Smart Living Revolution: Examining IoT Adoption for Homes

The rapid evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) has brought about significant advancements, particularly in connecting various electronic devices. This is especially relevant in Indonesia, a nation known for its tech-savvy population. Despite the increasing interest in Smart Home technology, there's still a lack of understanding regarding how security concerns shape user trust and decisions to adopt this technology. In this study, a quantitative approach was employed, surveying 100 respondents to explore the influence of five key factors: perceived automation, controllability, interconnectedness, reliability, and cost. The findings revealed that perceived automation, interconnectedness, reliability, and cost had a considerable impact on the adoption of Smart Home technology, whereas controllability did not. This suggests that users prioritize convenience, seamless integration of devices, and system reliability over manual control, emphasizing the need to enhance these features in Smart Home systems.
