Abstract - Smart home is a systemized home technology with multiple appliances having a centralized remote controlling feature that is connected to the Internet. In the evolving world, the connection between humanity and technology has strengthened. Innovation has been constantly reshaping our homes and resulted in our living space undergoing a profound transformation. Though its growth has been rapid, and is being extensively studied in developed nations, there exists a gap in emerging markets like India. We have included factors like Perceived Connectedness and perceived Security to enhance the robustness of the model, which was empirically tested based on inputs from 170 respondents. Results reveal that perceived connectedness and perceived security significantly influence adoption apart from other factors.
