Smarthome Direct Growth the Smart Way

That's a philosophy that Smarthome has espoused from the very beginning. In 1992, the company initially only distributed home automation products and parts under the proprietary Smarthome name. But customers began to clamor for more types of products. Kapur points out that the customers' collective desire for a one-stop shop for home automation products led the company to begin selling third-party products just a few years later.
