Smart Home Show 2007 - Review

["Mark McCall" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just returned from the Smart Home Show (22-25 March 2007) and in
this,
its third incarnation at the NEC in Birmingham, the public was treated to
the best show yet!

In a first for Automated Home, we have videos (

) from the show which should give a
good taste of the event for those that couldn't make it and hopefully show
some items that you may have missed even if you did visit.

The first thing that struck me as I entered Hall 9 were the crowds, and
indeed every exhibitor I spoke to, without exception, confirmed a very
healthy increase in visitors numbers to their stands this year. It's
encouraging to see the interest in home automation grow amongst the general
public. The other thing I noticed within a few minutes was the quality of
the stands themselves. There were over 60 exhibitors this year and they
were
the most professional I have seen yet. Here's a taster of some of our
personal highlights...
