But delivering on these potentially conflicting promises depends on how they are adopted and used in homes. This book starts by developing a new analytical framework for understanding smart homes and their users. Drawing on a range of new empirical research combining both qualitative and quantitative data, the book then explores how smart home technologies are perceived by potential users, how they can be used to link domestic energy use to common daily activities, how they may (or may not) be integrated into everyday life by actual users, and how they serve to change the nature of control within households and the home. The book concludes by synthesising a range of evidence-based insights, and posing a series of challenges for industry, policy, and research that need addressing if a smart home future is to be realised. Researchers will find this book provides useful insights into this fast-growing field.SpringerBriefs in Human-Computer Interaction,2520-1689User interfaces (Computer systems)Human-computer interactionEnvironmental sciencesSocial aspectsElectric power productionUser Interfaces and Human Computer InteractionEnvironmental Social SciencesElectrical Power EngineeringMechanical Power EngineeringUser interfaces (Computer systems).Human-computer interaction.Environmental sciencesSocial aspects.Electric power production.User Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction.Environmental Social Sciences.Electrical Power Engineering.Mechanical Power Engineering.696Hargreaves Tomauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1060424Wilson Charlieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254849803321Smart Homes and Their Users2513514UNINA
