Sponsored and Hosted by Whirlpool Corporation
Consumers who are building a new home or upgrading a suite of appliances have a choice – will they want as much connection and automation as possible, or simply pick out one or two technologically advanced features in their new appliances?
On Wednesday, April 11, Whirlpool Corporation will host a KBTribeChat discussion on an important topic for any home designer or architect — The Connected Home. We will touch on topics about where connectivity is most prevalent in the home today, where it’s expected to expand and how it’s influencing home design.
Whirlpool Corporation is an ideal choice to lead this discussion, as it has been a leader in appliance connectivity, with innovative products and collaborations with tech leaders such as Amazon and Nest. The company is focused on developing purposeful technology that adjusts to common behaviors, activating shortcuts and solutions so people can get back to the things that matter most.
By bringing intuitive technology and functionality to the appliance category, Whirlpool Corporation is helping take the friction out of household chores, making it easier to answer age-old questions like, “What’s for dinner?”
The Whirlpool Corporation brand portfolio offers a host of connected appliances, such as the highly anticipated Whirlpool® Kitchen Suite featuring select smart appliances, that allows users to access and control the appliances remotely, integrate with other devices, upgrade automatically, and even replenish supplies.* The acquisition of Yummly, a leading platform for personalized recipe recommendations and cooking resources, further strengthens the company’s ability to bring purposeful, consumer-relevant innovations to market in the emerging IoT space. As the market for connected homes continues to expand, Whirlpool Corporation can help industry professionals create a space that integrates with consumers’ evolving lifestyles.
To prepare for the discussion, here are our chat questions:
• What do customers want in connected home technology?
• What are the benefits of connected home technology?
• How has connected technology influenced home design?
• Where in the home is connected technology advancing the most?
• What are some of the home automation features that homeowners want most?
