The world's biggest tech trade show features everything from televisions that ping when your clothes dryer is done, to mirrors that fire up your coffee machine in the morning.
But the vision on display at CES remains far from reality as the devices are pricey and they do not yet talk to each other with any fluency.
French company Baracoda is at CES, which runs from 5 to 8 January, to show off a prototype connected mirror that can interact with bathroom scales, the toilet or a toothbrush.
\"You can see immediately if you've brushed your teeth properly or if you need to put on sunscreen, for example,\" says the firm's Baptiste Quiniou.
But it can only work to its full capacity with devices developed by Baracoda or its partners.
For start-ups and multinationals, making these products work with other brands is becoming crucial.
\"Sometimes they can do incredibly useful things, but if they're not connected to the wider info system, information dies alone,\" said analyst Avi Greengart.
Battle of ecosystems
<\/strong>
Big players from Amazon<\/a> and Apple<\/a> to Google<\/a> and Samsung<\/a> have built entire ecosystems for their devices, often around a voice assistant like Alexa or Siri.
Greengart said each company thought its ecosystem would draw in enough people and devices to dominate the others.
\"What ended up happening is that nobody grew,\" he said, and the industry \"to an extent stagnated\".
The biggest firms have spent years trying to tackle the \"interoperability\" problem, finally agreeing a protocol last year called \"Matter\" that sets a standard for connected home products.
\"You can think about it as the USB of the smart home,\" said Mark Benson of Smart Things, Samsung's connected home subsidiary.
Just as USB ports allowed all devices to plug into all machines, so the Matter protocol means all connected devices will work with each other, he said, and users will no longer need to download a different app for each device.
But Matter will not kill off Alexa, Siri and their friends just yet.
Jeff Wang of Accenture said making the devices work with each other was the easier part.
\"The hard part is the app model, the data model, the sharing of this, because the human nature of companies is to be very selfish about this,\" he said.
Each brand is now trying to convince the public to adopt its app to centralize control of household appliances.
At CES, Samsung presented a vision of consumers using its Smart Things app to monitor the chicken in the Samsung oven while watching a Samsung TV that would also tell them when their Samsung washing machine was finishing its cycle.
The last 'smart' device
<\/strong>
Mark Benson reckoned more than half of homes in America now have a smart device in them.
\"And more than half of those started their smart home journey just in the last three years,\" he said.
Yet for now, consumers have largely limited their buy-in to the connected home to inexpensive \"smart\" speakers, using them as timers or to listen to music.
A spokesperson for CTA, the industry body that organizes CES, said connected home devices were facing \"a tough year in the US because of the decline in home sales\".
But CTA reckoned the Matter standard would drive the connected home market as the housing sector recovers.
The association said in particular sales of devices that promise to help save energy were likely to go up this year.
It predicted that almost 5 million connected thermostats would be sold in 2023, up 15 percent year-on-year.
In the same field, US company Savant has designed a connected fuse box that will help people monitor energy use.
\"That's maybe one of the last, forgotten, things in the home that can be made smart,\" said Ian Roberts, a group vice president.

世界上最大的技术贸易展平特性从电视,当你的干衣机,镜子,点燃你的早晨咖啡机。
但视觉CES展出仍然远离现实设备是昂贵的,他们还没有与任何流利交谈。
法国公司Baracoda在国际消费电子展上,从5到1月8日,展示一个原型连接镜”,可以“与浴室秤,厕所或牙刷。
“你能看到立即如果你刷你的牙齿正常或如果你需要防晒霜,例如,“公司的巴普蒂斯特Quiniou说。
但是它只能工作满负荷Baracoda开发的设备或其合作伙伴。
对于初创企业和跨国公司,使这些产品与其他品牌正变得至关重要。
“有时他们能做的非常有用的东西,但是如果他们没有连接到更广泛的信息系统,信息孤独死去,”分析师Avi Greengart表示。
的生态系统
大公司从亚马逊和苹果来谷歌和三星建立了整个生态系统的设备,通常围绕着一个声音像Alexa或助理Siri。
Greengart表示,每个公司认为它的生态系统将会吸引足够多的人和设备控制。
“是没有人的成长,最终发生了什么”他说,和行业“在某种程度上停滞不前”。
最大的公司已经花了数年时间试图解决“互操作性”问题,最终在去年达成协议称为“物质”,树立了一个标准连接家居产品。
“你可以想想作为智能家居的USB,”Mark Benson说聪明的事情,三星子公司连接回家。
就像USB接口允许所有设备插入所有的机器,所以此事协议意味着所有连接设备将与对方,他说,用户不再需要下载每个设备的不同应用程序。
但是事情不会杀死Alexa, Siri和他们的朋友。
埃森哲的杰夫•王说互相使设备工作是容易的部分。
“难的是应用程序模型,数据模型,共享,因为公司的人性是自私的,”他说。
每个品牌正试图说服公众采取集中控制家用电器的应用。
在国际消费电子展上,三星提出的愿景消费者使用其智能应用程序监控鸡在三星微波炉虽然看三星的电视,也会告诉他们当他们的三星洗衣机完成循环。
最后一个“智能”设备
马克·本森估计超过一半的家庭在美国现在有一个智能设备。
”,超过一半的学生开始他们的智能家居之旅仅在过去的三年里,”他说。
然而就目前而言,消费者在很大程度上限制他们对连接的认可廉价的“智能”扬声器,使用它们作为定时器或听音乐。
发言人CTA的行业组织,组织国际消费电子展上,表示连接家庭设备面临“在美国艰难的一年,因为房屋销售的下降”。
但CTA认为标准将使连接国内市场随着楼市的复苏。
协会说,特别是设备的销售,承诺帮助节约能源今年可能会上升。
它预测,恒温器将在2023年售出近500万联系,较上年同期增长15%。
在同一领域,我们公司专家设计了一个保险丝盒相连,能帮助人们监控能源使用。
“这是可能的最后一个,被遗忘的地方,在家里可以聪明,”伊恩•罗伯茨说,集团副总裁。
