It also helps our environment
The world today is at a crucial point of striving to achieve energy savings and replacing hardware with new more energy efficient devices. IoT is at the forefront of this revolution, providing smart solutions in everyday life.
Since the introduction of IoT into the smart home industry the energy management has been transformed. The use of smart devices has led to reducing costs and achieving less environmental impact.
Environmental Impact
There is a wide range of devices that belong to the IoT family and are contributing to the change.
Smart thermostats are small but powerful IoT devices that learn household patterns and adjust heating and cooling. By optimizing these settings that are based on occupancy patterns, smart thermostats can generate up to 10 % savings on energy bills.
Another example would be automated lighting systems. This smart IoT solution is capable of adjusting light brightness based on natural lighting patterns as well as turning the lights off whenever a room is unoccupied. The energy savings from this solution can range from 7 to even 27%. And that’s savings from lighting alone.
Energy-efficient appliances are yet another example of smart devices that can turn the tide of the struggle for energy efficiency. Smart refrigerators and washing machines optimize their operation based on energy demand. Furthermore, these devices are able to schedule usage during low rates off-peak usage hours.
The above-mentioned devices are a game changer in reducing households’ carbon footprint. It might seem irrelevant in comparison to the footprint that industry or transportation generates but imagine millions of homes that would shift to these kinds of solutions. That would certainly generate enormous savings and have a positive impact on the climate.
Mill
Mill is an example of applying smart IoT solutions to home grounds. Their smart heaters, sockets and heat pumps are not only great for managing heating and cooling but also allow remote control using a dedicated app. In order to manage the power bills Mill app allows to track the energy usage of all Mill devices under the user’s control. Based on the data provided by the app it is possible to customize the heaters’ heating plan to achieve optimal savings. Apart from being cutting-edge IoT devices, Mill’s hardware also has the looks.

Meet Karen
It has been a busy winter day in the office for Karen. It is 16.00 and it is time to go home. Just a fast look at her Mill app to check the temperature in her apartment and she can go get into her car and make the 1 hour drive. Karen’s only dream now is sitting in her favorite chair with and diving deep into her favorite book series. But will it be cozy and warm in her living room? Well. Yes. Karen knows that her electricity provider charges the lowest wage in the evening so before she starts her drive home she turns on her Mill heaters using the app. She only needs to heat the living room, the other rooms are sufficiently warm. How does she know that? Because she sees the current temperature for all her rooms in the app. By the time she reaches home, her apartment will have the perfect condition. Moreover, the smart heaters will guarantee that the conditions in her apartment will always be spot on. The devices follow a weekly plan that he has set up in the app and every weekday after 16.00 her living room will have the perfect temperature.
