FISHERS, Ind. (August 25, 2026) – CEDIA, the Association for Smart Home Professionals™, has analyzed the findings from its 2026 U.S. Professional Smart Home Market Analysis to be unveiled during the CEDIA Town Hall at CEDIA Expo. Registered attendees will get a first look at this research, which provides a comprehensive snapshot of technology adoption, installation trends, and the factors influencing the residential technology industry.

The CEDIA Town Hall, sponsored by Sony, will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 1 from 5:45 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Mile High Ballroom.

The research will examine:

The biggest challenge facing integrators today

The impact of AI on integration businesses

The market's expectations for revenue in the coming year

The ranking of leading brands and how integrators are deploying them

“The smart home industry continues to evolve, and having reliable market intelligence is essential for manufacturers, integrators, and industry partners alike,” said Ryan Bardach, Director of Research at CEDIA. “This research provides an objective view of where the market stands today, and attendees of the Town Hall will be the first to learn how to use it to improve their business.”

Grant Farnsworth, President of The Farnsworth Group, will deliver an in-depth presentation of the research, covering additional market insights and U.S. housing trends. An open Q&A will also take place following the presentation.
