Smart home systems a no-brainer for growth, researchers say

Separately, research firm Parks Associates on Thursday said nearly 4% of U.S. households will have a smart home controller by year's end, rising to nearly 6% in 2015. Such devices can control lighting systems, garage door openers, networked security cameras and programmable thermostats.

"The majority of smart devices installed today were acquired as part of a security or home controls system deployed by providers such as ADT, Comcast or AT&T," Parks Associates analyst Tom Kerber said in a press release. "However, consumers are starting to buy individual products such as smart programmable thermostats and smart smoke detectors in greater numbers and install them as stand-alone devices — but with the expectation that these new devices will interact with all existing and future devices in the home."

From the article, "Smart home systems a no-brainer for growth, researchers say" by Patrick Seitz.
