More Than 1 In 5 Intend To Use A Smart Watch To Control A Smart Home

Many consumers who own or plan to buy a smart watch will use it to control smart-home devices, a Parks Associates survey found.

More than one in five U.S. broadband households that own or plan to buy a smart watch intend to use this device to control such home-automation devices as lights, garage doors, thermostats and the like, Parks said. Almost 20 home-automation suppliers have created Apple Watch apps, the company noted.

“The accessibility of a smart watch makes it a natural fit as a remote control for smart home features such as turning on lights remotely, closing garage doors, and adjusting thermostat settings," said Harry Wang, Parks mobile and health products research director. The extra convenience that wearables offer will grow when “voice-control APIs become more capable and intelligent,” he added.
