21% of people who experienced such difficulties chose to try to solve them themselves, while 91% tried at least one personal solution before calling professionals. “The growing technical difficulties with Smart Home devices are felt particularly by those who use them the most, explains Jennifer Kent of Parks Associates. Our data shows that households with a head of household between the ages of 35 and 44 are those most likely to be affected by these problems. And it is also this age range that is above average in the adoption of such devices.”
