<p>The rise of smart homes in recent years has been nothing short of spectacular. In a world where AI is reshaping entire industries, it&#8217;s only natural that home automation is keeping pace.</p>



<p>Now, while some folks may still be on the fence about embracing this tech-savvy lifestyle, those who&#8217;ve already taken the plunge can attest to the unmatched convenience it brings.</p>



<p>One of the prominent and most sought-after features of a smart home is the ability to create scenes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What are smart home scenes?</strong></h2>



<p>A ‘Scene’ helps you control several smart home devices at once for convenience. For example, when the sun goes down, you can make your garden and some outside lights turn ON with just one tap. This means you don&#8217;t have to go outside in the hot, sticky weather to switch ON the lights – it&#8217;s all done easily. You can also set up a scene to turn OFF these lights when you go to bed. So, no more stumbling around in the dark to turn off lights; you can stay comfy in bed and do it with a click.</p>



<p>The possibilities are truly endless, and with MTronic, there are several ways you can make the scenes and even have them play automatically! (More on this later)</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Bedtime Scene</strong></h2>



<p>Before we dive in, let&#8217;s begin by describing the smart scene we&#8217;re about to create. It&#8217;s one of our absolute favourites – the Bedtime scene.</p>



<p>Imagine you&#8217;ve had a long, exhausting day, and you walk into your room. It&#8217;s softly lit, the AC is already cooling the room to perfection, and the fan is gently whirring at speed 3, creating a soothing breeze that reaches every corner. Won’t that instantly relax you? It&#8217;s as if the stress of the busy day just melts away. And the best part? You can have all of this with a simple tap.</p>



<p>All you need to do is activate the scene about 10 minutes before you enter your room – perhaps while you&#8217;re finishing up dinner or putting the kids to bed. That&#8217;s it. Your cosy haven will be ready and waiting for you before you even step inside.</p>



<p>Let’s get cracking and create this scene, shall we?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Your smart home &#8211; online</strong></h2>



<p>To start, you need to know where to access your home controls digitally. You have two options: the MTronic app or your web browser. Both are easily accessible and very user-friendly, so you won&#8217;t have any navigation problems.</p>



<p>If you prefer using the MTronic app, simply download it from <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mtronic.smarthome&amp;pli=1">Play Store</a>&nbsp;or <a href="https://apps.apple.com/pk/app/mtronic/id1672234156">App Store</a>. For more information, you can follow our step-by-step <a href="/blog/create-smart-home-scenes-and-automations-on-mtronic-app/">guide</a> on creating smart home scenes on the MTronic app. If you&#8217;d rather learn how to create a scene through the MTronic Web Portal, keep reading.</p>



<p>Go to the MTronic <a href="/">website</a>. In the top right corner, you&#8217;ll find &#8216;<a href="https://portal.mtronic.pk/">My Portal</a>.&#8217; Just click on it to proceed.<a id="_msocom_1"></a></p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1626" height="1034" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/first-scene-1-1.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-301" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<p>Once you&#8217;ve entered your username and password, the MTronic portal will take you to your home’s overview.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1306" height="831" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Second-Scene-1.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-303" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<p>The overview displays a list of all your MTronic smart devices in your home. It provides real-time status updates, indicating whether each device is currently turned ON or OFF. It will also give you quick access to any scenes and automations already made.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1293" height="822" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Third-ScenesA.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-308" style="width:498px" /></figure></div>


<p>In the upper right corner, right next to your profile picture, you&#8217;ll spot a small &#8216;plus&#8217; icon. Give it a click, and a menu will appear. From there, you can choose &#8216;Room,&#8217; &#8216;Scene,&#8217; or &#8216;Automation.&#8217; Click on &#8216;Scene,&#8217; and it will lead you to the page where you can create a new scene.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1408" height="895" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Third-Scene-1.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-304" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<p>You can personalise the scene by giving it a name, such as &#8216;Bedtime,&#8217; or explore suggestions from the list below. You can even select a cool icon that matches the scene.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1395" height="887" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Fourth-Scene-1.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-305" style="width:499px" /></figure></div>


<p>Now, choose the smart home devices that should be in a specific state when you activate the scene. In our case, we want your room’s lights to be switched OFF, the fan to be on speed 3 and the AC to be switched ON, etc. So, go ahead and select them.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1293" height="822" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Fifth-Scene.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-306" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<p>Now select the state of each device. </p>



<p>Just as a reminder, here&#8217;s a quick guide: white for OFF, blue for ON. Grey is to keep the current state, in simple terms, if a light is already ON, it will stay ON; if it&#8217;s OFF, it will stay OFF without changes.</p>



