Recent Parks Associates research shows the smartphone as the default controller for many smart home and IoT connections, with smartphone adoption at nearly 90% of U.S. broadband households. These users have expanded to alternate interfaces, including voice control, with almost 40% of smartphone users making use of the voice recognition function.
Parks Associates will discuss the dynamics of the smart home in multiple sessions 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.
