A curated selection of smart home controllers and ecosystems specifically chosen for their ability to integrate with the diverse and often outdated electrical systems found in older houses. These hubs focus on reducing energy waste through intelligent climate control, lighting automation, and energy monitoring.
Get targeted exposure with custom position pinning and highlighted placement.
A versatile hub supporting Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Matter, making it ideal for older homes with mixed-brand devices. It allows for complex energy-saving routines, such as shutting off old appliances via smart plugs when sensors detect no occupancy.
A powerful local-processing hub that ensures your energy automations work even if the internet goes down. Its deep rule engine is perfect for creating sophisticated triggers that manage heating and cooling to offset poor insulation in historic homes.
An open-source platform that offers the highest level of customization for energy monitoring. It can integrate with virtually any device, allowing users to track energy usage across old circuits and automate efficiency via the Energy Dashboard.
A privacy-focused hub that integrates seamlessly with HomeKit-certified energy devices. It is particularly useful for managing smart thermostats and lighting in older homes through a simplified interface and Siri voice commands.
A convenient entry point for smart home automation that supports a wide array of energy-efficient bulbs and plugs. Its 'Hunches' feature can automatically turn off lights and devices in empty rooms to save electricity.
Centralizes control over Nest energy products, which are specifically designed to learn a home's heating and cooling patterns. This helps reduce the energy waste often associated with the uneven temperature zones common in older architecture.
A robust Z-Wave and Zigbee controller that excels at connecting legacy-style home hardware to a modern interface. It is highly effective for managing smart radiator valves and energy-efficient switches in homes without central HVAC.
A specialized hub that supports the Matter standard and excels at integrating low-power sensors. Its ability to manage precision temperature and humidity sensors helps optimize heating schedules in drafty, old-fashioned rooms.
