Are smart homes unreliable? They can be — when they’re designed around fragile apps, Wi-Fi gadgets, and single points of failure. But a properly engineered luxury smart home should never stop functioning because one control system goes offline. At Home Technology Experts, we design resilient home automation systems using best-in-class products that work independently and integrate seamlessly into a single, elegant interface.

CES 2026 revealed a clear shift in smart home technology—from novelty to reliability. For real estate professionals and trade partners, the focus is now on predictable access control, cohesive systems, energy resilience, and automation that quietly improves livability. Home Technology Experts (HTE) helps coordinate and integrate smart home systems that are structured, serviceable, and built for long-term support.
