United Kingdom’s leading smart home brand Hive has come up with a set of subscription-based smart home service plans. Called ‘Hive Welcome Home’, this service combines lighting, thermostat, sensors, and plugs with a mobile app to turn your home into a smart home system. At present this service is available in the UK and US, and will soon be available in Canada and Ireland as well.
Also, as the smart city trend is catching up, there has been a growing demand for smart parking solutions as well.
