Despite the widespread adoption of smart thermostats and other connected devices, a significant number of households remain reluctant to enroll in utility demand response programs. A recent report reveals that a lack of awareness and concerns about comfort and control are the main barriers preventing broad participation. This gap presents a challenge for grid operators who need the flexibility these programs provide to manage a rapidly changing energy mix. The key to bridging this gap isn't just about offering incentives. It's about building trust through technology. Modern software platforms enable utilities to orchestrate DR events that are shorter and more targeted, making them barely noticeable to the customer. They also facilitate personalized communication, moving away from generic alerts to transparent explanations of how participation benefits both the customer and the grid. For a deeper look into how data-driven strategies can transform customer engagement and unlock the full potential of demand response, we invite you to read our full article on our blog. You will find the link in the comments.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, but I’m starting a new "Did you know?" series on how #semiconductors enable smarter, greener "#Living & #Infrastructure" devices — from smart lighting to medical devices, appliances, smart agriculture and more. 💡Did you know that #streetlighting can account for up to 40% of a municipality’s electricity bill, as highlighted in various EU energy efficiency studies and smart lighting initiatives? What this means? Every upgrade in #lighting technology isn’t just about better visibility, but it’s also a big opportunity for #energysavings and CO₂ reduction, which is another hot topic in EU. And this is where semiconductors make a difference - they are at the heart of this shift. • Smart drivers & power management ICs → maximize efficiency • Connectivity (BLE, Sub-GHz, Zigbee) → enable remote control & monitoring • Sensors (light, motion) → adapt light to real needs • MCUs & secure edge processing → enable intelligent, autonomous operation 🌱Smart lighting is becoming a key part of smart cities — improving sustainability, reducing costs, and enhancing citizen well-being. #EBVElektronik can help you find the right solution to design energy-smart solutions with our rich supplier portfolio. If you're working on a project or facing a challenge, reach out — we’re here to help and find a solution. And to wrap up — what do you think? Will municipalities adopt connected lighting mainly for energy savings, or because it lays the foundation for broader smart city infrastructure?

The rise of private 5G and edge computing is redefining real estate operations in North America. In a strategic move, Nokia and Andorix have partnered to accelerate deployment of private 5G and neutral host networks across U.S. and Canadian properties. This collaboration empowers buildings with ultra-low latency, high reliability, and optimized connectivity—enabling smarter automation, better tenant experiences, and streamlined facility management. As real estate increasingly embraces digital transformation, secure and responsive connectivity becomes the backbone of smart building systems—from automated HVAC and lighting to real-time occupancy analytics. Property developers and managers ready to adopt private 5G will position their assets for a future driven by efficiency and intelligent responsiveness.

In this piece for TechRadar Pro, I explore how UWB’s precision is enabling secure access, automation, and real-time location tracking. The real shift comes from standards alignment: ● Connectivity Standards Alliance and Aliro are bringing UWB into the Matter ecosystem while enabling secure digital identity and access. ● FiRa Consortium is ensuring global interoperability and trust across devices. At Xthings, we view UWB not just as a feature, but as the foundation for seamless, secure, and context-aware experiences that will define the next generation of smart environments. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gew4F6vS #UltraWideband #UWB #CSA #Aliro #FiRa #SmartAccess #Matter #Xthings
🚗 Ever had your car unlock automatically as you walk up? Or used your iPhone to track down an AirTag with inch-level precision? That’s Ultra-Wideband (UWB) in action — and it’s coming to the smart home next. In a new TechRadar article, our Product Management Director, Raj Sundar, explains what UWB is, why it matters, and why Xthings is bringing this technology to Ultraloq smart locks. With inch-level accuracy, stronger security, and seamless convenience, UWB will transform how people experience access at home. We’re proud to be pioneering the world’s first UWB-enabled smart lock — a milestone that earned us a Best of CES Award earlier this year — and we’re just getting started. The future of connected living is only beginning to unfold. #Xthings #ULTRALOQ #UltraWideband #UWB #SmartHome #Innovation #SmartLock #PeaceOfMind #tech https://lnkd.in/gRTXMBBJ
