The Basics
What is a Smart Home?
A smart home is a home that is equipped with technology to remotely control and automate household systems. Examples include lighting equipped with motion sensors, smart plugs, thermostats, energy monitors and other connected appliances.
What is Home Automation?
Home automation allows you to monitor and control home features such as lighting, the temperature, entertainment systems, appliances and energy usage.
Why does Dominion Energy care about Smart Homes?
There are many benefits to smart home products including the ability to control devices and save energy when not in use. Therefore, Dominion Energy is helping their residential customers access smart home products that provide energy savings.
What's Included in Dominion Energy's Smart Home Kit?
The base kit includes 4 Philips Hue smart light bulbs, a Philips Hue Hub, a Philips Hue Room Motion Sensor, and 3 Kasa Smart plugs. Want to save even more energy? Further enhance your base kit by adding on a Sense Energy Monitor and ecobee Enhanced Thermostat. The complete smart home kit is available for purchase on Dominion Energy’s Store with up to $145 available in instant rebates.
Why did Dominion Energy pick these specific manufacturers/models?
The kit components were selected based on advanced technology, competitive pricing and overall customer experience.
Is there an incentive for Dominion Energy's Smart Home Program?
Yes! If you purchase the Smart Home Kit from the Dominion Energy online store at smarthome.domsavings.com, you will automatically receive $25 off the base kit. If you purchase the smart thermostat or home energy monitor, you are eligible for an additional automatic rebate: $50 for the smart thermostat and $70 for the home energy monitor. If you purchase the full kit, you will receive an instant rebate of $145.
Is there a shipping fee?
Shipping is free. It typically takes up to ten days to receive your order and you will be provided with a tracking number after checkout.
Can I add additional smart home products to my home?
Yes! We hope that this kit is just a starting point or part of your smart home ecosystem.
Eligibility/Compatibility
What kind of customers are eligible to participate in this program?
Any Dominion Energy residential customer who lives in a single-family home in the state of Virginia can participate however there are a few exceptions:
- If you are a renter, you should get approval from your landlord for purchasing hardware that will be installed in the home (thermostat or home energy monitor).
- If you or your home’s previous owners received a rebate for a smart thermostat through a Dominion Energy Program, you will not be eligible to purchase the additional thermostat through this program but you can still purchase the base kit and the home energy monitor.
- If you or your home’s previous owners received a rebate for a Smart Home Energy Management System under Dominion Energy’s Home Retrofit Program, you would be ineligible to purchase the Smart Home Kit.
How do I know if the ecobee thermostat is compatible with my home/HVAC system?
Use ecobee’s compatibility checker at: https://www.ecobee.com/en-us/compatibility/thermostat/.
How do I know if the Sense Home Energy Monitor is compatible with my home?
Review Sense’s compatibility article here: https://help.sense.com/hc/en-us/articles/115006132768-Compatible-electrical-panel-configurations.
What if I already participated in Dominion Energy’s Smart Thermostat Program?
If you have participated in Dominion Energy’s Smart Thermostat program, you will not be eligible to purchase an additional thermostat through this program. However, you can still purchase the base kit which includes 4 smart light bulbs, 3 smart plugs, a room motion sensor, and hub. You can also further enhance your base kit by purchasing the energy monitor.
I purchased some of these devices, but I did not purchase them from Dominion Energy’s online store. Can I submit for a rebate?
Unfortunately, the only way to obtain the rebate is to purchase directly from Dominion Energy’s online store at smarthome.domsavings.com.
Are these products compatible with Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, or Apple?
All the devices are compatible with Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home. Most kit components are also compatible with Samsung’s SmartThings and the Apple Homekit. For more information on compatibility, visit each manufacturer’s website.

Yes, you can purchase Sense Flex Sensors so you can monitor your solar production. For more information and where to purchase, visit: https://sense.com/.
Installation
Do I need to hire a contractor to install my kit?
The base kit (4 smart light bulbs, 3 smart plugs, a motion sensor, and hub) can be installed by yourself. However, if you decide to add further enhancement to your base kit with the energy monitor, you are required to hire a licensed electrician of your choice to install the device inside your electrical panel. In addition, while you can install the add on thermostat on your own, some customers may prefer to hire an electrician to install that as well.
I heard that a home energy monitor is easy to install. Why do you require a licensed electrician to install it?
Installation of a home energy monitor is complex and must be installed inside the home’s electrical panel. As a result, you need to hire a licensed electrician in the state of Virginia to install it to ensure the safety of you and your household.
Where should I place the smart plugs?
Use your smart plugs inside your home located in a dry environment only. Consider using smart plugs with devices that may draw power in standby mode. For example, a computer, television, indoor security lighting, dehumidifier, or air purifier.
