1. Master switch

Master switch - one of the most basic elements of a smart home. It can set any electrician. He zavedet all the lights and sockets (except, for example, refrigerators and other appliances that need to constantly receive acceptance) on one switch near the entrance. Just press the button before going to be sure that the iron is switched off, and the light in the back room is off.

2. Motion Sensor

Motion sensors that automatically turn on the light, will be particularly useful in the corridors and bathrooms. Firstly, the night will not have to look at the touch switch. And secondly, it is in these rooms we usually forget to turn off the light. Sometimes the sensors installed in the apartments for rent in order to reduce electricity costs. The main thing is not to overdo it and do not install the sensor in the bedroom.
