“We’re extremely excited to be offering a line of products available exclusively to dealers and installers,” commented Steve Lee, Business Development Manager for SMART. “The line was really well received at CEDIA, so I expect our product offering and distribution network to expand rapidly.” Lee added, “We have a full schedule of product trainings taking place across the country, and hope those trainings bring our first wave of dealers and installers.”

The initial launch features 13 home control products to control and automate lighting, appliances and temperature. All of the SMART products are compatible with other INSTEON products including Smarthome’s retail INSTEON line of products, ISY and other INSTEON-compatible products.
