General, freely programmable buttons and switches (see Control & Connectivity) or light bulbs for different lighting scenarios (see Comfort & Lighting) are not included. Smart TVs are also not considered here because their functions are, in most cases, not directly controlled via the Internet but networking is primarily used for the retrieval of media content.

Products in the Home Entertainment segment are multi-room music devices, remote controls dedicated to entertainment use cases and streaming devices. By definition we exclude smart TVs, since only a small share of their revenue is related to their ability to connect to the internet. The competitors for multi-room music devices in the market are both traditional companies with a focus on audio devices such as Bose, Sony or Panasonic, as well as young companies such as Sonos or Klipsch. The smart speaker trend already took a considerable share of the Entertainment segment. Companies have to adopt and integrate smart assistants. Also streaming devices could see potential losses in the future when more and more smart TVs will integrate similar features.
