What is a Smart Home?
Today, a true smart home is professionally designed and installed, easy and seamless to use, and reliable and secure. Simply put, it’s far more than a collection of gadgets and DIY solutions. It’s an ecosystem of connected devices that work together to provide unique solutions for each member of a household. Some key components of a smart home include smart thermostats, lights, security cameras, door locks, and speakers. Smart homes work by using wireless connectivity and automation software to integrate these devices, allowing homeowners to adjust settings and monitor their home from anywhere.
 

Beautiful and Brilliantly Connected
Interior designers are experts at creating spaces that are functional, stylish, and personal. CEDIA professionals complement that vision by ensuring that the technology within those spaces works flawlessly and blends invisibly with the design. Early collaboration is key; CEDIA integrators can work alongside designers from the start of a project to ensure seamless integration of systems, reducing the need for unexpected changes later. After all, no one—designer or integrator—wants to see unsightly wires or patch jobs on a finished wall.
