These Are America’s Smart Home Savvy Cities

According to Yonomi, these cities generated the most buzz on their app, which integrates multiple smart home products on one platform.

As smart home devices gain speed across America, our friends at Yonomi are using data to determine which cities have the highest volume of smart home activity.

Yonomi is a free app which connects your smart home devices, allowing your thermostats, entertainment systems, lighting (and more!) to work in unison. The best part? Yonomi connects devices from different brands, so many of your gadgets from the Smart Home Staging Kit can work in tandem through the platform.

Yonomi gathered its own usage data to pinpoint smart home activity hubs across America. By looking at the number of ‘routines’, or actions that control multiple smart products, they determined that there are high concentrations of smart home ‘power users’ in the following U.S. cities.
