Abstract
This report focuses on the concept of „smart home“, which seeks, through the power of technology, to help both build sustainable communities and more specifically homes, and improve the consumption life of the end consumer. One of the components of home automation that can have an application in any of its subsystems is the voice assistant. The voice assistant’s place in home automation is its direct connection to the end consumer. This high level of interaction with the consumer requires systematic surveys of the consumer’s opinion about his satisfaction with the use of the voice assistant. Generation Z are digital by nature and have been accustomed to living with technology from their earliest days. In this regard, the purpose of the research is to investigate the consumer attitudes of representatives of Generation Z towards voice assistants. The research method that was used is an online survey of representatives of generation Z. The results of a pilot study are presented.
Key words: smart home, voice assistant, sustainable development, consumer behavior
