[View online](=) //WEEKLY ☰ ⊗ [News](=) [Reviews]( [Best Lists]( [Videos]() [Community]() Good morning {NAME}, ​ Did you turn off the heater before going to bed last night? In the city where I live—Berlin, Germany—the morning newspapers reported news that brought great relief. Since the start of autumn, Berliners had saved significantly on fuel compared to the previous year. Gas consumption dropped by 15 percent, according to the city's largest gas supplier. ​ This sounded like a relief because it showed how the community were unified to save energy. On the other hand, it also triggered concern about the impact of the energy crisis on consumers' pockets. ​ That also made us think about how we can help you get through this time of crisis as comfortably as possible. With that in mind, our team has created a guide on how to save energy by making your home smarter. Maybe you are unaware, but devices that make your heater accessible from anywhere can positively impact both your gas and energy consumption and your well-being. ​ This and other tips can be found in this week's featured article in the Newsletter. ​ I wish you a great week ahead... and a warm holiday season! ​ ​ ¢Â€Â‹ ​ Camila Rinaldi Head of Editorial --------------------------------------------------------------- ​ ​ //What you really need to know Saving energy in a smart home: What you need to know in 2022 Saving energy in the smart home.
