“Between SmartStart and our Certified Installer Toolkit, Z-Wave products are incredibly easy to install, support and update making them very attractive to the integrator community,” commented Mitchell Klein, Alliance executive director and CEDIA 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, “The debate between DIY and pro installation in the smart home is over – while consumers are putting these systems in themselves, there are an equal number who want the support of a tech professional. We look forward to talking to integrators about how their businesses can benefit from the huge demand that is coming.”
To that end, the Z-Wave Alliance will also conduct CEDIA education and speaking sessions for industry pros to learn more about Z-Wave, smart home trends and opportunities, hear about Z-Wave installations, and more.
