A dataset of smart home devices sold on Spanish e-commerce platforms

The use of smart home devices is on the rise with estimations of the number of users reaching over 785 million from the current ∼ 361 million users; a 117% increase in just 4 years. Thus, it becomes essential to have an available dataset that provides details about the different aspects of the available devices in the market. In this paper, we introduce our dataset titled <b>Spanish MArket Smart Home devices (SMASH)</b> which we collected via structured data extraction from four major Spanish e-commerce platforms. Containing 5218 devices across 652 brands, the dataset provides an overview of smart home devices sold within Spain, the fourth largest economy in the European Union. The dataset is versatile as it includes details such as name, price, brand, model, rating, number of reviews, platform and category. The dataset can be used as primary source in research that involves consumer behaviour and microeconomics. Additionally, the details could be used for creating new datasets like privacy policies of brands and mobile applications (apps) used for the devices. The dataset is publicly accessible under license CC-BY-NC-4.0-ES. We note, however, that SMASH is limited to products sold within Spain and collected within a specific time window (start date: 2023-12; end date: 2024-08); users should consider the scope and temporal constraints when generalizing findings.
