Product Information

With energy monitors, you can get a more precise measurement of energy usage and cost per individual electronic device.

Let’s start by talking about what really puts the “smart” in “smart light switches”, and really the entire smart home system, IFTTT . IFTTT (If This Then That) essentially lets you choose a “trigger” that, when triggered, will cause the smart light switch to perform a chosen action. For example, you can set a trigger for your smart light switches to turn on at 7:00 am with slow gradual brightness to emulate the sunrise, making the start of your day feel more natural. IFTTT also allows separate apps to work together, effectively integrating your smart home devices and appliances of different makes and brands into one common system. There is a lot to IFTTT and it definitely deserves a whole blog of its own, but in a nutshell, IFTTT is what allows you to add true automation and customization to your smart home, which your smart light switches are an integral part of. For this article, we're focusing solely on the kinds of energy monitors you can plug into an outlet. What is the difference between a smart meter and a plug-in energy monitor? Using an energy monitor is one of the best ways to clearly ascertain how much electricity you're using on individual appliances —hopefully helping you to work out where money can be saved in the long run. There are cheaper options available than the monitor we tested from RS Components. They include all the recommended features we've recommended you look out for and are widely available at the time of writing.You can switch out a normal light switch with a smart light switch pretty easily by yourself. Smart light switches are totally compatible with every switch panel wiring setup, so long as there’s a neutral wire (which should be in every home built after 1980). Other than that, it just takes a bit of basic DIY skills, a screwdriver, maybe a flashlight, and a bit of patience.
