The Home of the Future, Today
Connected Living driving
innovation and opportunities
Ere long intelligence — transmitted without wires — will throb
through the earth like a pulse through a living organism.
- Nikola Tesla, 1892

Home of the Future
Smart, Subtle, Ubiquitous
Today
For Smart Home Markets to Succeed They Must Be:
4
Frictionless: Easy to use,
subtle, and ever present
Economical: Must be
affordable to the masses to
recognize potential and
benefits
Automated: Optimal
operation in place at all times
Connected: Integration of
information and
communications in our daily
lives makes this a necessity
Aesthetic: Functionality and
style are intertwined
Evolution of the Smart and Connected Home
From Products… to Integrated Solutions From Devices… to Whole House Networks From Independent Security Systems, HVAC, Lighting… to Connected Living Systems

2020 Product Automation Building Performance Smart Technology
Consumer electronics powerhouses (Apple, Google, Samsung, etc.) are entering the smart home devices
market. These companies have unlimited technological resources are more knowledgeable about
consumer behavior than conventional device manufacturers and will be able to deliver rich consumer
experiences.
Smart Along the Life-Work-Interact Space
Intersecting Facets of Life in Connected Living
Home Technologies Market =
$2Billion+ in North America
Home Automation/Whole House
Systems Segment =
$1Billion+ in North America
Added to that can be all the
services and solutions that will
impact how we live, work, travel,
and socialize…
Connected Living =
$29Billion+ Globally

Z-Wave’s Role As Enabler of the Future
Connecting the Connected Home
Integration Across Various Interfaces Will be Necessary

Cell phones and tablets are already replacing thermostats or other in-home displays as the key interface for the smart home.
Interconnectivity Across the Smart Home
Smart Home System
Frost & Sullivan’s definition is a system that provides integrated control over at least two household devices
Lighting
Lighting scenes
Illumination sequences
Simulated occupation
Climate Control
Heating
Ventilation
Air conditioning
Window Treatments

The Competitive Landscape
Opportunities Across All Sectors and Markets
Opportunities Abound for Diversified Market Participants
Z-Wave
ZigBee
BLE Thread
Wi-Fi
Presumably similar to ZigBee IP
At the time of this presentation indication of
product-level interoperability unavailable
Standard arrives mid-2015
Primarily in:
Phone
Tablet
Laptops
Personal Area (PAN) applications with fewer
than 10 devices at time of presentation
Common in fitness devices, speakers
Whole house systems
Multiple, competing vendors can use it
such as:
Security
Activity Sensors
Occupancy Sensors
House Monitoring
Health/Safety
HA Product level interoperability
> 1,200 products
Used in a variety of markets
including residential, commercial
and power grid

New Frontiers for Smart Homes
Expanding opportunities for a
changing population
Increasingly Complex World Needs Frictionless Solutions
In 2009, 1 in 8 Americans was 65+, about 40 million people
In 2030, over 72 million Americans, almost 1 in 5, will be over 65 with ever increasing life expectancy
Source: Administration on aging. aoa.gov,
the United Nations, and Frost & Sullivan
Homes will have additional monitoring of activity, living patterns and conditions, in addition to security, remote monitoring and energy management
In January 2011, first baby boomers turned 65
Between 2011 and 2030 an estimated 10,000 people expected to cross age 65 years every day.
New Frontiers: Telehealth
• Telehealth may be a key driver for smart home systems considering the growth
of the aging population
• For example, a doctor may want frequent monitoring of a patient’s glucose level
or blood pressure, or an adult child may want be alerted of any falls from his/her
elderly parent
• Telehealth at its core is the utilization of advanced communication technologies
to provide medical care and health services at a distance and has proven itself
to be a core component of patient engagement.
• Telehealth is not new, and legacy systems, such as those in cardiac ECG,
personal emergency response systems (PERS), and home healthcare, provide
much needed lessons for current participants.
• The consumer-focused part of telehealth is already a booming market,
contributing billions to the overall industry with markets, such as PERS.
• Already over a $2Billion market in North America, and many of these personal
devices will have smart-home interactivity and compatibility
