TechTalk
Energy Automation: Powering Smart Homes with Clean Energy
Cinegration Development has been working hand in hand with some of the top talent in the energy management industry. CinDev developed the software to provide an energy storage management platform that allows smart homes to dynamically manage stored energy. The software enables smart configurable backup, a weather response system, and smart energy consumption monitoring for Control4 systems using Sonnen batteries.
AJ served as a panelist for CEDIA's brand new TECH TALK series alongside Blake Ricetta with Sonnen, Gordon van Zuiden with CyberManor, Ron Callis with OneFirefly, and Troy Morgan with PanTech Designs.The group presented the ideas behind the future of smart energy, explained the cutting edge technology that will support it, and discussed why it is imperative that dealers adopt smart energy management into their projects.
Sonnen was the busiest booth at CEDIA this year! More conference goers stopped by Sonnen's Smart Energy booth where AJ talked one on one with dealers to explain the software he built for Sonnen batteries. See what CE Pro had to say about 'the most popular newcomer at CEDIA 2018.'
