The smart home market is maturing right in front of our eyes. Consumer awareness is rising and prices are coming down, while the internet-of-things technology (IoT) inside these devices is simultaneously becoming more intuitive and expansive.

In fact, the predecessor to the Android Operating System, Fuchsia, is reportedly geared toward a more integrated technological environment allowing for voice-enabled interactions across the full scope of smart home devices. Furthermore, seeing the writing on the wall, Best Buy, a trusted technology advisor to the mass market, recently launched an in-home advisor program assisting customers with smart-home setups, live demonstrations and free in-home consultations.

Yet, the reach of smart home technology adoption stretches far beyond the confines of the single-family home as evidenced by Hilton’s “Connected Room” rollout this year, where guests can control aspects of their rooms with their mobile devices. This initiative by Hilton – a powerful customer service differentiator – will eventually equip hotel rooms with devices similar to Amazon’s Echo.

Therefore, it is no surprise that smart home technology and IoT are experiencing rapid growth. Analysts predict
