According to Resideo, household-products manufacturing is a 3 trillion RMB industry in China. It also is an industry in which artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things find rapid and meaningful application. As a result of this, smart homes are set to boom in China. Resideo has responded to the needs of local customers by providing tailor-made solutions suitable for smart control both inside and outside of a residence. This echoes Gome's vision of “providing smart devices and complete solutions for individuals, families and businesses.”

“Strong relationships with companies like Gome Telecom Equipment are an important part of offering our customers best-in-class offerings,” said Vension Wu, managing director, Resideo, Asia Pacific. “Our contractors rely on us for design, consultation and training on new technology and connectivity. With a proven track record developing innovative technologies and connectivity solutions, we are ramping up our commitment to help contractors succeed as smart-home experts. Gome is a strategic partner whose vision aligns with our own.”

This year, Resideo plans to set up booths featuring smart living in more than 100 Gome stores. Resideo plans to bring a number of Honeywell Home branded systems and products to market in China that are designed to meet the demand for enhanced home security, safety and water leakage protection.
