“By the end of 2015, nearly six million professionally monitored homes will also have smart home control as part of their security system,” said Tom Kerber, Director, Research, Home Controls & Energy, Parks Associates. “Smart home is firmly entrenched as part [of] the U.S. security industry, thanks to both push and pull factors. Companies such as Vivint, AT&T and ADT have been aggressive in offering smart home features with their systems, while security owners are open to new technologies. Security households are 150% more likely than non-security households to state that they keep up with technological innovations and like to own the latest devices.”
