Home automation is an established, albeit niche, market that is reaching an inflection point as new types of systems, such as those incorporating standards-based "no-new-wires" technologies and managed services offered by broadband service providers, join the established custom-designed and installed luxury home automation market. As this evolution progresses, there are many pressing questions about consumer preferences and activities with respect to home automation technologies and services.

Such questions include: what percentage of consumers currently have a home automation system deployed? Of those who don’t have a home automation system deployed, what percentage plan to do so within the next year? Next three years? How do consumers prefer to acquire home automation technology? How much are consumers willing to pay for home automation technology? How are consumers most interested in interfacing with their home automation systems? How interested are consumers in "no-new-wires" technologies? What home automation sub-applications are consumers most interested in using?

This presentation offers the consumer survey results and accompanying analysis of ABI Research’s 2010 US Consumer Survey, with respect to consumer attitudes and activities in the area of home automation. Survey participants were adults of at least 18 years of age and were either the sole decision-maker or shared decision-making for home automation for their home.
