Once completed, the mixed-use Shipyard Communities project will be like a single, expansive smart home for residents and tenants&#8211; a smart community.<\/p>\n<p>Lennar Urban teamed up with Bosch Software Innovations to transform the smart community concept into a reality. Bosch will gather hyper-local data on transportation, surveillance, and other public services and infrastructure. That data will then be organized and shared with Lennar residents through apps. Within parking garages, for example, a Bosch sensor system will alert users of vacant spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Data-based services will be available for private use as well. Parents can ensure that their kids safely make it home from school via a neighborhood GPS-tracking feature that communicates with a mobile app and the home\u2019s security system. Residents will also be able to control home security, appliances, and more through a smart network of apps and devices.<\/p>\n<p>This project is just the tip of the iceberg for Bosch, which hopes to take its Smart Community apps to cities nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Mansuetti, president of Robert Bosch LLC, says, \u201cThe application for The Shipyards community was a collaboration from the beginning between Lennar Urban and Bosch, showcasing how Bosch works with communities to bring smart technologies to life in unique and exciting ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration between Bosch and Lennar could provide a more stable and valuable framework for smart home technology companies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fortune.com\/2016\/04\/06\/nest-meager-response-google-revolv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fortune<\/a> has covered the drama unraveling at Nest and Revolv, Google\u2019s cloud-based smart home devices.\u00a0 Now that smart home technology is finally beginning to catch on, it seems too little too late. Revolv will be retired this May. Nest sales have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.investors.com\/news\/technology\/alphabet-moonshot-company-nest-missed-revenue-outlook-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">missed revenue outlooks<\/a> for the year.<\/p>\n<p>Smart home technology has had a difficult time <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/smart-home-gadgets-still-a-hard-sell-1451970061\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">building momentum<\/a> with mainstream consumers.\u00a0 Accenture LLP reports security as the main hurdle that tech companies must overcome: 47% of survey respondents cite security and privacy as obstacles to adopting smart home technology<em>. <\/em>Of those who purchased smart home devices, 18% stopped using them due to a lack of security guarantees. Users were also frustrated by regularly updating numerous apps that were not integrated.<\/p>\n<p>The Lennar-Bosch combo offers a model worth considering. Smart home technology is sold to builders rather than individual households. One company, rather than several companies, maintains hardware and software. That could be a major incentive. Of those surveyed, 82% of respondents want to control all their smart devices through one integrated security package.<\/p>\n<p>The Lennar Urban community is slated for completion in winter 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When smart home technology integrates with our lives outside of the home, there is potential for greater innovation.
