In 2014, two-thirds of consumers with broadband were not familiar with smart-home services or products or where to buy them, according to a white paper from the Consumer Electronics Association and Park Associates. Now, 86 percent of consumers \u201care confident they know what it means when someone says they have a smart home,\u201d according to a survey conducted by Finn Futures of about 1,000 U.S. adults.<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"1.1458333333333\">\n<p><strong>Read more<\/strong>: <span class=\"l\">The Next Big Thing in Smart-Home Tech<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Consumers see greater use for smart-home tech, now and in the future. For example, 77 percent of respondents recently surveyed by Finn Futures say they believe it\u2019ll be normal to have a robot in their home within 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>The top three smart home features consumers say they would value most now in a smart home are locks and doors (55 percent); thermostat (44 percent); and lighting (41 percent). A voice-controlled assistant (22 percent) and entertainment (25 percent) lagged behind.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Emotion plays an important role when it comes to consumers&#8217; willingness to adopt connected technology,&#8221; says\u00a0Sabrina Horn, managing partner, U.S. technology practice with Finn Partners. &#8220;People want to feel in control of their lives and of their loved ones&#8217; well-being, so it isn&#8217;t surprising that we always see peace of mind as the top motivator in smart-home adoption. Communications professionals need to help brands and other connected technology sectors tap into this finding with more visually oriented and multifaceted market awareness campaigns.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/realtormag.realtor.org\/sites\/realtormag.realtor.org\/files\/rmo_files\/images\/2017_may\/FinnFutures_SmartTech_Infographic.jpg\" style=\"width: 600px; height: 1874px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Finn Partners Inc.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a hre=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/DailyRealEstateNews\/~3\/uJcDV095188\/smart-homes-are-no-longer-futuristic-concept\"> Realtors.org <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The smart home has come a long way in just three years.
