Everything in this world comes at a price but with technology enabling us to work smarter and more efficiently why should our houses not be smarter.
Do you get tired of telling the kids to turn off the lights or loose your mind when you find the freezer door has been slightly ajar for the past 12 hours. Why don’t freezers have a door ajar buzzer like cars do.
How much energy do we waste because of pure laziness. When I was a single guy, and traveled a lot, I had a solution for energy savings when I was not home. Every circuit breaker minus the refrigerator was snapped off. I had amazingly small electricity bills which allowed me to run the A/C a little longer than I normally would when I was home.
So how come our homes cannot be smarter? Seems like this would be a very hot market considering oil and electricity prices these days.
Turns out that the next generation of smart homes may be very close to being ready for prime time. [SmartMobs]
