Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology is looking for householders to be interviewed in Vic, Qld, SA and NSW. We would like to visit your home and talk about how your household uses automation at home. We will ask you to show us around, demonstrate any smart technologies and tell us about your experiences.

We will take some photos and use a voice recorder (not video). All data can be anonymised to ensure privacy if you wish. The visit will take up to 2 hours and can involve multiple household members.

Each household will receive a $50 Coles-Myer gift voucher. Up to 40 households will be interviewed.

If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Larissa: larissa.nicholls(AT)rmit.edu.au or (03) 9925 9012.

Hi there,

RMIT University is looking to speak with 3 more households using 'smart home' tech before we close off this dataset for analysis. Preferably located in Victoria or Sydney.

There's more about the study here: https://automatedsmarthome.wordpress.com/

The sort of automation/smart tech that qualifies for the study includes:
- sensor or app-controlled/automated lights
- energy management systems
- automated blinds
- smart thermostats (e.g Nest)
- smart switches
- remote access security systems
- robotic vacuum cleaners
- voice assistant devices (Amazon Alexa, Google Home, etc)
- fully integrated smart homes

If you would be willing to be interviewed about what you have installed, and how you use it - please contact Larissa to discuss: larissa.nicholls(AT)rmit.edu.au or (03) 9925 9012.
