NEW YORK – While smart-home technology adds convenience to a homeowner’s lifestyle, many Americans worry about potential shortcomings when it comes to users’ privacy. The average person owns five smart-home devices, according to a new poll of 1,000 consumers conducted by Frontier, a telecommunications company. The most popular smart devices are TVs (61%), speakers (35%) and lightbulbs (25%).

However, less than one in four (22%) has a smart security system, roughly the same number that have a smart fridge.

Smart-home tech is leading to safety concerns, and about 30% of survey respondents have avoided smart locks due to security concerns – and more than two-thirds say they leave at least one smart-home device unplugged due to security concerns.

While it may just be an excuse not to adopt technology, about 60% of Americans surveyed said they consider themselves “very” or “extremely” concerned about the security of their smart-home tech.
