AB  - In this study, the authors access the acceptance and perception of usage
of Smart Home Technologies (SHTs) within a sample of a survey respondents
in Portugal. The primary research goal focuses on the factors influencing the
decision to embrace or shy away from these technologies in the Portuguese setting.
Such research involved understanding motivations, challenges, barriers, and the
perceived pros and cons of integrating these tools into daily life.
To achieve this, our methodological approach blends qualitative and quantitative
methods. The qualitative method, supported on a systematic literature review
that serves as a guide to the elaboration of our survey questionnaire, and also
allows the comparison of different geographical SHTs adoption patterns reported
in several studies. Our quantitative analysis is supported by an online survey questionnaire
rooted in the extended Technology Acceptance Model and the analysis of research hypotheses.
The growing interest in SHTs in Portugal is driven by the search for greater
quality of life and efficiency. Findings also highlight the appreciation for the
cost-saving, security, and energy efficiency offered by such technologies (SHTs).
Additionally, these were also noted for their ability to automate tasks, enhance the
quality of life, improve comfort, and provide remote device control, thereby cutting
down time and effort in daily activities. However, despite the apparent benefits of
these technologies, their adoption varies; while many have integrated SHTs into
their routines, a notable segment remains hesitant, namely due to concerns about data control, privacy and trust.
