While the high-end of the market is driven by audio, video and control, the middle-income buyer appears to be driven more by security-related devices.

According to data Parks Associates in a survey of broadband households, the most “appealing” smart-home devices to connect are:

1. Smoke/gas/water leak detectors (appealing to about 50 percent)
2. Motion/door/window sensors
3. Appliances
4. Lights
5. Stove/oven
6. Thermostat
7. Panic button
8. Security cameras
9. Door locks (appealing to about 33 percent)
