Eibar, 10 November 2014.- Today’s connected home is a changing place. The growing infiltration of high speed broadband is allowing consumers to acquire new habits and new devices with greater interconnection capacities. In this sense, it must be noted that, according to a recent study by Parks Associates, 11% of Spanish homes with broadband already have a smart system for controlling homes, ahead of the United Kingdom, with 9%, and 5% in Germany.
A Smart Home is much more than just domotics. A real Smart Home is that which interacts with all home systems with a singular objective: to provide help. The big difference of a smart home lies in its ability to interact with the rest of the systems, depending on specific needs at any given time.
Hence the trend is to provide homes with interconnected gadgets via Wi-Fi by using a smart net. New Smart Home services that Telecommunication and Utility Companies are currently demanding so they can integrate these services into other customer offers.
Given this market opportunity, Domoalert has developed its comprehensive platform on the iCloud to control home domotics from a mobile device in an intuitive and simple way. In this sense, Natividad García, Domoalert’s CEO, points out that “TELECOM companies need tools that ensure loyalty from their customers and this represents a huge growth potential for Domoalert”.
