Smart Home at CES

Manufacturers at the 2014 International CES are making a more compelling case for the connected home by focusing on practical technological applications. That's a major step forward in the market's development, and a major change in the messaging from previous years.

At CES 2014, though, it appears manufacturers have learned from past mistakes. Gone is the idea of simply gluing an iPad to the front of a fridge and calling it "smart."

Also gone is the idea that an appliance must have direct access to the Internet to be considered smart. Your fridge doesn't need apps. It just needs to be able to communicate with you — and with the other devices in your home.

The message from manufacturers this year is much clearer: "Smart" means connected and secure, practical and useful, simple and affordable. Smart is something you want.
A smart home fits in your pocket and goes where you go, figuratively speaking.
A smart home has eyes and ears to monitor every door and window, as well as a "mouth" to tell you when something changes. This translates into real, practical applications when it comes to safety, security and surveillance.
