Smart home adoption continues to accelerate as connected solutions move beyond early tech enthusiasts and gain traction with mainstream consumers. With this shift comes a new set of expectations. Today’s households are no longer satisfied with simple app-enabled devices, they want intelligent, cohesive systems that deliver real value and simplify daily life.

New white paper, Smart Home Value Stack: Energy, Security, Intelligence, in partnership with Vivint, explores the evolving value proposition of the smart home, centered around a foundational “value stack” of security, energy, and control and highlighting how automation, unified control, and strategic partnerships deliver smarter, experiences to broader groups.

The white paper also addresses how even as AI enables deeper intelligence and efficiency, consumers still rely on expert assistance for onboarding, troubleshooting, and maximizing the value of their smart home investments. The interplay of advanced technology and thoughtful human service creates a more trusted and approachable user experience.  

With data-backed consumer insights, preferences, and behaviors, Smart Home Value Stack: Energy, Security, Intelligence, outlines a clear vision for a curated, automated, and deeply human smart home experience. By aligning security, energy management, and intelligent control, the industry can create solutions that deliver both functional benefits and emotional value. This white paper provides meaningful guidance aiming to elevate offerings, strengthen customer relationships, and shape the next era of the connected home.
