Abstract

Smart home systems for energy efficiency have the potential to reduce global emissions and help save valuable resources. However, users are still hesitant to adopt such systems for various reasons. In this work in progress, we present a pre-study with current users and potential users of such systems to explore their reservations and experiences. Even if limited in size and significance, the pre-study shows some interesting trends, such as a correlation between a high level of education and a lower willingness to adopt a smart home system. Starting from these observations, we define a novel technology adoption model for smart home systems from the users’ perspective. We identify a list of recommendations for future products and services and our own research questions for the future.
