While home security has been the top reason for getting smart home technologies in the U.S., the demand to reduce energy consumption with smart devices is rising, as several partnerships were formed recently in the industry to put smart thermostats inside homes.
Texas-based utility provider Reliant has just announced a preferred partner agreement with Google, to put Google Home smart speakers and Nest thermostats in homes of its customers for energy-saving purpose.
The smart home devices will be bundled with Reliant’s electricity plan to let customers try out new smart devices. Reliant says the smart devices can help customers save money and better manage their energy use.
