Smart meters have opened up new opportunities for energy efficiency.Many third parties are now using data analytics to control the operation of a device, making smart decisions on the owner’s behalf to reduce waste, energy, and cost. Others are using the data to provide feedback to the homeowner with the intent to influence behavior.

While the primary selling features for many smart home products and systems may not be energy related, new products have expanded energy management features and capabilities. In a panel at the fifth-annual Smart Energy Summit in Austin, representatives from Aeris Communications, Constellation, NETGEAR, Smartenit, and SmartThings discuss the means necessary for accelerating the adoption of energy efficient products and services.
