Equipping Homeowners for the
As more homes become "connected" and the world increasingly relies on electricity, it's expected that international energy consumption will double by 2050. In addition, extreme weather conditions and rising demand place strain on grid infrastructure and can result in blackouts or power outages.
"The consumers' relationship with electric power has traditionally been one-sided: your utility delivers it, you use it and you pay the bill," said
Making Homes Wiser
A survey* of US homeowners found that the majority (74 percent) consider efficiency the primary benefit of smart home technology, followed by energy conservation (59 percent).
The Wiser Energy™ system, a connected home solution from Square D, helps educate consumers on the energy usage of devices across their home, including devices that are not "smart" or connected. It detects and identifies all appliances within the home and uses
Consumers can then use the Square D version of the Sense app or leading voice assistants including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to digitally track energy usage, receive updates if the dryer cycle is still running, or get alerts if an appliance is malfunctioning or requires service. This information allows homeowners to reduce the risk of potential expensive energy bills, deliver protection and safety for their home, or, for those with alternate energy sources such as solar, control and manage how appliances leverage different energy sources.
