상호운용성과 생성 AI : 차세대 스마트홈 UI

A unified smart home experience is the holy grail of convenience and value for consumers, but fragmentation and interoperability issues plague the smart home ecosystem. This report evaluates consumer preferences for smart home control and UI, trends in interoperability and standards, such as Matter, and the expected impact of generative AI on smart home controls. It includes a 5-year forecast of the installed base of smart home devices in the United States.

SAMPLE VIEW

Key Questions:

• Why will Matter and generative AI shift interface strategies for device makers and service providers?

• What limits surround Matter's ability to improve the smart home experience?

• How will the emergence of generative AI affect today's voice-driven control agents?

• How can device makers differentiate using emerging user interface features?

• How will broadening device suites affect service provider competition?

ANALYST INSIGHT:

"There is hope for a more unified smart home experience as two disruptions enter the industry. The first is Matter. The second is generative AI," said Ross Rubin, Sr. Contributing Analyst, Parks Associates.
