This growth will come despite a difficult market for new homes and largely because of industry efforts such as Best Buy's new ConnectedLife.Home package, which will raise awareness among consumers of the possibilities and affordability of intelligent home systems.

Home Systems: Home Controls Update states that by 2010, more than 30 million U.S. households will have a network that bridges numerous products and extends the entertainment experience to multiple rooms in the home. Home controls will benefit greatly from this increasing connectivity, and the market will grow steadily over the next six years, exceeding $4 billion in 2010 and reaching $6 billion by 2012.
