Future smart home products will form a home entertainment system
According to IDC, In addition to security and energy efficiency, future
smart home products will form a home entertainment system, with a single device
allowing users to quickly and conveniently control multiple smart entertainment
devices in a variety of tailored scenarios. For example, Amazon’s Echo and its mini version Echo Dot, unveiled
in January at CES 2017, can connect with more than 7,000 different apps and
services. This greatly enhances the entertainment options available in the
smart home.
