Nationwide Smart Home Celebration Set for November 3 by CEDIA
In the rapidly evolving world of smart home technology, collaboration between integrators and design & build professionals is becoming increasingly important. This year, on November 3, 2022, CEDIA is hosting Smart Home Day to emphasize the benefits of such collaboration.
The theme for this year's Smart Home Day is the relationship between integrators and design & build professionals, with a focus on enhancing project outcomes, early and intentional integration, improved client value, education and resource sharing, and support for professional collaboration.
CEDIA, the leading organisation for the home technology industry, has partnered with NKBA|KBIS for a research study to examine the integration of smart technology within homes. The research aims to provide insights into the growing demand for smart homes and the role of integrators in delivering seamless, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smart home environments.
In addition to the 2022 event, CEDIA has also announced plans for Smart Home Day 2025. The 2025 edition will focus on the value of professional integrators in the residential design process, offering opportunities for both integrators and the design & build community.
The benefits of collaboration between smart home integrators and design & build professionals, as highlighted during Smart Home Day 2025, include enhanced project outcomes, early and intentional integration, improved client value, education and resource sharing, and support for professional collaboration. By working together, these professionals can create smart home environments that are seamless, functional, and aesthetically pleasing, delivering superior comfort, security, and energy savings.
CEDIA is committed to fostering collaboration between integrators and design & build professionals. They offer a wealth of resources at cedia.org/designbuild, including tips on how to engage with architects, designers, and builders to create long-term partnerships.
Moreover, CEDIA is also providing opportunities for integrators to support cross-collaboration during Smart Home Day 2025. This includes offering resources to open showrooms or host in-person events with design & build professionals, webinars and video demos on smart home technologies, and workshops and demo sessions in local communities.
In addition, the 2025 edition of Smart Home Day will raise awareness to related trades about the value of using a professional integrator. A consumer-friendly website, smarthomeday.com, provides information and a free, customizable toolkit for promotional use ahead of Smart Home Day 2025.
CEDIA also advocates for policies impacting the professional smart home industry during events like CEDIA on the Hill Day. This year, they will host a dedicated session at the CEDIA Expo to explain the benefits of participating in Smart Home Day and how to leverage available resources.
In summary, Smart Home Day 2022 and 2025 are significant events for the smart home industry, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between smart home integrators and design & build professionals. By working together, these professionals can create high-quality, efficient, and future-ready smart home projects that blend technology and design, all achieved by strategic and early collaboration.
The integration of smart home technology and home-and-garden design is a key focus of CEDIA's Smart Home Day events, with the theme for 2022 highlighting the benefits of collaborative efforts between integrators and design & build professionals to enhance project outcomes and deliver superior smart home experiences. As the industry moves forward, the 2025 edition of Smart Home Day will further underline the value of professional collaboration, offering opportunities for both integrators and the design & build community to create smart home environments that seamlessly blend technology, design, and lifestyle.
