Parks Associates: 23% of US. Broadband Households Intend to Buy a Smart Thermostat in 2019

Smart Energy Summit to Feature Session, Sponsored by Bidgely, on Maximizing Energy Data

New data from Parks Associates finds 23% of U.S. broadband households plan to buy a smart thermostat in 2019, while 24% are likely to buy a smart lightbulb. The growth in connected devices will further expand the amount of consumer data available, and the IoT research firm’s 10th-annual Smart Energy Summit: Engaging the Consumer will feature a special session, “The Energy Data Goldmine,” to discuss opportunities for utilities to leverage data to strengthen customer relationships, realize new revenue opportunities, and modernize grid operations.

“Data is a new and important form of currency in the IoT ecosystem, where AI and machine learning can unlock the value in data for a variety of players, including utilities and energy providers,” said Brad Russell, Research Director, Connected Home, Parks Associates. “Our research shows consumers are generally uncomfortable with an outside party controlling their ‘stuff,’ but energy services built on consumer data can customize and personalize load control and other energy solutions to expand participation and save energy.”
