Is this the year integrators get more serious about becoming ‘energy automation contractors’ and not just low-voltage A/V integrators? sonnen thinks so.
“This year at CEDIA Expo we are taking our offering to a whole new level by diversifying with home automation brands that dealers know and trust,” says Jessica Weiss, national business development manager for energy automation and artificial intelligence at sonnen. “This gives integrators an even more flexible and robust solution to meet customers’ needs.”
The Germany-based manufacturer of sophisticated residential energy storage systems is ready at CEDIA Expo 2019 to showcase the higher-safety lithium-ion phosphate battery technology used by its sonnenBatterie ecoLinx.
The technology is the big differentiator in the market for sonnen, which aims to guide integrators into the energy channel. Most other battery storage companies, including Tesla, use cobalt-based batteries.
“As an integrator, if you are looking for a new and innovative home automation offering that will grow and differentiate your business, then you are definitely going to want to stop by sonnen booth #3547 to see our energy automation with ecoLinx solution in action,” says Weiss.

Meet the Next Generation of Home Automation Remotes
Remote controls continue to evolve at a rapid pace.
