Abstract: This study examines the determinants of customers' intention to use the internet of things (IoT) - smart home technology. The proposed model extends the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 [UTAUT2] by including mobility, trust, security and the espoused national cultural values of collectivism, masculinity, and uncertainty avoidance. Performance expectancy, mobility, price value, and trust in smart home technology and its providers have significant positive impacts on the customers' behavioural intention to use the smart home technology (IoT). The cultural dimensions moderate some of the hypothesised relationships in the proposed model. Security and social influence are strongly associated with trust in smart home technology providers. Effort expectancy and hedonic motivation are positively associated with performance expectancy. Implications for researchers and IoT providers are discussed.
