“Saving money is a key benefit to flip smart home non-buyers to buyers,” said Jennifer Kent, Senior Director, Parks Associates. “Offering discounts or rebates for products such as smart thermostats, light bulbs, switches, and lighting control systems lowers the affordability barrier to purchasing and increases the role of energy and utilities in the smart home ecosystem.”
