In the company of two experienced industry practitioners, David Graham of Grahams Hi-Fi and Steve Moore of SMC, we cover two important issues facing integrators - how do you run a smart home project in another country and what can you do to generate recurring monthly revenue from service and after-care? We’ll be asking what steps you should take to deliver on projects overseas and finding out how you can make a success of this kind of work for you and your customer. Then, once we've figured out what makes Steve Moore tick - and heard the one word he'd use to describe his fashion sense - we'll examine why service is important for your business. How can you offer after-care and why should you? What will change for your business if you do provide an on-going service package for your customer and what are the pitfalls to avoid? This podcast is recorded in the London showroom of Grahams Hi-Fi. The Integrated Home supports Together For Cinema – to find out more, visit www.togetherforcinema.co.uk.

We examine the big issue of lighting in the company of Homeplay’s Managing Director, James Ratcliffe, alongside Nic Black, Principal of The Pyramid Group. We ask how integrators can bring lighting design and lighting control into their business. What's involved and how will embracing lighting change your business offering for the better? As the CEDIA Awards open for entry, we also talk to James and Nic about taking part in Award schemes. What does it take to win an Award and is it worth all the effort? The episode is recorded in one of the industry’s newest showroom spaces, the Homeplay Experience Centre in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey. James tells us about the Experience Centre, explaining how it came about, how the project evolved and, now it's open, how it's working. We're very excited to launch a new, in fact, our first competition.

The twin crises of climate breakdown and biodiversity loss are the most serious issues of our time. So, what can, or should, home technology companies be doing to be more sustainable and what steps can be taken to address the climate emergency? In this discussion we're joined by Alex Josling from Seven Integration, Tas Kyriacou from IDS, Chris Turner from Faradite and April Sotomayor from Investors in the Environment to look at how our industry can reduce its impact on the environment.