<p>To turn OFF the bathroom lights, simply double-click until the light turns white, and then click &#8216;Save.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1306" height="831" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Seven-Scene.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-328" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<p>For the bedroom lights, we’ll switch OFF one light and leave the other light ON, so there is a soft glow in the corner of the room. Then click on ‘Save.’</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1344" height="855" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Eigth-Scene.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-329" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<p>We’ll also power ON the AC.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1280" height="814" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Ninth-Scene.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-330" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<p>And set the fan speed to 3.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1293" height="822" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Tenth-Scene.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-331" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<p>Now that all the devices’ states are set, go ahead and click on ‘Next.’</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1536" height="977" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Eleventh-Scene-1.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-307" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<p>And there you have it! The scene has been successfully created. Just wait a moment. The pending sign indicates that all your MTronic devices are synchronising with MHub.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="960" height="611" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/twelfth-Scene.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-332" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<p>In less than a minute, your scene should be good to go!</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1792" height="1140" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Thirteen-Scene.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-333" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<p>You can even spot it in the overview section.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="2048" height="1302" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/Fourteen-Scene.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-334" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<p>Now, simply click on &#8216;Bedtime&#8217; about 10 minutes before you head to your room and it will be dimly lit, cool and inviting – a perfect setting for you to unwind and relax!</p>



<p>And that&#8217;s just the beginning. Now that you&#8217;ve got the hang of creating smart home scenes, the potential is endless! </p>



<p>Plus, you can also automate your smart home scenes. Instead of manually telling Alexa or using the MTronic app, set them to activate at specific times on their own. For instance, if you typically head to your room at 10 pm during the workweek, you can schedule the Bedtime scene to start at 9:50 pm, Monday through Friday. That way, when you go to wind down, the room will be ready for you – always. To learn how to set up scene automation, check out this <a href="/blog/create-smart-home-scenes-and-automations-on-mtronic-app/">blog post</a>.</p>



<p>Go ahead and create a smart scene for your home! And if you face any issues or have a question, don&#8217;t hesitate to reach out. We&#8217;re here to help!</p>

Create Smart Home Scenes Using MTronic Web Portal

<p>Your scene, your way – right at your fingertips! Follow this detailed guide to create smart home scenes using the MTronic Web Portal and make the most of your smart home.</p>


Create Smart Home Scenes Using the MTronic Web Portal


<p>Welcome to the world of smart homes, where convenience and innovation come together, making your daily life a breeze. If you&#8217;re new to this exciting universe and feel a bit overwhelmed by all the tech-savviness, don&#8217;t worry &#8211; we&#8217;ve got you covered. Get ready to dive into the fantastic realm of home automation and let us guide you through the process of creating and automating smart scenes that will put your home on autopilot.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-is-a-scene-in-a-smart-home"><strong>What is a &#8216;scene&#8217; in a smart home?</strong></h2>



<p>Well, scenes are essentially custom settings that enable your smart home products to work together in harmony, automating everyday tasks without you having to command them individually. For instance, when you leave for work, a single scene can ensure all the lights and appliances switch OFF, with just a tap. No more fumbling with switches; the MTronic app has it all under control!</p>



<p>To make the most out of your smart home technology, you can create unique scenes that fit your routine, preferences, and lifestyle. From a refreshing morning scene to a cosy evening setting, the sky’s the limit.</p>



<p>Before we start making the scene, let’s first create a scenario to build our scene around. This way, we can personalise the scene to fit your needs perfectly. Let’s say you wake up at 7:30 AM every morning. To ease you into your day, we’ll ensure your electric geyser is already ON, the fan slows down and the lights are switched ON around 7:00 AM. This way, you start your day by naturally waking up slowly, rather than the abrupt jolt of an alarm.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="access-your-smart-home-with-mtronic"><strong>Access Your Smart Home with MTronic</strong></h2>



<p>First things first – let’s figure out how to access your MTronic smart home digitally. You have two options:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>The Website</strong><br>Head over to the <a href="/">MTronic</a> website and click on the ‘<a href="http://portal.mtronic.pk">My Portal</a>’ option up on the right.<br><br>Simply enter your credentials and you’ll have all the smart home features right there. Easy peasy! So, even if your phone is far away, you can use the MTronic Web Portal without any trouble.</li>
</ul>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="691" height="429" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-227" style="width:500px" /></figure></div>


