I suspect you (and possibly others) are looking at ELON from a "home automation" perspective. Within this perspective, there could be savings in European homes for energy savings, based on cost of energy, and ability to control appliances (like heating and air conditioning), to reduce that cost.

HOWEVER, in my opinion, ELONs primary "value proposition", at this point, is in "building/factory floor automation" control networks interfacing to data networks (such as the internet).

eg:
in hotels (where u could turn off the heat or cable access, for 200 unoccupied rooms in different hotels, from a central monitoring facility)

or

in buildings of large corporations where u could "turn off the lights and heat/air at 8pm building wide, or segment wide" etc etc.

JMHO. cheers, kumar
