A workshop held on June 30th provided the Living Lab test households in Siegen with the opportunity to compare notes and demonstrate their experiences so far with their Smart Home systems. The aim was to gain a better understanding of how such technology finds its way into daily routines, and which individual applications are already controlled by Smart Home technology. Results have shown that at the moment, demands of comfort enhancement, energy saving and security are important to users. However, users find a prioritization of these use cases virtually impossible.

In addition, the workshop was used to discuss which aspects work well and which need further improvement. The meeting was accompanied by our project partners devolo AG, the peak lab. and ASEW who discussed with users on an equal footing.
