But flashy automation isn’t the only reason that smart technology is becoming commonplace – only 24% of smart home tech owners bought it for that reason. A staggering 40% bought it to save money on their bills. This can be seen by the popularity of the different products. Smart TV’s are and will be the most popular product for the foreseeable future, as entertainment based tech will always be the most accessible. But close behind them are other more niche products. 33% of smart home tech buyers own a smart thermostat so that heating and energy usage can be monitored and controlled remotely, removing the possibility of accidentally leaving the heating on when leaving the house, but also giving you the comforting option of warming your house before you get back in the winter.
