So what is the "connected home" and why should I care?  For many of us, our first exposure to the connected home was through a smart meter roll-out by our electric utility company.   Did you know that the smart meter is only one small part of the connected home story?  GE, Samsung, and LG are providing us with smart, connected appliances; ADT is integrating their security solutions (cameras and sensors) with the connected home; your audio, video, and TV are joining in on the fun. Add your thermostat, your electric vehicle, and even your blinds and ceiling fans and you begin to get an idea of what makes up the connected home.  Now imagine controlling all of these connected products from your mobile device or laptop, from anywhere in the world.  Join us for this fascinating discussion on the opportunities and challenges of building out, connecting to, using, and servicing the technologies behind the connected home.
