Welcome to The UK Smart Home
This is a blog about living with a smart home in Britain, with real numbers from a real house.
The house is a renovated bungalow in Dorset with a heat pump, solar panels, a home battery, an EV on an overnight tariff and more HomeKit gadgets than strictly necessary. I'll share what it all costs, what it saves, and what I'd do differently.
You'll find two kinds of post here:
- Features: longer write-ups on a single subject, like a month of heat pump figures or whether a battery pays for itself.
- Linked posts: short takes on news from elsewhere. The headline takes you to the original story, and the ¶ symbol takes you to my post.
