Smart Home Controllers a Growing Market

Parks Associates has announced new Internet of Things (IoT) research indicating that nearly 4 percent of U.S. households will have a smart home controller by the end of 2014.

That figure is expected to increase to nearly 6 percent by 2015. The firm’s “Evolution of Smart Home and the Internet of Things,” which includes data from a 1Q 2014 survey of 10,000 U.S. broadband households, also reports that 64 percent of all smart devices currently in households operate as part of either a home control or security system.

Smart devices include motorized door controls, lighting controls, networked security camera, and programmable thermostats, among other devices.
