As we move toward the ‘Intuitive Home,’ a tech-filled smart home like the Orient becomes increasingly hard to turn down. 

Here’s the vision: You return home after a long day at work. Lights fade on in a pleasing combination of soothing greens and blues; your favorite chillaxing music queues up. You’ve plugged in your electric car, but your charger knows to delay charging until rates are lower, or your smart inverter/battery system may tell the charger to draw from the storage battery instead. In the background, devices are talking to each other and automating all kinds of tasks, freeing us to do other things while saving energy and money.
