IoT-Ready Smart TVs: What's The Potential?

Barbara Kraus, Parks Associates director of research, also sees potential. “There are a number of potential use cases for the TV as a smart-home controller,” she said. “The TV display can be used as a notification venue for certain use cases such as detection of movement around a sensor or camera. The TV can show who is at the front door or if a package has been delivered, unlock the door for approved visitors, adjust the lighting to set a mood, or automate household routines.”
