The market for smart devices may still be in its infancy, but 37% of US broadband homes are expected to become early adopters and buy at least one ‘smart' device this year.

The figures come from the latest IoT research from Parks Associates, who have been tracking changing consumer sentiments towards connected devices and smart appliances over the past year.

Its studies show that although it is still a very new category of high-tech devices and services, consumers are already being drawn towards products that offer greater security, protection and control of their property and their loved ones.

Smart smoke detectors, connected intruder alarms, window sensors and smart thermostats, for example, have all already started to appeal to a growing number of households.
