Some analysts have suggested that the smart home market is slowing down, and/or that it is due for a shake-out as consumers struggle to realize the value of some new connected devices. (See Analysts Predict Smart Home Slow Down.)

However, industry watchers also conclude that services that take advantage of multiple connected devices are helping to bridge the gap between early adoption and mainstream smart home deployments. Parks Associates, for example, notes that major service providers are gaining traction with professionally monitored security systems, with the result that the security market grew to 23% penetration in 2014 after years of hovering around 20%.
