Nonetheless, it is widely considered the panacea to overcoming the majority of global issues by many scholars with few arguments about its side-effects. The case of energy efficiency as an immediate action to overcome the climate change is not different: demand-response, smart grids or occupancy-driven energy management systems by using IoT crowd the current research agenda. Thus, there are scarce studies reporting mid or long term effects of IoT-mediated automation beyond quantitative-based energy reductions (eg emotional feelings derived to interact with smart devices, complacency associated with them or perceived value of IoT throughout the time are left apart).
