By integrating with smart assistants, utilities can tap into the whole home ecosystem, beyond thermostats, opening up new opportunities for customer engagement and new utility services - insight from @nest @Google #SmartEnergy19

The trick to demand response is to design the program in a way in which residents hardly notice, like making smaller set backs for longer periods of time - insights from @ConEdison #SmartEnergy19

Lots of opportunities for new revenue generating services from energy providers (beyond energy services), like home warranty services, appliance rental, smart home services and more - insights from @DirectEnergy #SmartEnergy19

There's a lot of room for collaboration, even between competitors, in the smart home. The much bigger competitor to any smart product is it's traditional unconnected variant, which is much more prevalent in the market - insights from @Lutron #SmartEnergy19

Consumer education on energy efficiency won't necessarily translate into action. The answer is automation. Make it easy by doing it for consumers - insights from @ecobee #SmartEnergy19

Utilities need to start looking at multi-family buildings as huge opportunities for energy savings. Plus, MDU operators and residents want it. - insights from @FeliciteMoorman @STRATISIoT #SmartEnergy19

Community solar will be increasingly important. Not only are costs prohibitive for individual household adoption, but the high rate of renters and frequent movers are a barrier to adoption as well, particularly in urban areas.- Insights from @austinenergy #SmartEnergy19

The automakers are clearly amping up plans and investments for EVs, but the infrastructure is simply not mature or extensive enough. Insights from @greenlots #SmartEnergy19

When the energy industry has a problem, it makes it the customer's problem. We need to truly move to a consumer-centric perspective, learn what reduces complexity and delights the consumer - insights from @adriantuck @tendril #SmartEnergy19

Using energy data, we've achieved operational savings and have improved our load forecasting, but we have a ways to go in using data to engage consumers. - insights from @NVEnergy #SmartEnergy19

Load disaggregation is taking off, it's here, and energy providers who aren't doing it are behind. At the same time, AI can handle so much more dayta to make insights even deeper and more personalized - insights from @bidgely #SmartEnergy19

Smart thermostats are the darling of the energy industry, but we need to look beyond them to water heater controls and other connected devices that can have a real impact on energy consumption- insights from @SCE #SmartEnergy19

Decentralized, distributed tech like block chain, P2P distribution, decentralized authentication will have a big impact on video. Insights from @littlestar #FutureVideo18
