What is the difference between the appliances that smart home users actually use and the appliances they want to use? We asked GIGAZINE readers about their ideal and reality smart homes.



GIGAZINE reviews various smart home appliances, such as cleaning robots and smart plugs that allow you to remotely control devices that are not compatible with

IoT from your smartphone. Therefore, there must be many smart home appliance users, so we looked into the percentage and ' smart home appliances that you really want to use .'

When GIGAZINE asked readers, ' Do you use smart home appliances? If not, would you like to try them? ', the results were as follows: 28.0% said they would like to try them, 50.9% said they would not like to use them, and 21.1% said they already use smart home appliances.



Next, we asked people who already use smart home appliances about ' the appliances they control with their smartphones or PCs, ' and the results are as follows. The most commonly used smart home appliance is the air conditioner, followed by lights, televisions, electric fans, fans, and circulators, smart locks, robot vacuum cleaners, thermometers and hygrometers, infrared remote controls, smart plugs, speakers, air purifiers, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers, surveillance cameras, baby cameras, and pet cameras, scales, AV equipment, curtains, motion sensors, door phones, washing machines, opening and closing sensors, power monitors, sleep tracking devices, water heaters, refrigerators, coffee makers, microwaves, and smoke detectors.

Next, we asked people who answered that they actually use smart home appliances and those who answered that they want to use smart home appliances, ' What kind of home appliances would you like to control with your smartphone or PC ?' The results are below. From the perspective of those who 'want to use smart home appliances!' or 'are already using smart home appliances,' the number one 'smart home appliance that they really want' was air conditioners, with an overwhelming lead over the second place and below.



The items ranked second and below are: lights (→0), electric fans/circulators (↑1), smart locks (↑1), televisions (↓2), air purifiers/humidifiers/dehumidifiers (↑5), curtains (↑8), door phones (↑9), washing machines (↑9), surveillance cameras/baby cameras/pet cameras (↑2), robot vacuum cleaners (↓5), AV equipment (↑2), speakers (↓3), refrigerators (↑9), water heaters (↑7), motion sensors (→0), infrared remote controls (↓9), thermometers/hygrometers (↓11), smart plugs (↓10), scales (↓7), coffee makers (↑3), power monitors (↓2), opening/closing sensors (↓4), microwave ovens (↑1), sleep tracking devices (↓4), and smoke detectors (→0).

The items that rose significantly in the ranking of home appliances controlled by smartphones and PCs were door phones (↑9), washing machines (↑9), refrigerators (↑9), curtains (↑8), and water heaters (↑7), while the items that fell significantly were thermo-hygrometers (↓11), smart plugs (↓10), infrared remote controls (↓9), weighing scales (↓7), and robot vacuum cleaners (↓5). While it seemed like many of the items that fell significantly in the rankings were easy to install, inexpensive, or standard smart appliances, it was surprising to see a robot vacuum cleaner, which is synonymous with smart appliances, make the list.
