We’re very excited to announce that Life|ware™ will be a big part of this year’s NCHI New American Home at the International Builders Show in Las Vegas, January 20-23, 2009. Powered by Life|ware, the New American Home features Builders Best Practices and the latest concepts, designs and product technologies currently available for small, medium or large-scale homes for any location or price range.
Yeah, that’s really it. Amazing, huh?
Our products in the home will include Life|ware software, 4 Life|point touch panels, a Life|controller automation controller and 2 Life|media 450 media servers. Visitors to the home will be able to see firsthand how easily Life|ware controls Lutron lighting, NuVo audio/video distribution, DSC security systems, Panasonic cameras and Pentair pool/spa systems from multiple access points including iPod Touch devices.
This is a unique honor and a great opportunity for EI and we’re proud that Life|ware automation software and hardware has been selected as the digital living solution that brings the 2009 New American Home to life.

ORLANDO – Hello, Everybody. Nice seeing you again.
Day One of the International Builder’s Show, and we can finally take the wraps off our new Life|ware Builder program.
I’m pretty excited about this. See, all the research and market analysis tells us that automation and electronics packages are ready to burst on the new home scene. Life|ware is the perfect product to manage these offerings. Because it’s hardware neutral, in many cases it can manage the systems Builders are already installing.
The Builder Program makes it easier for Builders to get started offering Digital Entertainment and Automation upgrade packages. We’ve spec’d out five different packages for five different types of budgets. If a builder doesn’t have an integration team in place, we’ll hook him up with a Life|ware Certified dealer to install the solutions.
It’s a win-win-win kind of thing. Builders can offer the packages the market has been seeking, installers can drive more business with more integrations, and customers can get kickin’ digital entertainment and automation systems for their new homes.
Good times.

- A lot of people
- A lot of commotion
- A lot of dust
Today we give you a sneak peek at the NextGen home being built in the West Parking lot (outdoor exhibits area) for IBS. The home opens with the show tomorrow morning.

ORLANDO – The International Builder Show is HUGE.
How huge? Close to 1900 exhibitors huge. 30-minute lines to get a hot dog at lunch huge.
Although we’ve done the show for three years now, products like Life|ware are generally the exception, rather than the norm, which strikes me as odd, since the builders are very eager to learn more about Life|ware and how they can offer it to their customers. This year’s show should see a few announcements that they will be very interested in.
