Adoption in smart home technology is moving beyond single endpoint solutions and the average number of devices in the home continues to climb, as today's homes boast an average of 14 internet-connected devices. Platforms are seeking to deliver a unified experience that is the "holy grail" of the smart home value proposition, and security and privacy have become important areas for investment for device manufacturers and a major source of concern for consumers. Data from Parks Associates finds that 79% of US broadband households are concerned about data security or privacy, with identity theft, viruses and spyware, unauthorized access to devices, and private information topping the list of concerns.
