Digitization of everyday products and individual
compositions of complex systems foster technological
home networks. Thereby, users decide which smart home
systems (SHS) they wish to connect themselves. Despite
this phenomenon’s increasing relevance, previous research
has not yet analyzed how individuals buy and
combine systems for home network integration. Existing
approaches do not consider the additional utility from
connecting systems within home networks. Thus, we
extend network effect theory with a user-centered view
and formalize SHS valuation based on utility effects
created by users’ independent decisions to connect. Our
model presents a comprehensive and outright way of
system valuation and selection, and accounts for current
connectivity benefits in home networks. Based on combinatory
optimization, we derive optimal home network
compositions and underline the influences of network
size and density. These findings on decision behavior are
critical for providers to assess the utility of their products
and to tweak system configurations accordingly.
