Many of them are sitting on a lot of inventory and the thought of spending another $5-$10k sends them in shock. I think two things need to happen: 1) housing market needs tpo pick up 2) manufacturers need to do a better job of marketing the benefits of automation to the public so that they feel that they now "need" it.

I like the idea that there are eyes in my home when I am not around, and I really like the idea of sensors on windows. Great for keeping bad folks out and the kiddos in:) There is definitely value in being able to sleep soundly at night.
