Tell me about a product you love, but you can't get any of your friends to adopt.

My favorite product is Google Home.

Google Home allows me to programmatically control various home activities such as managing temperate, lights, home security, music etc.

The product integrates closely with Google assistant and Google products such as youtube

 I am in the user group of millenials. This user group has the following pain points with adoption of home automation systems

1) I dont know understand how the system operates

2) It cannot be as specific to my needs as human operation

3) Set up and maintenance is tough

4) Its expensive w.r.t to its perceived value

5) Concern about Google stealing my data to sell me products

6) It might result in unexpected behaviour

What is the solution:

1) Simple and Intuitive UI- That simplifies set up of the process and also demonstrates working of the process in a simple workflow e.g. the way Toyota Prius show how the car is generating power to move forward

2) Allow for significant human intervention rather than making human intervention difficult. This will give confidence to the user that he/she is in full control of the process

3) Show alerts w.r.t savings in terms if power, water every month. This will show that system is paying for itself in terms of its perceived value

4) Transparency from Google on points of data collection and getting consent to use the data (like apple)
