Device-Oriented Thermostats

The Netatmo Wireless Thermostat is Best Controlled via Smartphone

— January 29, 2016 — Tech

Coming in five color variations, the Netatmo thermostat can be controlled via a smartphone, laptop or tablet to help increase the precision of the device by incorporating existing technology in the home.

Although the device can be controlled from the unit itself, the Netatmo thermostat pushes users to other devices to offer enhanced functionality, statistics and other benefits. This shift in the consumer electronics market toward Internet of Things (IOT) devices that push for smartphone integration are transforming consumer perceptions. Being that the devices often require other technology to operate to their maximum capacity, the market is evolving to favor technology add-ons rather than standalone products.

3. Technology Add-ons - The shift towards technology add-ons instead of standalone products provides opportunity for businesses to develop complementary add-ons that enhance consumer experience and device functionality for the Netatmo wireless thermostat and other similar devices.
Industry Implications
