How can I make a SMART home device more cost-efficient?
To make your SMART home device save more money, you can:
- Set schedules. Use timers so devices only work when needed, like turning off lights when you're not home.
- Adjust settings. Use energy-saving modes, like dimming lights or lowering the heat.
- Check your usage. Look at the app to see how much energy you're using and find ways to use less.
- Use off-peak times. Run things like washing machines when electricity is cheaper.
