Aham, the American Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, supports the smart home with a communication initiative. It has realized the white paper “Home Appliance Connectivity: Limitless Potential” that highlights the potential of the connected appliances (such as remote operation, automated ordering, alerts and remote repairs etc.) and provides answers to several questions about connected home appliances, including: the difference between smart, smart-grid enabled and connected home appliances; how connected appliances will allow consumers to save more time; how smart appliances can reduce energy costs; the steps being taken to preserve high safety standards in connected appliances; and concrete steps users of connected appliances can take to protect their personal data. The innovation brought by the smart home in the household appliances manufacturing will be also explored during the Aham’s annual meeting scheduled for April 22nd-23rd.
