The average U.S. household now has 17 connected devices and Parks Associates recognizes that more and more of in-home technology is going to energy management.
Research group Parks Associates hosts a day of sessions at CES called the CONNECTIONS Summit, which identified some of those hot home technology trends. Two of the most popular home technology advancements center around smart home innovations and energy management.
Parks Associates collects and publishes data that validates those trends. For example, smart home devices are now staples in 42% of U.S. internet households, and the average household now has 17 connected devices.
One trend that is now at the top according to Parks Associates is new advances in home energy management and efficiency, driving the adoption of smart home solutions.
Parks Associates tracks the challenges in device integration and management. It sees the rise of Smart TVs as central control hubs and the adoption of interoperability standards like the Matter protocol as the next part of the evolution to simplify very complex smart home ecosystems.
