Devices that connect to the Internet to provide greater convenience, security and efficiency for the home are shaping up to be the next hot consumer electronic category.

In all, the category should grow from $2.4 billion in 2014 to more than $4 billion by 2017, according to Steve Koenig, director of industry analysis at the CEA.
