Early Adopters are Using Smart Home Technology to Monitor & Control TV, Media and Programming

Smart home technology provides convenience and efficiency around the home. It is important to consumers to be in control of technology that is in their private home. As such, Wi-Fi enabled appliances are preferred by consumers; as they only incur a one-time hardware fee, with the ability to manage the technology themselves. The idea of cutting costs and creating a more resourceful and safe environment for their home is appealing. The remote ability of always being connected with their home provides a peace of mind for consumers. While consumers are willing to adopt one company to provide all smart home services, the provider must establish a sense of knowledge and expertise within all areas. Gaining trust as well as positive reviews is also imperative for consumers to consider a company to provide smart home services.
