Home tech has come a long way, and with it, our home shows have continued to evolve to showcase these amazing new technologies. Smart home tech has become popular for several reasons: it’s convenient, it can help reduce energy savings, it can improve safety, it creates a seamless connection, and it’s capable of performing a wide range of functions.
If you’re not a technology wizard, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. A smart home is a residence that uses internet-connected devices to enable the remote monitoring and management of appliances and systems such as lighting, heating, security, and more. All of these devices can be controlled through a smartphone app, allowing homeowners to automate and control various aspects of their homes from wherever they are – on the couch, in the car in the driveway, in the bathtub, wherever! If you’re interested in learning more about how to make your home “smarter,” our various exhibitors can help you.
