Where to start a smart home in Pskov?

You can make housing smarter without expensive technologies: you should start with basic solutions. About this "MK in Pskov" reported in the press service of the Pskov enterprise "Pskov heat networks".

The first level is available to everyone: window and door insulation, energy-saving lamps, battery-powered thermostats to monitor the temperature in each room and motion sensors for street lighting.

When the budget allows, you can move to the second level - to smart meters with real-time control of resource consumption, automated heating systems with savings of up to 30% of heat, leakage sensors and light control from a smartphone.

Experts advise you to start by assessing the current state of housing and determining priority areas, then make a plan taking into account the budget and move from simple solutions to new technologies. The main thing is not to chase expensive solutions, choose proven technologies and take into account real needs.
