85% of U.S. homeowners now rely on at least one smart-home device, and more than half plan to buy more in the next year.
This is according to Vivint’s inaugural How We Home report.
It seems this holiday season, millions of homeowners aren’t just decking the halls—they are outfitting the house with connected technology.
Here’s a few key drivers:
- Most homeowners bought 1-3 new devices this past year, and new interest remains high.
- Security and energy are two top priorities.
- Cost and simplicity still influence decisions.
- Integration matters to buyers.
What does this mean as we head to the new year? Will the biggest smart-home players keep dominating? Can niche innovators carve out a place in the market? How will energy-management features shape the next wave of adoption?
