CEDIA has announced the winners of the 2025 Smart Home Awards Americas during CEDIA Expo in Denver. The program, presented under the theme “The Enchanting World of Smart Living,” recognized achievements in design, innovation, business excellence, and individual contributions across the custom integration industry.
CEDIA Global President and CEO Daryl Friedman praised the winners as reflective of the passion and dedication that define the smart home community.
“Witnessing our members push the boundaries of what’s possible reaffirms CEDIA’s mission to inspire and connect the very best in the smart home industry,” Friedman said
The ceremony featured Katye McGregor Bennett of headline sponsor KMB Communications, along with sponsors including Apex Technologies, Daisy, D-Tools, Kaleidescape, Leon, Lutron, Quantum Media Systems, Ring, Somfy Systems, Sonos, Torus Power, Wall-Smart, and Zenty Powered by J-Tech Digital.
Unsurprisingly, there is quite a bit of crossover between the CEDIA Awards and this year’s CE Pro Home of the Year Awards and BEST Product Awards this year.
