Internet Based Home Control and Enabled Products: Today's Smart Home
In-Stat/MDR, June 2004, Pages: 50
This report covers the Internet enabled smart home with regard to smart home networks and products. While home networking and automation can be done without accessing the Internet, this report will only focus on those solutions and products that can be plugged into the Internet enabled home network. Drivers such as consumer education, the state of household infrastructure and the type of community in which consumers live that affect the enabled smart home market will be discussed in the first section of the report. In addition, the number of US households online, US and worldwide broadband and home network penetration, and master planned communities will be forecasted and analyzed.
Technologies, market drivers, and trends for products in the smart home will be discussed in the second half of the report. In-Stat/MDR divides the product segments for the smart home into two categories: home control and monitoring and networked consumer electronics. The home control and monitoring category is further divided into three segments, devices used for control of the home such as lighting and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning), home security products like network cameras, and home appliances, such as those found in the kitchen or laundry room. Networked or IP enabled Consumer Electronics (CE) are expanding to include most consumer electronics products.
