CEDIA Expo 2026 to showcase smart home and integration innovations

The CEDIA Expo 2026 is set to showcase a wide array of innovations in the residential and custom systems integration industry. The event, recognized as North America’s largest trade show for this sector, will feature hundreds of new product debuts spanning audio, video, lighting, security, and smart home technologies.

Key upcoming innovations include 8K gaming projectors, AI-powered robots and smart control systems, gunshot detection systems, and advanced home cinema solutions. The show aims to provide integrators with hands-on experience to evaluate solutions such as new chipsets, AVoIP platforms, and professional-grade WiFi.

Industry participants, including Alfred International, are highlighting a shift toward more open, connected ecosystems. There is growing momentum around interoperability standards like Matter and Aliro, which allow different brands to work together seamlessly. Alfred International plans to demonstrate this trend by introducing new plug-in Wi-Fi modules designed to simplify connected access across their smart lock portfolio.
