This was another big year for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. CES had more than 150,000 attendees with a record 1.9 million square feet of exhibit space from more than 3,250 companies. Having attended several CES shows, I can say that much of what was on display this year had a familiar feel. It was hard to walk too far on the show floor without bumping into staggeringly large televisions, the latest and greatest in smartphones or the thinnest tablets. That said, 2013 might well go down as the year the connected home made its mark in consumer electronics.
Alarm.com was fortunate to be a part of CES Unveiled, where new cutting-edge technology is showcased, and it was a great experience. Among some of the more innovative — and unexpected — technology products such as a smart fork that vibrates when you eat too much and video cameras embedded into ski goggles were a growing number of monitoring, alerting and energy management products. It was this consistent thread of the connected home throughout the show that really stood out as significant shift from last year.
