Wide gap still exist between smart home technology applications and scenario-based services

I can observe that, based on its analysis of smart home devices and systems in 2016 and a few new product technologies that emerged in early 2017, IDC finds that a wide gap still exist between smart home technology applications and scenario-based services, implying that smart home product R&D should focus on future trends such as artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the functionality of the smart home.
