Parks: Many Smart Home Products Used Daily

"Safety and security are the main drivers for consumer interest,” said Parks president Stuart Sikes.
Once people get the products home, Sikes added, consumers use them frequently. Among owners of most safety and security devices, 40 to 50 percent control or monitor the products on a daily basis, he said.

Parks also found that 23 percent of U.S. smartphone owners own a smart-home device and that more than three-fourths of them use their smartphone, tablet, or PC to control their smart home devices at least once per month.
