2013 – ENTER THE UNEQUALED CES 2013
The year 2013 was the very first time that tangible home automation products dominated the CES conferences. During the conference, WeMo by Belkin was launched with several Wi-Fi devices. A notable product from Belkin was the innovative Home Control Switch, which was essentially an intelligent plug placed between the socket and an electronic plug that allows users to control their electrical devices using a smart house. Flash forward to 2015 and Tom Coates creates a revolutionary Twitter-enabled home. Tom’s house posts some regular tweets about the temperature, weather, and lighting.
