The Home of the Year Awards always bring out of the best of the best within the CEDIA channel. And with this gathering of some of the industry’s top integration firms comes a stiff set of competitors. But now the projects have been viewed. The votes have been tallied. We have the winners of the 2023 CE Pro Home of the Year Awards, so, for those of you who may have been unable to attend the ceremony at CEDIA Expo 2023, let’s celebrate all the same.
CE Pro’s Home of the Year Awards are the most prestigious award program for the professional installation market. The awards recognize the best technologies, products, and services for the smart home and cover numerous categories—such as the Best Budget/Compromises Project, the Best Home Theater Over $100K, Best Lighting Control, and Best Shading Solutions.
In all, the 2023 Home of the Year Awards looked at projects in 16 categories, with winners being judged by an esteemed panel of representatives throughout the smart home industry on the basis of the ability to overcome challenges, uniqueness, scope, and design. The winners were chosen from a list of 46 entries and announced at a ceremony in Denver, Colorado during CEDIA Expo 2023.
Without further ado, let’s get to the winning projects and categories.
