Introduction
Home automation is no longer a futuristic luxury—it’s a practical solution for everyday living in Nigeria. With rising energy costs, power outages, and growing concerns about efficiency, smart home technology offers an effective way to reduce waste and lower household expenses. At Accur8 Technologies, we help Nigerian homeowners make smarter choices that lead to real savings.
Here are five powerful ways smart home automation can help you save money:
1. Smart Lighting Reduces Wasted Electricity
Traditional lighting systems often result in unnecessary electricity use, especially when lights are left on in empty rooms. Smart lighting systems use motion sensors, timers, and scheduling to ensure that lights are only active when needed. You can even control them remotely via your smartphone.
Estimated Savings: Up to 20% off lighting-related electricity costs.
2. Smart Plugs Eliminate Phantom Power Drain
Even when turned off, many devices like TVs, chargers, and microwaves continue to consume electricity. This is known as “phantom load” or standby power. Smart plugs cut off power completely when a device isn’t in use, preventing this hidden cost from adding up over time.
Bonus Tip: You can schedule appliances to shut off automatically at night or while you’re away.
3. Smart Thermostats Optimize AC and Heating
Air conditioners are one of the biggest energy consumers in Nigerian homes. Smart thermostats learn your daily routines and adjust temperatures automatically for efficiency. Whether you’re away at work or asleep at night, your AC doesn’t need to run at full power.
Benefit: Lower electricity bills and longer appliance lifespan.
4. Voice Control Saves Time (and Energy)
Using voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, you can control lights, fans, AC, and even entertainment systems without walking around. This convenience often leads to better energy habits like turning things off when not in use.
Example: “Alexa, turn off all lights in the living room.”
5. Remote Access Prevents Energy Waste
Ever left home wondering if you left the iron or fan running? With remote access, you can check the status of connected devices and switch them off from anywhere. This feature is especially helpful for Airbnb and shortlet hosts, busy families, and professionals on the go.
Result: Peace of mind and lower utility costs.
