Homeowners who discover smart technology in hotels are creating demand for the same technology at home, according to smart home experts, Dan DiClerico and John Attala. The pair acknowledged occupancy sensors, predictive maintenance, bathroom technology and smart parking as some of the technology being showcased through hotels. Developers are now integrating smart tech into new builds, further raising awareness, they said. While predictive maintenance for homes has yet to be introduced, sensor-control is already familiar through heating and lighting systems that help cut energy use and costs. “Smart technologies will become more pervasive over time,” said Mr. Attala, a partner with New York-based firm Atalla & Associates.
