comScore Drills Down Into Connected Devices

comScore said it has launched a new product called Connected Home that measures consumer usage of devices linked to the internet and home networks, including computers, mobile phones, tablets, streaming sticks, smart TVs, thermostats and other appliances.

It's comScore’s first syndicated product based on its Total Home Panel, which measures device usage within the home. The Total Home Panel will also be a part of comScore cross-platform TV measurement products.

Subscribers to comScore Connected Home will get data on device penetration, usage frequency, engagement time, household demographics, manufacturer and brand market share and cross device activity patterns.
