The IoT in the Home Demonstrator project is one of the research activities under PETRAS Cybersecurity of the Internet of Things Research Hub. This demonstrator project is a pilot research, pioneering ways to include people in the dynamic design processes and policymaking of complex technologies. 17 members of the public were invited to spend time in a home located at BRE’s Innovation Park on the 19thand 20thJanuary 2019. The home was fitted out with the types of internet-connected ‘smart’ devices that are available in the market now and prototypes developed by PETRAS university partners that include possible future functionalities.
A key finding of these publicly attended events was that attendees found in favour of a manual (non-smart) ‘opt-in’ option when using ‘smart and connected’ domestic devices. Further details and findings are for you to discover in the video.
