After a long road trip, we arrive at our “Connected Home”, a bundle of smart devices that work together to make our lives more comfortable, and also to provide energy benefits to our utilities.

Hear from CLEAResult and AEG about a study conducted with PG&E to learn how customers interact with their smart technology, and what functionality might be of interest in the future. These insights are helpful as utilities strive to leverage the benefits of an increasing number of smart devices.
