Methodological innovations and challenges of research on digitally connected homes: an introduction

ABSTRACT Digital automated and connected technologies are playing a central role shaping how home life is experienced and understood. This emerging digital ecology is also reconstituting the home as a site of research and the methods required to study it. This article introduces a collection of contributions that highlight methodological issues and avenues for researching life in technology-saturated home environments.
