1. A method for recommending intelligent home system products to a user of an intelligent home system comprising:
- recording, with the intelligent home system using one or more processors, a first set of usage data about the utilization of the intelligent home system installed in a first building, wherein the first set of usage data is associated with the user;
receiving, with one or more processors, a second set of usage data about a plurality of intelligent home systems installed in a plurality of buildings, wherein each intelligent home system includes a plurality of installed devices, and wherein the sets of usage data include building-specific usage data about each of the plurality of installed devices installed in a particular building and is stored on a computer-readable medium;
analyzing, with one or more processors, the first and second sets of usage data to identify one or more intelligent home system devices to recommend to the user, wherein analyzing the first and second sets of usage data includes one or more of;
(1) using the second set of usage data to assemble a similar devices list to identify one or more intelligent home system devices that are often used in conjunction, andcomparing the similar devices list to the first set of usage data to identify one or more devices that are not already installed in the first building that are often used in conjunction with devices installed in the first building, or(2) using the second set of usage data to assemble a similar customers list, wherein the similar customers list includes one or more of customers with similar usage histories or customers with similar demographics; and
comparing the usage data of the customers included in the similar customer list to the first set of usage data to identify one or more devices that are used by customers included in the similar customer list that are not already installed in the first building; and
presenting to the user, with one or more processors, the one or more identified intelligent home system devices.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer-readable medium that facilitate the reception of usage data about the utilization of an intelligent home system and recommend intelligent home system products based on the usage data. The method, system, and computer-readable medium facilitate the analysis of the usage data to determine whether to recommend intelligent home system products and which, if any, intelligent home system products to recommend. Recommendations may be generated by comparing the usage data to an updated products list or an upgraded products list. Recommendations may be generated by comparing the usage data to a similar products list. The similar products list may be generated by analyzing previously received usage data to determine which products are often used together. Recommendations may be generated by comparing the usage data to a similar customers list. The similar customers list may be generated by analyzing previously received usage data to determine which products are used by other, similar users. Recommendations may be presented to a user if the intelligent home system.
