State of the Connected Home Market Study (2008)

In one of the more striking examples of cross-industry collaboration, 10 top companies – Whirlpool Corporation, Bell Canada, Cisco Systems, Direct Energy, Hewlett-Packard Company, Leviton, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Legrand and Zensys/Z-Wave teamed up to conduct one of the most in-depth studies ever launched into the state of the connected home. Consumers were most interested in an easy, seamless way to integrate all their smart home devices from mobile to TV to appliance. This research is a follow up to the previous State of the Connected Home studies that were completed in 2003 and 2005.
