Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026 takes place from February 3–6 at Fira de Barcelona, Gran Via, with the show once again bringing together the latest developments in AV, control and smart building technology.
Under the theme ‘Push Beyond’, ISE 2026 places a strong focus on how technology, design and sustainability converge, particularly within the Residential & Smart Building Technology Zone located in Halls 1 and 2.
The zone brings together specialists in connected living, spanning home automation, architectural lighting and integrated control. Lutron (2G700) showcases advanced lighting control and motorised shading solutions, while KNX (2J300) highlights the breadth of its open standard for smart building automation. With KNX-compatible devices now covering lighting, HVAC, security and energy management, sustainability and interoperability remain key themes. Also within this ecosystem, Eelectron SpA (1D700) presents a range of KNX solutions distinguished by Italian design.
Broader residential technology ecosystems are represented by ADI | Snap One + Control4 (2J150), which combines AV distribution, automation, surveillance and remote management. The company demonstrates unified interfaces that bring together lighting, climate, audio and video control across a property. For outdoor and perimeter solutions, Nice (2H400) focuses on automation for gates, garage doors, solar shading, parking and security, while DoorBird (2C330) presents IP-based video door intercoms and access control devices.
Power management and infrastructure also feature prominently. Gude (2P550) specialises in intelligent PDUs and remote monitoring tools designed to optimise power usage and maintain system stability in smart homes and buildings. MSolutions (1E900) supports integrators behind the scenes with AV testing and diagnostics tools that help ensure reliable HDMI, HDBaseT and USB connectivity. Residential networking is further addressed by Ubiquiti (1A800), which offers scalable WiFi, switching and security gateways aimed at delivering robust, whole-home connectivity.
Design-led residential solutions are another highlight. Basalte (2G150) combines high-end aesthetics with powerful control through tactile keypads, touchscreens and automation interfaces. Loewe (2E500) focuses on premium television design, pairing elegant form factors with OLED picture quality and smart TV functionality. Multiroom audio is represented by Sonos (1F500), while Bang & Olufsen (2C300) continues its long-standing association with luxury audio design. Acoustic performance is addressed by Artnovion (2B150), which blends acoustic treatment with interior-friendly design for residential, studio and venue environments.
Technology Integration Partners (2J500) brings together a broad portfolio including D-Tools, Russound, Barco Residential, Savant, Domotz, PrimeTheater, Steinway Lyngdorf and Fortress Seating. Collectively, these brands cover integration software, distributed audio, luxury projection, smart home platforms, network monitoring, bespoke cinema solutions, premium loudspeakers and custom seating.
Hybrid innovation
Residential technology also reflects changing lifestyles, particularly the rise of hybrid working. Huddly (1C130) demonstrates AI-powered, software-defined cameras designed for home offices and collaboration spaces, offering features such as autonomous framing and speaker tracking. Elsewhere on the show floor, Crestron (3H200 and 3H300) presents premium home automation and residential technology spanning audio, lighting, collaboration and control.
Alongside the exhibition, ISE 2026 hosts a comprehensive education programme curated by CEDIA. The Smart Home Technology Conference runs from February 3–5 and features expert-led workshops and courses covering lighting, energy, audio, AI, control systems, architecture and IT and cybersecurity, with selected sessions delivered in Spanish. A hands-on CEDIA RP-32 Audio System Measurement and Verification Workshop takes place on February 2, while the Smart Home Technology Stage in Hall 2 offers complimentary daily sessions throughout the event.
Registration for ISE 2026 is now open, with free entry available using the code ‘essentialinstall’ via the ISE website.
