The custom integration industry is constantly evolving, and each year brings new technological
innovations. As we dive into 2025, here are five key home technology trends that are shaping the
future of the industry:
1. Big-Screen TVs
Large TVs are no longer just a luxury; they’re becoming the norm. Following the COVID
lockdowns, more consumers are opting for bigger screens, with sizes of 70 inches and above
becoming increasingly common. Advances in upscale processing ensure that even lower-
resolution content looks stunning on these larger screens, pushing the demand for big screens in
home theaters.
2. Voice Control
Voice control continues to evolve, with new AI-powered voice assistants making it easier than
ever to control smart home devices. The integration of generative AI allows users to create
custom scenes and automations with simple voice commands—no programming knowledge
needed. This trend is enhancing the user experience by offering convenience and seamless
control over various devices.
3. Home Batteries
Once a niche product, home batteries are now gaining traction as energy costs rise and grid
reliability falters. Homeowners are increasingly turning to batteries, not just for energy savings,
but also as a more reliable backup power source compared to traditional generators. The shift
toward home batteries is part of a broader movement towards energy independence and
resilience.
4. Supplier Design Services
More integrators are turning to suppliers for design services, which help offload project tasks and
simplify the integration process. Lighting, networking, and audio companies are offering design
services that ensure optimal performance, allowing integrators to focus on other aspects of the
project while benefiting from expert advice and resources.
5. AI Security
AI is revolutionizing home security with advanced surveillance systems that use computer vision
and analytics to detect humans, packages, vehicles, and even license plates. These systems offer
homeowners enhanced security and the ability to integrate with other smart home solutions for a
more personalized, automated experience.

As we move through 2025, these trends highlight the growing demand for smarter, more efficient
home technology solutions. From bigger screens to more intelligent security systems, the future
of custom integration is bright and full of exciting innovations.
