Technavio analysts highlight the following three market drivers that are
contributing to the growth of the smart home M2M market in the UK:

  • Increased installation of smart meters
  • Rise in the use of thermostats
  • Adoption of cloud-based technologies

Increased installation of smart meters

Smart meters offer a wide range of interactive and intelligent
solutions. They allow the consumers to manage energy resources
effectively by providing consumption details continuously. They send the
relevant home energy usage details to the energy supplier so that the
electricity bill can be generated and delivered without the obligation
to physically check the reading on the home meter. A smart meter
combined with an in-home display (IHD) offers real-time data about the
use of gas and electricity. These smart meters help the consumer to
monitor and control energy devices effectively using energy management
systems (EMS). Therefore, peak demand rates and blackouts can be avoided
by installing these devices instead of the traditional systems.

“This rolling out of smart meters will help customers to experience
energy-efficient methods, which drastically reduces the prohibitive
costs of energy. Smart meters of the future will function as the gateway
between smart homes and smart grids. They would be equipped to manage
the demand and supply of the energy sources in tandem with the home
energy management systems,”
says Abhishek Sharma, a lead analyst at
Technavio for M2M
and connected devices
research.

Rise in the use of thermostats

Programmable thermostats are devices that are used to adjust the room
temperature to the desired level automatically. They are used to manage
the energy supply inside homes. These devices enable users to set the
required temperature inside the house from a remote location using a
smartphone or a tablet. The maximum demand for these devices comes from
energy and utility retailers.

The shipment of these devices is rapidly increasing in Western Europe
including the UK region with the increasing need for programmable
thermostats. Heating and cooling applications generally produce high
electricity bills. Therefore, programmable thermostats and zone-based
thermostats can be used as energy-efficient solutions to reduce the
excessive costs of energy. Users can save up to USD 180 per annum by
implementing home automation solutions like smart thermostats.

Adoption of cloud-based technologies

The smart home cloud center platform can be categorized into three
divisions, namely cloud service platform, carrier platform, and smart
IoT gateway. Cloud-based services decrease the complexity of software
issues that crop up in the connected devices and facilitate
interoperability of devices in a simpler way. Most residential users are
rapidly adopting cloud-based home security solutions that have
self-monitoring and remote-service features. It provides a user-friendly
interface to homeowners helping them to arm, disarm, and check the
security status of their house from a remote location. Further,
cloud-based services are also used to store images captured by
surveillance systems so that they can be used in the future.

Cloud-based services ensure low cost of ownership and on-demand
scalability without any additional cost to the homeowners. Hence, smart
homes have the potential of having a huge presence in the UK market with
the growth of cloud technology
,” says Abhishek.
