Environment How is it a solution to Environment ? oAutomated Thermostat oSmart Lighting oAutomated Irrigation System oAlternative energy generation oWater-saving devices oSmart Plugs. oSensors and home automation oEnvironmental Friendly How is it a problem for Environment ? 1. Smart Plugs : energy intensive in their consumption, using over four times the amount . There is continuous use of electricity throughout the simulation period 2. Energy payback : time of home automation in term of the electricity consumption of the devices is negative by 1.6 years 3. Plastic Rich : Smart Devices are plastic-rich 4.Marine Toxicity :The factor having the highest impact is the marine toxicity where the main components contributing to it are the electronic devices 5. Human toxicity : is the second largest and the main contributor to it is the management devices as well. 6. Smart meter : The smart meter has a fairly stable share on the environmental impact of around 20% for each impact factors evaluated. 7.
