▶ Read more for insights from the #CONNECTIONS24 event: Smart Home Future Outlook 2025 from GrandCare Systems®, Schneider Electric, Thread Group, and OliverIQ! Scott Feldstein, Director of US Sales, GrandCare Systems® ⭐ Most people don’t want someone to tell you what to do all day, they want to have some things automated for them. ⭐ Naturally, people want to speak back to Grand Care, but the challenges are deciphering speech patterns in disabled customers. I would like to see AI enhance our text to speech features. Michael Lotfy Gierges, EVP of the Global Home & Distribution, Schneider Electric ⭐ We know what we need to do to break the stigma on electrifying homes, but we need to work together to integrate the ecosystem to scale. ⭐ Home is your sanctuary, we want to keep everything private and secure. Sujata Neidig, Vice President of Marketing, Thread Group ⭐ Taking a step back, companies have a common goal to drive growth in the industry. How do we enable and make this something accessible and usable by home? ⭐ The industry is growing, this is when standards come in. Companies are looking at how they make this transition to a more open ecosystem and environment. Will West, CEO & Founder, OliverIQ ⭐ You have consumers with an appetite, channels who have a relationship with consumers that are being commoditized. ⭐ Standards don’t solve the complete problem. There’s a profitability mode that will never completely dissolve.
