The Home Technology Association is proud to announce the winners of the second annual ‘HTA Product of the Year’ Awards. These awards are chosen by HTA Certified integrators—the most qualified and professional home technology integrators in the United States and Canada who have passed HTA’s unbiased, third-party certification program.
The HTA Product of the Year Awards are chosen by HTA Certified home technology integrators who have extensive hands-on experience with these products and brands. Their opinion carries weight, as HTA Certified integrators represent technology firms that have demonstrated outstanding technical skill, customer service, and have a positive reputation with industry peers and partners. To be selected as a winner from this elite group is something to be very proud of.
The HTA's Product of the Year Awards is open to manufacturers and service providers who are HTA Supporting Brand members. These vendors stand behind the HTA's mission of bringing integrators and the design and build communities together early for collaborative, mutually beneficial relationships. When integrators are hired as early as possible in an architect’s, interior designer’s, and builder’s workflow, homeowners get the best technology experience while minimizing change orders and project delays.
HTA Supporting Brand members submitted products in predefined categories to win an award, and HTA integrators voted on their favorites. The winners of the HTA 2023 Product of the Year Awards are:
