FISHERS, Ind. (24 July 2025) – CEDIA, the Association for Smart Home Professionals™, has announced it will champion Smart Home Day on 3 November to raise awareness globally of the professional smart home industry. This year’s theme will focus on the important relationship between integrators and design & build professionals, showcasing the mutual benefits of both industries and their clients.
Smart Home Day 2025 will offer a variety of opportunities for the design & build community as well as ways integrators can support cross-collaboration:
For Design & Build Professionals
For Integrators
“Smart home integrators are indispensable collaborators in the residential design process but are often brought in late to a project or treated as an afterthought,” said Daryl Friedman, global president and CEO of CEDIA. “The 2025 edition of Smart Home Day will raise awareness to related trades about the value to their clients of using a professional integrator to create technology experiences that seamlessly complement a home’s aesthetics and functionality.”
Smart Home Day is just one of CEDIA’s efforts to expand awareness of the custom integration trade. The association has also launched a consumer outreach campaign to educate homeowners on the value of professional integration, advocated for policies impacting the professional smart home industry during CEDIA on the Hill Day, and partnered with NKBA|KBIS for a research study to examine the integration of smart technology within homes.
