Icontrol Networks share insights on the smart home market at CONNECTIONS™: The Premier Connected Home Conference, May 19-21

Parks Associates today announced Letha McLaren, Chief Marketing Officer of Icontrol Networks, will share insights on consumer awareness and new channel strategies to deliver the connected home experience during a special fireside chat at CONNECTIONS™: The Premier Connected Home Conference, on Wednesday, May 20, at 5:00 P.M.

The research firm will host the 19^th-annual CONNECTIONS™: The Premier Connected Home Conference at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport, May 19-21, and feature keynote presentations from Comcast Cable, Nest, Samsung, and Verizon.

“The residential security market landscape is changing rapidly, creating a threat to industry incumbents and an opportunity for both new and existing players,” said Tom Kerber, Director, Research, Home Controls & Energy, Parks Associates. “The addition of interactive services, cloud video storage and analytics, and smart home solutions has enhanced the value proposition, expanding the market while creating incremental revenue for the industry. These changing market dynamics create new opportunities for dealers.”

Recent Parks Associates research shows roughly 25% of U.S. broadband households find at least one value-added monitoring service very appealing. These services include energy, HVAC, or appliance monitoring, and bundling these solutions with home services boosts interest in the latter by up to 50%.

“Icontrol has been in the interactive security and home automation space for more than ten years, and I can confidently say there has never been a more exciting time for this industry,” said Letha McLaren, Chief Marketing Officer, Icontrol Networks. “Ever since the last CONNECTIONS™ event, Icontrol has expanded into several new geographies and markets, and announced a variety of partnerships. I look forward to discussing the evolution of this dynamic smart home space with other industry leaders.”  

Icontrol Networks, a Platinum Sponsor of CONNECTIONS™,  recently announced the launch of Icontrol One, a solution that provides an easy-to-use home automation experience that delivers the features homeowners want, including immersive HD video, an award-winning user interface, and compatibility with an extensive open ecosystem of smart devices.
