Smart Home Ready: Why CEDIA Assured is the New Standard for Property Developers

Wednesday 15th October 10:00 - 10:35

Controls & Networks Theatre

As smart home technology becomes a must-have rather than a luxury, property developers face growing pressure to deliver homes that are digitally future-ready to meet the requirements and aspirations of homebuyers and tenants. The CEDIA Smart Home Assurance Programme offers a structured, credible solution to this challenge, providing developers with a clear framework to ensure their properties meet the expectations of today’s tech-savvy consumers.

This session introduces CEDIA Assured - a certification scheme developed by the global trade body for smart home professionals, CEDIA. It outlines how the programme helps developers avoid costly mistakes, reduce operational issues, and enhance the marketability of their homes by embedding a robust, standards-based technology infrastructure from the outset. Attendees will learn how the scheme works, what it covers—from connectivity and access control to energy monitoring and entertainment systems—and how it aligns with growing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and digital inclusion priorities. The CEDIA Smart Home Assurance Programme offers a structured certification system that ensures every home meets a verified level of readiness for modern living.

With research showing that nearly half of homebuyers are more likely to choose a property accredited by CEDIA or a similar body, this talk will demonstrate how embracing the CEDIA Assured standard can deliver commercial advantage, improve occupant satisfaction, and simplify aftercare.

Whether you're building for sale, rent, or later living, find out how CEDIA Assured can be your blueprint for smart home success.
