Resilience

Bi-directional charging turns an EV into a rolling battery. During storms, it powers essentials, then recharges when the sun returns. Tell us which circuits you would prioritize for a calm, resilient outage plan.

Choosing Platforms, Protocols, and Standards

Matter, Thread, and Zigbee help devices communicate without vendor lock-in, extending lifespans and cutting e-waste. A unified language means fewer hubs and better reliability. Which standard has served you best so far?

Choosing Platforms, Protocols, and Standards

Running automations on a local hub keeps routines snappy and resilient during internet hiccups. It also protects privacy. Share your favorite local-first platform and a rule you depend on every single day.
