smart home Week is back. The initiative developed to help promote smart home tech is sponsored by brands from across the industry.
With nearly half of us feeling confused by smart technology, it’s essential for brands to offer support and guidance to help us get to grips with the latest smart technology. With this in mind, Philips Hue, Samsung SmartThings and Yale all return for a second smart home Week, together with other leading smart home players including, Amazon, ebay, Google, sound and tado° as well as the British standards Institution, acting as an independent regulatory body.
Their second annual survey of the smart home Market in the UK exposes some interesting trends.
43% of people have at least one smart product in their home – up from 27% in the previous year’s study.
