CES Sells Consumers on the Effortlessly Automated Smart Home

The rush to get connected devices to market, and into ecosystems that matter, is just heating up in 2015. CES is the kickoff point, but the space will only grow more convoluted and busier throughout the year. Parks Associates estimates that the sale of smart home devices will nearly double over the next few years, increasing from 20 million at the end of last year to 36 million units by 2017.

By the time next year's CES rolls around, we will likely see more energy-specific pieces of the smart home, such as EV integration and appliances that run when a home's solar panels have the most output. At least one EV charging company was already touting such a capability at CES 2015: ChargePoint's new residential charger can interface with the Nest thermostat.
