Smart home technology isn’t just for homeowners or tech enthusiasts with renovation budgets. More and more renters are looking for ways to enjoy the comfort, energy savings, and convenience of a connected home — without breaking leases or drilling holes in the walls.
At eCozy, we believe smart living should be accessible to everyone. Here’s how you can transform your rental into a smart home with easy, non-invasive upgrades that won’t upset your landlord.
1. Start with Smart Plugs and Lights
Want to control your lights, coffee machine, or fan with your phone or voice? Smart plugs and smart bulbs are the perfect starting point. They’re plug-and-play, don’t require installation, and can be taken with you when you move.
Tip: Choose systems compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit for seamless integration.
2. Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat – Without Wires
Traditional smart thermostats often require rewiring, but that’s not an option for most renters. That’s where eCozy comes in.
Our smart thermostats are:
- Wireless and easy to install
- Compatible with most radiator valves
- Controlled via app or voice
- Help you save energy and reduce bills
You can install them yourself, remove them when you move out, and enjoy the benefits of intelligent heating year-round.
3. Use Smart Sensors for Security and Comfort
Smart sensors are small, affordable, and powerful. Motion sensors, door/window contacts, or leak detectors can enhance your sense of security without any permanent changes.
Many of them come with adhesive backs — no drilling required.
4. Create Smart Routines with a Hub or App
Once you have a few smart devices, you can build routines:
- Turn off all lights when you leave the house
- Heat your bathroom before your morning shower
- Get notified if a window is left open while the heat is on
These routines don’t just feel luxurious — they make your space more efficient and sustainable.
5. Talk to Your Landlord (If Needed)
Most smart upgrades — like those from eCozy — don’t require permission. But if you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to talk to your landlord, especially if it improves energy efficiency. Some landlords are even open to co-investing in smart solutions that lower utility costs or add value to the property.
Smart Living Without Compromise
Renting doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the smart home experience. With wireless, removable, and non-invasive technology like eCozy’s smart thermostats, it’s easier than ever to take control of your home’s comfort and energy use — on your terms.
