How to enable energy reductions for your customers with IoT devices

With fluctuating energy prices and uncertainty on the energy market, optimizing consumption becomes highly important and many consumers are looking for new ways to reduce their energy costs.

IoT devices are tools that can help reduce electricity consumption in homes, office or commercial buildings, multi-dwelling units, and more.

This offers new opportunities for companies to grow their business by providing energy management systems. These systems can answer the immediate demand from customers to reduce energy usage in times of high prices and energy shortages.

A smart energy system helps your customers identify how much electricity they are using where so that they can take steps to reduce it.

You can also let your customers remote control their electrical appliances and enable automation of appliances so minimizing energy consumption can happen automatically without manual interference.

Make your customers aware of their consumption

The first step to reducing energy consumption is to know how much energy is consumed by which devices at what time.

With energy monitoring devices such as smart plugs, smart relays, and meter interfaces connected to a gateway, you can make it easy for your customers to get an overview of their consumption.

Your smart energy system can help them identify consumption peaks and appliances with high energy usage so that they know where they can start lowering their consumption and costs.

Offer energy reductions through automation and remote control of customers' appliances

By offering the possibility to automate your customers’ lights and appliances, you make it easy for them to save energy.

Smart plugs, smart cables, and smart relays can be connected to your customers’ appliances making it possible to automate or remote control them via a gateway.

Giving your customers the ability to remote control their appliances, they can turn their lights, heating, or other appliances on and off from afar and check if they forgot to turn something off.

With these devices, your customers can make sure that lights and appliances are only connected to the grid when they are in use which reduces stand-by consumption. This is particularly useful in cases where electricity only needs to be used in a specific time frame during the day, for example in offices.
