What You Will Learn
Keith Harrison, founder, and CEO of Total Home Technologies has been in the industry over 30 years but has a background in Aerospace Engineering. Throughout that time, he has observed some trends and unfortunately, a lot of misunderstandings about home technology and would like to address and debunk some of these issues.
Through his work, Keith has had the opportunity to work with highly talented individuals: Designers, Architects, Lighting Specialists and Contractors. However, today, these home technology misunderstandings still occur; and could simply be attributed to these attitudes:
“What used to work should still work today.”
“I’ve never had a problem in the past.”
“How come I’ve never heard of this?”
“Why can’t we just make it simple?”
During this session, you will:
- Identify Smart Home technologies that are available today.
- Apply Smart Home technologies to outdoor living spaces.
- Discover lighting trends in the Smart Home technology industry and how to incorporate them into a home’s design or to upgrade a space.
