Parks Associates research focused specifically on Western European households recently and found that around 2.5 million households in that area are expected to use a smart home controller by the year 2019. The research company noted interoperability between devices will allow sales of controllers to grow and consumers to gain satisfaction from their use.

Stuart Sikes, the president of Parks Associates, specifically mentions that aspect in the company's latest news release.

“Smart home systems will need the flexibility to deliver multiple value propositions within the household,” Sikes said. “Interoperability is necessary to achieve recurring revenue models as it enables devices to deliver a broad array of value-added services and features.”
