We challenged manufacturers and service providers that cater to the connected home to show us their best technologies. Dozens of vendors responded with submissions to the EH Product of the Year Awards, recognizing the best Technology, Products and Services
for the Electronic House. Winners of the 2012 Product of the Year Awards will be announced January 10th at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Winners of the Product of the Year Awards were chosen by EH editors, distinguished industry veterans and the magazine's DIY correspondent.
