These are the new products that frequently make news headlines and that our customer ask us about. It will give the custom integrator one location to see all the intelligent connected-home products from all the digital platforms shown in the connected home ecosystem diagram on this page.Īs the internet of things picks up momentum in the home, this pavilion will make it easy to see and compare one company’s offerings against another’s in the same category. CEDIA’s new pavilion will be an opportunity for all manufacturers (including total home control companies), from home AV systems to door locks to sprinkler systems to hot tub controls, to showcase their app-based interface for control of their products.

This white paper is posted on Residential Systems’ website and can be found at Also, it will serve as informational background for the iOS and Android App Pavilion that CEDIA will host for the first time this year at EXPO.ĬEDIA’s new iOS and Android App Pavilion will give the custom integrator one location to see all the intelligent connected-home products from all the digital platforms shown in this connected home ecosystem diagram. To better understand why this is happening in our channel, I have written a white paper, called, “Digital Platform Strategies for the Connected Home,” that focuses on best-of-breed intelligent audio/ video and home control solutions for the custom integrated home. It is also the topic of a course that I teach at CEDIA EXPO, titled: “Total Home Control – A Multi App Approach.” While there are pros and cons to both solutions, the pendulum is swinging toward the multi-application approach in the high-end single-family residential market. It’s a question that I have asked my own client base, manufacturers with whom we work, and my peers in the industry over the last few years. If we are unable to increase market awareness of the benefits of our unified solution, our revenue may not continue to grow, or it may decline. It is a serious enough question that Control4 placed the following comments in its corporate filing statement with the SEC on July 1, 2013, before the company went public:Ĭonsumers may choose to adopt point products that provide control of discrete home functions rather than adopting our unified home automation solution. With more than two billion iOS and Android devices and a million-plus apps deployed worldwide, it would be logical to ask how a multi-application control system running on an iPad or Android platform can measure up as a home control solution versus a single app total home control hardware/software solution for clients of custom residential integrators.
