26% Own A Smart Device, 53% Installed It Themselves

April 28, 2018

The study, by Parks Associates, found that more than a quarter (26%) of U.S. broadband households own at least one smart home device, such as smart thermostat, video doorbell or smart door lock.

Of course, not every consumer is taking a just-do-it approach, with a 25% hiring a contractor and 24% having a product installed by the company that sold them the smart device.

From the article "26% Own A Smart Device, 53% Installed It Themselves" by Chuck Martin.
