Europeans Look to Smart Homes for Personal Safety Before Convenience, SA Reports

Personal safety and emergency notifications are the most desired smart home features among European broadband households with at least one smartphone, said a Tuesday Strategy Analytics report. Alerts to fire and other emergencies were five times more desired than the ability to schedule or adjust window coverings remotely, said the survey of 6,000 broadband households. The least desired functions were ability to program lights, cover windows and control a gate.
