Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming the CEO of @cediahq ⁠ , the global trade association for system integrators & AV professionals, to ELUXO — a truly inspiring moment for our team.⁠ ⁠ Beyond a brief introduction to our way of working, the focus was on an open and constructive conversation about the future of our industry. We discussed how CEDIA can further strengthen its connection with the European market, how CEDIA members can position themselves more strongly, and the role education and certification play in that journey.⁠ ⁠ CEDIA members stand out through their in-depth expertise and commitment to quality — a level that goes beyond traditional installations and is essential in a world where technology and integration are becoming increasingly complex.⁠ ⁠ A sincere thank you to the CEDIA team for the inspiring visit.⁠ ⁠ #Domotica #SmartHome #SlimWonen #ELUXO #KNX #Basalte #crestronhome #loxone #homeautomation

"A.I. Comes Home" was a fully integrated experience brought to life thanks to the incredible collaboration of @lutronelectronics @joshdotai @sonos @icrealtime @ketralighting and @bethesdasystems Together, we showcased things like how Al and smart home technology can work in sync by interpreting activity at the door and instantly adapting the environment to communicate safety inside the home. Or how your system can do the heavy lifting when it comes to energy cost-savings and create scenes for every mood. (Even when that mood is disco at the Capitol🕺) From lighting and shading to audio and control, every piece played a role, and every detail was made possible through expert integration. This is what happens when innovation and collaboration collide. Thank you to all of our partners who helped us bring AI and integration to the Capitol!👏

The “Beside the Seaside” home cinema, delivered by @cinema_works transformed an unusual extension of a Victorian home on England’s south coast into a fully engineered private theater. The project balances traditional cinema styling with modern performance, featuring a 16-channel surround system, a Sony laser projector, and carefully engineered speaker placement to deliver immersive sound across two seating rows. Working closely with the homeowners and builder, Cinemaworks also designed the room’s lighting and interior aesthetic, collaborating with @fraserbesantlighting of Bristol to create layered lighting scenes that enhance the cinematic atmosphere. The result? A high-performance theater that feels both timeless and personal, earning Best Home Cinema Level I at the 2025 EMEA CEDIA Smart Home Awards. Projects like this show what’s possible when thoughtful engineering, design collaboration, and a passionate integrator come together. Think your team has designed the next award-winning cinema room? Integrator submissions for the 2026 CEDIA Smart Home Awards are open now. hashtag#CEDIAAwards

To our global board and industry leaders who came to DC for the 2026 CEDIA Day on Capitol Hill, thank you for showing up, speaking up, and representing this industry so powerfully.   We started our time in DC with an insightful dinner where @replindasanchez gave a Congressional briefing. Yesterday, we showcased our newest demo: “A.I. Comes Home” to various representatives and their staff including Rep. Mark Messmer, @repyvetteclarke and @repjudychu . This was a collaborative effort brought together with help from @lutronelectronics @joshdotai @sonos @ketralighting @icrealtime and @bethesdasystems . We were able to bring just a sample of the magic an integrated home can create, so a huge thank you to all of our partners for helping make this come to life and to @alexcaps and @trutechtalk for leading the demonstration. We also got to dive into the issues that will impact the future of our industry. First, we met with leaders at the Department of Labor to advance efforts for an official occupational classification for “Technology Integrator” and discussed a national apprenticeship pathway for our workforce. Then we sat down with representatives to get support on bills that will help encourage young talent to enter skilled trades and provide funding to retrain veterans to work in our industry.   These are the moments that will make the difference for the future, and the support of this community makes it all possible. #CEDIAOnTheHill #Advocacy
