Eight Ways to Smarten Up Your Home: Gallery

Know what everything costs
Ever look closely at your energy bill? There’s a lot of jargon, some “KWs,” and the debt you owe. It doesn’t make it easy to know what appliances are most costly. The EnergyHub Starter Kit, which comes with a smart plug, smart power strip, and home base, provides a simple way to monitor every cent. The base receives info from plugged-in devices, displays current and projected costs, and suggests ways to reduce spending. You can add more items, such as thermostats, and control it all through your smartphone or tablet.
