Automation through IoT brings with it a whole new set of philosophical andethical implications that we barely began to address. However, it is widelyconsidered by many scholars as the panacea to overcoming the majority ofsocietal issues. The case of energy efficiency as an action for tacklingclimate change is not different: demand-response proposals or occupancy-drivenenergy management systems crowd the current research agenda on energyefficiency. However, there are still very few studies that have reported theeffects of automation in the mid or long term beyond energy reduction (e.g.emotional feelings derived to interact with automation, complacency to thedevices or perceived value of the automation throughout the time). In thisworkshop article, we report scientific evidence of a study conducted in tenworkplaces during more than one year where we found that automating someelectronic devices of common use (i.e. moving away or preventing subjects fromthe control of these devices) in favour of comfort and energy efficiency, isassociated with a reduction of the users' confidence in science and technologyas a mean to solve all environmental current problems and reduce thewillingness of people to act in favor of the environment.
