1Home Digest: January '24 - Week 3
Here's a quick breakdown of everything we've been following in smart homes over the past week:
When in Dubai…
Tim and Rok had an awesome time on their trip to Dubai this month!
They visited the Light+Intelligent Building Middle East and Intersec Expo, packed with smart home novelties and innovations. This was also a great chance to connect with dozens of new customers.
The trip was also a great opportunity to strengthen connections with existing partners in Dubai and assist them with their 1Home integrations.
One of the trip’s highlights was a demo for a luxury project of 50 villas, powered by 1Home products. Thanks, Sophisticave Smart Home Solutions, for showing us around!
We are already looking forward to visiting again - watch out Dubai 😀
