Efficient home: the home automation you need to achieve it

Home automation can be the perfect solution for home energy efficiency, thanks to effective energy management. One of the advantages is the great economic savings, in addition to being something very positive for the environment. In this post we will tell you how Censys home automation can help you get a home that saves energy and intelligently manages energy. 

When we apply technology to control and automate the home, we achieve comfort, security and above all, savings and efficient use of the energy we use to run the home. The most direct way to control the use of energy in the home through home automation is by regulating the hours of operation of the home’s air conditioning systems and adapting their running to our schedules. 

With Censys home automation it is also possible to control the on and off of home and outdoor lights. In this way we will prevent any light from remaining on while we are away. Efficient lighting is also achieved by regulating the intensity of the light that we need in each room and for each different moment, depending on the activity we are doing. Censys smart switches are also highly recommended. 

Another way to be efficient through home automation is by controlling solar protection devices (blinds, awnings, curtains, etc.) to take the most of solar radiation, both in hot and cold seasons. In addition, at Censys we always opt for the installation of solar panels and the management of this energy through home automation. 

Thanks to home automation we can also control the operation of household appliances, thus achieving a much more efficient energy management. We can, for example, turn on the appliances that consume the most automatically, during off-peak hours and take advantage of the best rates. Or at the moment when the photovoltaic panels are generating more light. 

Finally, through residential control we can also control the operation of systems outside the home such as irrigation. Therefore, we can program the time and frequency of irrigation for a lower water consumption, strategically (water when it is less sunny, to avoid evaporation, or not water when it has already rained).
