CE Pro has already posted earlier editions of Julie Jacobson's Ultimate Guide to Home Automation at CES 2016 … a few times. But now we're fielding this question all the time: “Am I in the guide?”
So we're now offering the guide again, this time with the full text of the 100-plus page presentation in one giant scroll so you can find yourself fast in a simple search.
If you're in the document, you'll see the corresponding page number for your mention. Click on the number to see a static image of the page. For best results, however, jump to the page in the embedded presentation for a more interactive, clickable format.
The new cover page of the presentation is a lie. You don't have to download the pdf guide to use the embedded links. You can click from the embedded presentation.
