Smart appliances enable users to connect, control, and monitor their appliances allowing them to save time, energy, and money. For example, they can schedule run times to fit personal schedules, take advantage of cheaper off-peak energy, or maximize solar power utilization to save time, money, and the environment. Additionally, they can remotely monitor appliances to ensure that they are turned off for safety, even after leaving home.
