Tuya Promotes Smart Energy Management with Innovative Solutions
Tuya has always adhered to empowering various industries to achieve smart energy management through AI and other cutting-edge technologies. Considering household electricity accounts for as much as 30% of power consumption in most countries globally, Tuya has strategically developed the HEMS with foresight, providing detailed energy consumption analysis reports and real-time operational management options to help households advance towards smart energy use.
