Podcast Episode Explores Democratization of Home Tech
What if smart home technology were designed for everyone, not just tech enthusiasts? In a new episode of the ASHB Smarter Homes & Buildings Podcast, host Nicholas Fonteix of Full Automation Marketing sits down with Ashley Williams, founder of Serenity Smart Homes, to discuss how the smart home industry can become more accessible, practical and people-centered.
Williams shares how her background in technology, personal experiences as a parent and passion for privacy, accessibility and inclusion have shaped her approach to home automation. The conversation explores how smart technology can improve safety, support aging in place, assist neurodivergent households, protect privacy and simplify everyday life, while emphasizing human outcomes over technical features.
From local AI and interoperable smart home standards to home safety assessments and thoughtful technology design, this episode offers a fresh perspective on creating homes that are not only smarter, but safer, more inclusive and easier to live in.
