If you’ve been following us on Facebook and Twitter, you know Kwikset was exhibiting at the International CES 2015 at the beginning of January. For those of you who were not lucky enough to score a ticket, allow us to give you our recap of the show.

2015 is the year of the smart home. Everyone is saying it, including USA Today. Sixty-three percent of home builders even say home technologies are more important to their overall marketing efforts than they were two years ago.

CEA, the producer of the CES, recognized the importance of the smart home and connected technologies, and for the first time ever, there was a dedicated marketplace for these brands and products at CES – the Smart Home Marketplace at CES Tech West, and your favorite lock brand was there. We also hung out at the Z-Wave Alliance booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center where we showcased several of our SmartCode deadbolts.

Kwikset used the show as a platform to continue the conversation around smart locks and the connected home. If you stopped at the Kwikset booth at Tech West, you would have seen…
