Some German towns have begun using SMS to control their streetlights. This results in large energy cost savings. The system automatically turns streetlights off, and requires citizens to send an SMS to a central number to turn on specific streetlights for up to 60 minutes.
In one particular town, the system has resulted in a annual saving of over 4000 EUR. Other cities in Germany are trailing a similar system that uses a consumer’s mobile credits to pay for the lighting. Streetlight time is priced the same as mobile minutes, so that citizens can get an hour of light for the same price as an hour of phone calls.