<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>The App</strong><br>Download the MTronic smart home app either from the&nbsp;<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mtronic.smarthome&amp;pli=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Play Store</a>&nbsp;or the&nbsp;<a href="https://apps.apple.com/pk/app/mtronic/id1672234156" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">App Store</a>.</li>
</ul>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="222" height="434" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-1.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-228" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>Once done, enter your credentials, and voila! You have access to your smart home from anywhere in the world – whether you’re chilling in your room or trekking on a mountain across the world. Ah, the power of technology, it’s truly amazing.</p>



<p>Now that you&#8217;re logged in, let&#8217;s walk you through creating scenes with the MTronic app, utilizing the user-friendly app interface for clear, step-by-step instructions.</p>



<p>Let’s get started!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-to-create-a-smart-scene"><strong>How to Create a Smart Scene</strong></h2>



<p>Log in to your MTronic app. The overview will display a list of MTronic devices you have, their status, and any scenes and automations you’ve created.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="942" height="1841" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-2.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-229" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>Tap on the plus icon at the top right and select &#8216;Scene&#8217; from the given options. This will take you to a new screen where you can begin building your custom scene.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="499" height="975" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-3.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-230" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>Choose a name for your scene. In our example, we’ll call it ‘Good Morning.’ Then click on ‘Next’.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1108" height="2166" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-4.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-231" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>Next, select the devices you want to include in the scene. For our example, we want the Master Bedroom lights and fan to be in a specific state, along with the electric geyser. Once you&#8217;ve selected, click &#8216;Next&#8217; to continue.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="831" height="1625" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Scene_4-1.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-239" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>Now, set the desired state for each device individually. In our case, we want the lights and geyser to be ON and the fan to slow down to speed 2.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="443" height="866" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Scene_5-2-1.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-240" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>After all the smart home devices are set, click on ‘Save’ and ta-da! Your scene is created – easy as pie.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="665" height="1300" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Scene_6-1.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-241" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>You will see a ‘pending’ sign on your scene – don’t worry! The devices are just syncing up. In less than a minute, your scene will be ready to go!</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="776" height="1517" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Scene_7-1.gif" alt="Create Smart Home Scenes Thumbnail" class="wp-image-242" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>So, what does this mean? You can simply tap the &#8216;Good Morning’ scene in your app or activate it via Amazon Alexa/Google Assistant to have your Master Bedroom’s lights and geyser switched ON and the fan adjusted to speed 2.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1108" height="2166" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-10.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-237" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>While that&#8217;s pretty handy, we can take it up a notch. In our scenario, we want this scene to automatically activate every morning at 7:00 AM. This is where &#8216;automation&#8217; comes into play.</p>



<p>But what does automation mean in a smart home? Automation is a fantastic way for scenes to unfold all by themselves. With MTronic, you can create an automation based on motion, detected by our&nbsp;<a href="/products/motion-and-light-sensor">Motion &amp; Light Sensors</a>&nbsp;or, as in our example, based on time, where scenes kick in at a specific time or during a certain time slot. So, let’s make the automation, shall we?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-to-automate-your-scenes"><strong>How to Automate Your Scenes</strong></h2>



<p>On your MTronic app screen, tap on ‘Automation’ at the bottom right.</p>



<p>Tap &#8216;Add&#8217; in the top right corner and choose &#8216;Schedule.&#8217; This will help you set up the automation based on your desired timing.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="997" height="1949" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-5.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-232" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>Tap on ‘Specific Time’ and set the ‘Start Time’ as 7:00 AM. Make sure you select the days you want the automation to repeat, like Monday through Friday in our case. Then click ‘Next.’</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="554" height="1083" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-9.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-236" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>Once you&#8217;ve set the desired time and day, select the scene you want to activate at that specific moment. For our example, we&#8217;re picking &#8216;Good Morning.&#8217;</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1108" height="2166" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-7.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-234" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>Don&#8217;t forget to name this automation as well. We&#8217;ll stick with ‘Good Morning’ and click ‘Save.’</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1108" height="2166" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-8.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-235" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>Just like the scene, the automation will have a ‘pending’ status for a bit before it’s ready to roll.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="693" height="1355" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-6.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-233" style="width:200px" /></figure></div>


<p>And there you have it! Simple, right?</p>



<p>Now, you won’t have to wake up super early to switch on the electric geyser or be abruptly woken up to the jarring sound of the alarm. Your smart home has your back, guaranteeing a worry-free and smooth start to your day.</p>



<p>Give it a try! The best part of having a smart home is how it takes care of your needs. From always having hot water ready for your morning shower to lights and fans switching ON when you enter a room – the possibilities are endless.

