Home automation has never been so accessible. And the reasons behind it are quite obvious.
First, homeownership has never been higher. Many global and national agencies have identified record low homeownership vacancy rates. The COVID-19 pandemic has assuredly played a role in that.
And consider that amid the pandemic, people were also spending much more time at home. This additional time meant more wear and tear and white goods, and higher home entertainment demands. And the boundary between appliance and electronics only gets more blurry with each passing year.
So not only is today's home automation technology more impressive than ever - it is more popular than ever.
