Younger households adopt smart-home devices at a higher rate than older households, but older households with smart-home devices own more devices on average, Parks Associates found in a survey.Smart-home adoption also increases with house size, Parks said.
Among U.S. broadband households with a head of household ages 25 to 34, the adoption rate of smart-home products is almost 30 percent, the highest of any age group. Among heads of household ages 35 to 44, adoption is only 21 percent, but those households own the highest number of smart-home products with an average of two, Parks said. Networked security cameras, smart thermostats and smart door locks lead the adoption rates.
