# [Smart Devices Reduce Energy Consumption - The Salamander Solution](https://getsalamander.com/insights/smart-devices-reduce-energy-consumption)

 Written by [getsalamander](https://getsalamander.com/insights/author/getsalamander) | Jul 12, 2022

We posted before about the book, "The Future is Smart" by W. David Stephenson, and here is another idea worth sharing from that book... re: Nest Thermostats

*"While it comes with a phone app to control the thermostat when you're away from home, most of the programming is done through sensors that monitor your occupancy patterns during the first weeks after installation and then automatically program the device through Artificial Intelligence.* *The results are staggering. Nests (thermostats) have saved users billions of kWh of energy, an average of 10-12% on heating bills and 15% on cooling"*

 So, what do you think you could do with those energy savings? Devices like #Nest - and the Salamander Reservoir - make good sense to save energy dollars! The book is available at [amazon.com/Future-Smart-Capitalize-Things-Connected/dp/0814439772](http://amazon.com/Future-Smart-Capitalize-Things-Connected/dp/0814439772)
