Basically, nothing new under the sun here.
Home automation market has nothing new to offer for a long time now.
Cleaning bots, lights, doorlocks and a few sensors, that’s (basically) what we have had for years and there’s nothing new to expect in the near future.
We see some new lights and locks, but they are still lights and locks.
We started with just a few brands that offered all this, now we have hundreds of brands all offering te same, except that quite a few (cheap) brands do bad things with your cloud-stored data.
A lot of households installed ‘smart’-home to save on energy. Now lights pop on when they are not at home and they wonder why the energybill is higher.
It’s a strange and self ruining market.
