Consumer applications include the application areas which are for simple consumers and include domains such as connected vehicles, home automation, wearable technology, etc., to name a few. Some of the detailed examples include: Smart Home: This basically includes home automation, mood lighting, personalized heating, air conditioning, etc. These measures can benefit in the form of energy-saving, and certain psychological benefits like mood upliftment, etc. Smart home kits like Apple’s HomeKit have certain dedicated applications in iOS devices like iPhone and Apple Watch. There are also dedicated smart home products such as the Amazon Echo, Google Home, Apple’s HomePod, and Samsung’s SmartThings Hub.Elderly/Disabled Person Care: One of the most important and wonderful applications of IoT is to provide assistance to disabled and elderly people. These generally use owner specific information to accommodate the individualistic needs of the person. These may include voice control and cochlear implants for vocally disabled and hearing-impaired people, respectively. These might further be equipped with added security features also, thereby providing users a better quality of life experience.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is burgeoning, and products and services adopting AI have permeated into our society. Smart home assistants (SHAs) such as Amazon’s Echo, Google’s Home, Apple’s HomePod1,2 typically come in the form of voice command devices with integrated virtual assistants, where users interact with the SHAs primarily through a voice-based user interface to accomplish various tasks.1,3,4 SHAs can add value to users’ lives and improve users’ life satisfaction and happiness.5 Especially for those who are less familiar with new technology or who have manual dexterity and/or vision-related issues with typing and/or viewing screen-based interfaces, as well as for a largely less technologically literate population of older users,1 SHAs are considered an important and accessible means of interaction.1,6 In addition, SHAs are important in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic. Due to the isolation policy, users feel a greater sense of loneliness.7 However, SHAs can provide users with interaction and companionship, access to information, and entertainment, which can effectively enrich users’ lives and alleviate users’ loneliness.8
