A Connected Kitchen Sounds Good To Me

I'd like to talk to an expert at what works and what doesn't. Some technologies will catch on while others won't. I don't want to get stuck with a BetaMax in my next kitchen.

More Consumers Want Their Kitchens Connected

The kitchen has been the center of the home ― a place where families not only eat, but where they can gather to talk about their day ― for several generations.

With technology becoming more prominent in homes, “connected kitchens” with their technologically advanced appliances and networking are adding convenience and smart technology to cooking, shopping and other household needs.

It's not that consumers don't want connected devices in their kitchen, however. The Internet Home Alliance, a cross-industry network of leading companies advancing the connected home market, has conducted research that found consumers want six key technologies in their kitchens:


  • A home control station

  • An energy usage monitoring and control system

  • Wireless Internet access

  • A recipe projection system

  • A digital calendar

  • A universal charging station
