Matter makes it mainstream
While the release of the Matter protocol may not have been as swift as initially expected, 2024 is poised to be the
year it revolutionizes smart home ownership. As we discussed in our guide
to Matter, “Matter’s mission is to make smart devices work together regardless of the
brand.” This connectivity standard allows for easier device setups and easier integration between smart home
devices. It makes smart home living more accessible to even the less than tech-savvy among us. With more Matter-integrated
products coming to the market. We expect smart home living to become more mainstream in 2024.
Augmented reality enters the smart home
With the launch of the Apple
Vision Pro in February 2024, the stage is set for a more widespread adoption of augmented reality (AR)
controls for our smart homes. With Apple being a global leader in setting tech trends, it’s a safe bet that a
surge in popularity for AR devices might arrive in 2024. With Xiaomi also having developed AR glasses that let you
control smart home tech, how smart homeowners will interact with their smart ecosystem is gearing up for an AR
revolution.
A smarter smart assistant
From Google Official Website
As early as our primer
on AI chat tools, we’ve already predicted that Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration is the next
step for smart assistants and smart home products. Amazon
Alexa already took this next step in 2023, and we believe this will become the standard by 2024. With AI and
machine learning tools rapidly growing, we predict their use in the smart home space to be even better by 2024. With
all smart assistants in the market to grow more intuitive and predictive to smart homeowners’ needs.
All-in-one smart home tech
From LG
In the race for efficiency and space optimization, we predict multifunctional smart devices to trend in 2024.
Multifunctionality isn’t new in smart home tech. Most smart assistants already double as speakers. However, we
predict the smart home space to be more innovative with its offerings in 2024. LG’s AeroFurniture series are end
tables that also function as smart air purifiers and wireless charging stations. The PLDT Home Stream TV also
doubles as a smart hub and speaker box. We think 2024 has much to offer in multipurpose smart home products and we
can’t wait for what’s in store.
