Energy demand has nearly doubled in the past 30 years and continues to grow, driving up energy prices. Most electricity is consumed in homes and commercial buildings, yet consumers have little transparency into their energy usage. New home automation solutions can provide users with detailed and real-time information about their energy consumption at low costs. This allows users to better understand and control their usage, helping improve energy efficiency.
