Why We’re Proud to Be a CEDIA Member — And Why It Sets Smarta Apart
In an industry that’s evolving as quickly as smart home automation, one thing matters more than ever — standards.
At Smarta Automation, we’re proud to be members of CEDIA — the global organisation representing professionals in smart home technology, AV integration, and automation.
For us, CEDIA isn’t just a badge. It’s a commitment to doing things properly — and delivering better outcomes for our clients.
What is CEDIA?
CEDIA supports companies involved in designing and installing smart home systems through:
Industry training and certification
Best practice guidelines
Global knowledge and networking
It helps define what a professional smart home installation should look like.
What Sets CEDIA Members Apart
Not all smart home or AV companies operate to the same standards.
Being a CEDIA member reflects a commitment to:
Proper system design, not just product installation
Ongoing training and development
Following global best practices
Delivering systems that are reliable and easy to use
While many installers do great work, not all invest in the same level of professional development. That difference becomes clear on more complex projects.
CEDIA membership is one of the clearest ways to identify companies committed to higher standards.
Why This Matters for Your Project
Choosing a CEDIA member like Smarta means working with a team that:
Designs with the whole system in mind
Plans for future upgrades
Integrates lighting, AV, networking, and control properly
Delivers a seamless, reliable experience
It’s the difference between a system that works — and one that works exceptionally well long-term.
Building a Stronger Industry in New Zealand
New Zealand’s smart home industry is still growing, and with that comes opportunity.
If more integrators engage with CEDIA, we can raise standards, improve outcomes, and build greater trust across the industry.
Our Commitment at Smarta
We’re committed to delivering systems that are:
Thoughtfully designed
Professionally installed
Easy to use
Built to last
Being part of CEDIA helps us maintain that standard.
Let’s Raise the Standard Together
The future of smart homes in New Zealand is exciting — but it depends on the people building it.
If we want better systems and better outcomes, it starts with raising the standard.
