Recent Parks Associates research shows that 23% of U.S. pay-TV consumers watch authenticated video at least once a month, which both broadens and deepens the online video audience for pay-TV providers. The research also showed the usage of TV Everywhere reached 40% of pay-TV consumers in 2015, up from 22% in 2013.
Parks Associates’ analysts will discuss pay-TV innovations and forecasts in the consumer-based IoT at the 20th-annual CONNECTIONS™: The Premier Connected Home Conference, May 24-26 in San Francisco. The event hosts over 650 executives from the connected entertainment, IoT, and smart home industries and is focused specifically on strategies to fully engage consumers in the connected home experience.

leakSMART™ is a complete, wireless solution that helps to completely eliminate the threat of water damage by detecting leaks and immediately shutting off the home’s main water supply – all in less than five seconds.
The patented leakSMART Valve connects to a home’s main water supply, and wireless leakSMART Sensors monitor moisture and temperature. At the first sign of a leak, the system shuts off the home’s main water supply and then notifies the homeowner of the leak on a mobile device, keeping everyone in constant control of the home’s water.
leakSMART, a Zigbee® certified device, is compatible with Iris® by Lowe’s®, WINK®, SmartThings®, and a growing list of smart home systems; a leakSMART complete home system with hub is also available.
