Adoption of Home Control Systems Experienced 38% Year-Over-Year Growth Rate
New research from Parks Associates' Smart Home Buyer Journey and User Experience, a survey of 10,000 broadband households fielded at the end of 2019, reveals that adoption of home control systems experienced a 38 percent year-over-year growth rate. The research firm confirms that 18 percent of U.S. broadband households have a home control system and that roughly one-half of households with a home control system purchased their system with their first smart home device.
"The majority of home control systems are integrated into a home security system, indicating the success of the security channel in particular in promoting the value proposition of home systems," said Brad Russell, research director, connected home, Parks Associates. "The conversion of legacy security subscribers to interactive security services that support smart home automation is driving the increase in home control systems, while adoption of DIY home control systems independent of security has remained flat."