Create Smart Home Scenes & Automations on MTronic App

<p>Step-by-step guide on creating and automating smart home scenes on the MTronic App. Effortlessly sync your home to your routine and embrace the convenience of smart living.</p>

<p>Our survival is very closely linked to the planet&#8217;s health, and it feels like nature is hanging by a thread. You must have noticed the weather getting more erratic lately. Extreme heat, intense cold spells, unexpected floods&#8230; it’s not mere imagination but a grim reality we all share. The planet’s temperature is rising fast, threatening life as we know it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Scientists say that even a moderate&nbsp;<a href="https://www.c40.org/what-we-do/scaling-up-climate-action/adaptation-water/the-future-we-dont-want/sea-level-rise/#:~:text=By%202050%2C%20800%20million%20people,risk%20and%20wreak%20economic%20havoc." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1-2°C increase could drown coastal cities</a>&nbsp;as the polar ice caps melt. And you can bet that this is just the start. Rising heat would also release the vast reserves of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, buried under the ocean floor. This, in turn, will speed up global warming, leading to a further increase in ocean levels &#8211; a vicious cycle stuck on repeat. &nbsp;</p>



<p>The time to act is now. Even a small fraction of an increase in temperature matters. As businesses and individuals, we must work rapidly towards “net-zero”- eliminating as many emissions as we produce.</p>



<p>We know it may seem daunting, but making a difference doesn&#8217;t have to be complicated. Small steps, starting right where we live and work, can lead to significant changes.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="introducing-smart-buildings-nbsp"><strong>Introducing Smart Buildings  &nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>Buildings produce almost 1/3 of global emissions. Building materials, such as cement, bricks, etc., account for around 9% of emissions, which we refer to as direct emissions. While a whopping 18% is from the electricity and heat used to&nbsp;operate these buildings, known as indirect emissions.&nbsp;Although direct emissions are declining, indirect ones keep going up. This is where we come in.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Human negligence accounts for a big chunk of these emissions. People think that their contribution to emissions must be negligible. Unfortunately, the reality is quite different. For example, lights left on in a room that no one is using or ACs cooling/heating empty rooms, have a much more significant impact than we think.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>These small instances of lights left on in empty rooms and AC units running unchecked add up. But what if we could significantly reduce human negligence in our buildings and automate our energy consumption?  &nbsp;</p>



<p>Smart building technology brings this vision to life! Smart devices can make buildings work based on patterns you set. In Pakistan, the options for smart devices and automation solutions are quite limited. This is where&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mtronic.pk/">MTronic</a>&nbsp;comes in &#8211; a German-designed automation solution manufactured in Pakistan following international best practices.</p>



<p>MTronic&#8217;s automation brings many benefits, such as convenience and comfort, and helps eliminate human negligence to limit energy waste. That means MTronic can be the solution you were seeking to start your net-zero journey.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>MTronic&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mtronic.pk/products/motion-and-light-sensor">Motion &amp; Light Sensors</a>&nbsp;can detect your presence and adjust devices automatically. When paired with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mtronic.pk/products/touch-panel">Touch Panels</a>, lights will switch off when the room is empty or when there is already ample natural light.&nbsp; You can even schedule AC usage based on presence in the room. Smart devices connect to form a unified, self-regulating ecosystem programmed for efficiency.&nbsp;See, it isn’t that difficult to be environmentally sustainable in today’s world now, is it?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="savings-add-up-to-the-planets-benefit-nbsp"><strong>Savings Add Up&#8230; To the Planet’s Benefit  </strong>&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Thinking “my efforts are just one small dot” is understandable. But small dots form the bigger picture! So here is what we did to help you understand this: </p>



<p>Across 3 office buildings, we compared energy consumption over a period of 12 hours, with and without MTronic&#8217;s automation. And the results are amazing.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A 4,200 sq. ft. workspace saw 35.49% less kWh energy use after automation.</li>



<li>A 2,650 sq. ft. office used 42.86% less kWh energy. </li>



<li>And the largest site, 5,800 sq. ft., dropped 50.59% in kWh energy consumption!</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-210" srcset="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image.jpeg 1024w, https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-768x432.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Half the energy use? That&#8217;s half the associated emissions! This data shows that automation can massively reduce your energy consumption and carbon footprint. And what&#8217;s more, you can save money on your electricity bills. So, automation is sustainable in more ways than just one!</p>



<p>Want to see how we achieved these energy savings?&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mtronic.pk/whitepapers/the-effects-of-building-automation-on-energy-consumption-carbon-emissions">Download our whitepaper</a>&nbsp;to learn more about our experiment.</p>



<p>Now, what&#8217;s behind these energy savings? MTronic helps save energy through two types of automations.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="motion-based-automation">Motion-Based Automation</h3>



