Awareness and adoption of smart home products by everyday consumers has finally reached mass-market acceptance. According to Parks Associates, 48 percent of U.S. households with broadband intend to buy at least one smart home device this year, up by a whopping 66 percent over 2017. Brick-and-mortar retailers will play an important and profitable new role in this exploding sector. A solid omnichannel game plan has major advantages toward the smart home customer experience that can't be matched by pure e-commerce.
