What are the trends of the future, how will the trade deal with the Smart Home requirement in the future? If plug & play really is possible, users will in future only need a corresponding hub that supports the common wi-fi protocol. Does Smart Home simply mean plugging in a device and the system automatically recognises that a new device is in the home wireless network? How are the ever-popular voice assistants developing? Are data protection concerns becoming less important? Questions about questions that will certainly be raised or discussed at the R+T Smart Home Forum at the R+T digital.The R+T Smart Home Forum is already familiar from the previous physical edition of the world’s leading trade fair for this industry, the R+T 2018 in Stuttgart. At the trade fair booth of the Federal Association of Roller Shutters + Sun Protection (Bundesverband Rolladen + Sonnenschutz) last year, approx. 2 hours per day were devoted to a particular theme, with presentations and a discussion round, involving similar topics.

Same name, new format
At the R+T digital, the Smart Home Forum will now be held on the Building Trade Day, and will take place in a hybrid format. This means that moderators, speakers and discussion participants will appear on an 18 m wide stage in the ICS at the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre, while visitors will participate exclusively online from their offices or home offices.
On this day, seven exciting presentations and an extensive discussion round will enable visitors to gain a comprehensive overview of the many possibilities and advantages of Smart Home. The event consists of four blocks. The first three presentations will be followed by the first round of discussions with interesting experts on the topic of “Connected life, living and working – opportunities for the building trade”. This will be followed by another four presentations. The second discussion round will conclude the day. The exact presentation programme can be viewed digitally before the start of the R+T at https://bit.ly/39cHhwb The Smart Home Forum’s Facebook page can be found online at www.facebook.com/rtsmarthomeforum. This year’s partners are Becker-Antriebe, Cherubini, elero (Sun Shading Solutions), Hella, Rademacher, Somfy and Warema. You can find out more about the speakers at the Smart Home Forum on pages 18 to 21 of SONNENSCHUTZWELT.
Real format again in 2022
At the R+T 2022, the Smart Home Forum will again take place as a real format over the entire duration of the fair. This means different and interesting thematic blocks for each day with presentations, which will be complemented by a discussion round to suit the topic.
