Use it to identify practical changes that would make the device easier to understand and use. A device can work reliably while leaving people unsure how to change its settings or understand its data collection. Ask about those experiences separately rather than combining them in one satisfaction rating. ## When to use this smart home survey Product research and support teams can use this questionnaire with adults who used a named connected household device in the past 30 days. It reviews the user experience. It is not a security audit or a check of the device's actual data flows. Customize the questions in SurveyLegend. **Create your smart home survey in SurveyLegend** A device can work reliably while leaving people unsure how to change its settings or understand its data collection.

Your answers stay in your browser and are never sent or saved. **—**Starts **—**Submissions Activity is temporarily unavailable. ## Customize the questions for your setting Ask about one device and compare products with similar purposes if comparison is necessary. Retain did-not-try and not-sure answers; they mean something different from a neutral rating. Keep the open use-case question focused on function rather than schedules or access details. Avoid adding [sensitive questions ](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-questions/sensitive-survey-questions/)that reveal household routines or access details. ## Use a printable smart home survey Offer the blank questionnaire after a supervised device-use session for people who prefer paper or cannot answer online. Explain where completed forms should be returned and who will review them. Handwritten replies need separate manual handling; they are not automatically added to online results. ![First page of the printable Smart Home Survey Template with questions and answer spaces](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-template-media/pdf-previews/smart-home-template-pdf-preview.avif) [![](https://www.surveylegend.com/user-guide-media/icons/download-pdf.svg) Download Smart Home Survey Template (PDF)](https://www.surveylegend.com/downloads/survey-templates/smart-home-survey-template.pdf) Export Use a printable smart home survey as PDF ## Create your smart home survey with AI Copy this prompt into an AI assistant to draft the questions.

Read requests for explanations alongside the privacy-information answers. These responses describe what users understand and experience; they do not establish what a device actually collects or whether a technical security control works. Group [open-ended data ](https://www.surveylegend.com/how-to-analyze-survey-results/open-ended-data/)into practical controls, reliability issues and requests for clearer explanations. In the abstract, Zheng and colleagues (2018) write: “users trust IoT device manufacturers to protect their privacy but do not verify that these protections are in place”. This observation came from the study's small interview sample. Their research informs the distinction between device use, information and perceived control here. A small qualitative study does not establish population-wide rates, and this questionnaire is not a security assessment. Read the [smart home research ](https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08182). ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this a security audit? No. User perceptions cannot verify technical safeguards or data collection. Those require a separate assessment. ### Should respondents provide Wi-Fi details? No. This feedback questionnaire does not need network names, passwords or access codes. ### Can people who do not own a device answer? This version concerns recent use. A nonuser adoption survey needs different questions about interest and barriers. Technology & Digital Experience Survey Templates 1.
