100 Connected Home Innovations

From Centralized Smart Home Hubs to Energy-Efficient Thermostats:

From smart home hubs that allow for centralized control to energy-efficient thermostats that provide a high-tech solution for sustainable living, it is clear that there is a growing demand for connected home innovations. This demand is largely driven by millennials who are looking for smart home technology that will help them streamline everyday tasks while also facilitating a more sustainable lifestyle.

Many millennials prefer using their smartphone to carry out everyday tasks, therefore brands have begun integrating their home devices with smartphone control. This feature allows millennials to use the technology they are familiar with as a single platform for controlling and streamlining everything in their home. Some examples of smartphone integrated home devices include device-oriented thermostats, connected air-monitoring sensors and wireless HD security systems.

Beyond helping millennials streamline everyday tasks, smart home devices also cater to the desire to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Indeed, many millennials are interested in reducing their environmental footprint by making their home more eco-friendly. Some connected home innovations that help consumers stay green include digital devices that monitor water consumption and alert consumers when they have used too much, as well as app-connected herb gardens that bring urban gardening directly into the home.
