Gartner Says a Typical Family Home Could Contain More Than 500 Smart Devices by 2022
The falling cost of adding sensing and communications to consumer products will mean that a typical family home, in a mature affluent market, could contain several hundred smart objects by 2022, according to Gartner, Inc. Gartner said that the smart home will be an area of dramatic evolution over the next decade and will offer many innovative digital business opportunities to those organisations who can adapt their products and services to exploit it.