<p><em>Automation kicks in when motion (or no motion) is detected.</em></p>



<p>MTronic&#8217;s Motion &amp; Light Sensors&nbsp;detect presence and communicate with other smart devices to turn on lights, ACs, and other appliances. They can also pick up light intensity and switch lights off accordingly. This helps minimise waste when the spaces sit empty or when natural light is available. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="time-based-automation-nbsp">Time-Based Automation   &nbsp;</h3>



<p><em>Automation starts at a specific time or for a set period.</em></p>



<p>The energy consumption of always-on appliances such as electric geysers can be reduced by scheduling their usage. You can also save on electric bills by scheduling the use of these appliances during low-tariff hours.  &nbsp;</p>



<p>With motion and time-based automations working together, energy consumption aligns with actual needs. Any human oversight is eliminated by the automated ecosystem. The result? Optimised efficiency and significant savings around the clock!  &nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="begin-your-journey-to-net-zeronbspnbspnbsp"><strong>Begin Your Journey to</strong>&nbsp;<strong>Net Zero&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</h2>



<p>They say numbers don&#8217;t lie. And our numbers show that smart buildings are key to reaching net zero. They could significantly reduce emissions, making them crucial for a greener future for our planet.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-2.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-212" srcset="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-2.jpeg 1024w, https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-2-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/image-2-768x432.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

3 Smart Hacks for a Smart Life


<p>You know those sci-fi movies where the house seems to have a mind of its own? Well, it turns out real-life houses can be just as smart, and they&#8217;re taking over! With technology racing ahead at the speed of light, smart homes are revolutionizing our daily lives by offering unparalleled convenience and security. But let&#8217;s be real here: Are they worth the hype, or are we just falling for some fancy gadgetry?</p>



<p>Well, let&#8217;s dig in and find out, shall we?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Benefits of having a smart home</strong></h2>



<p>Without a doubt, one of the biggest advantages of having a smart home is its convenience. Let&#8217;s be honest, constantly going up and down the stairs to turn OFF the lights can be a real workout. But with smart home technology in place, your voice assistant can do the heavy lifting for you. </p>



<p>Simply say &#8220;<strong>Alexa, turn OFF the light,</strong>&#8221;  and you&#8217;re good to go.</p>



<p>Additionally, custom scenes enable you to customize your smart home experience fully. Whether you want a cosy ambiance for a movie night or a lively atmosphere for a dinner party, you can create the perfect setting for every moment.</p>



<p>One of the best things about smart homes is the energy-saving aspect. We all know that one person who leaves every light ON in the house. With smart home devices, automatically turn OFF lights and appliances when no one is in the room. So, no more nagging your family members to switch OFF the lights to save electricity.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Challenges of having a smart home</strong></h2>



<p>But are smart homes worth the investment? It&#8217;s a question some homeowners ask themselves when considering upgrading to a smarter living space. Two of the biggest concerns that come up are: Are smart homes secure? Are smart homes expensive?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://mtronic.mrscms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Blog-Images_1b-scaled-1.jpg" alt="" /></figure>



<p>Regarding the expense, it&#8217;s true that the cost of buying multiple smart home devices can add up, but think of it as an investment for the future. With smart devices, you&#8217;ll be able to save money on your energy bills, and your home will be safer and far more convenient. Plus, you can always start your smart home project small with a few essential devices and gradually build up the ecosystem over time.</p>



<p>As for data privacy, some people worry about their personal information being collected by these devices. But you can choose products that have robust privacy protection to ensure your information is kept safe. Look for companies that use communication protocols other than Wi-Fi, such as BLE Mesh or Zigbee, which is considered more secure. Have a look at their published privacy policies where they list in detail what kind of data, they are siphoning off your home.</p>



<p>Finally, for some, the task of setting up a smart home ecosystem and installing various devices may seem a daunting and intimidating experience but fear not! Many companies now offer comprehensive solutions to make the process easier than ever. From step-by-step online tutorials to end-to-end support services, you can relax and seamlessly navigate the world of smart technology. And if you want to ensure you&#8217;re making the right purchase decisions, you can always check out smart home systems reviews to get real feedback from other users. No need to stress about the technical details!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>So, are they worth it?</strong></h2>



<p>That&#8217;s the million-dollar question (although hopefully, you won&#8217;t have to spend quite that much 😉).</p>



<p>Despite everything, smart homes continue to gain popularity among homeowners. People who have taken the plunge and adopted this lifestyle say it has transformed their lives and now they can’t imagine going back. With the level of convenience smart homes offer and the sense of security they give by keeping their home and family safe, it is definitely worth it.</p>
