Hence, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence intention to adopt smart home technology among urban household in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

Correlation analyses with a sample of B40 and T20 urban households (n = 120) from Johor Bahru shown that all three determinant factors were positively correlated with intention to adopt smart home technology. Multiple regression results revealed that attitude toward technical performance has the most effect on adoption intention, followed by economic performance.
