Epitome Living has been shortlisted in the Technology Beyond the Home category for its design and installation work in the Partnership Hub and boardroom of Lisburn-based home heating appliance manufacturer Warmflow.
Epitome Living was founded in 2017 to enhance people’s lives at home with technology that automates everyday tasks like turning on lights, controlling the building’s temperature, and opening and closing blinds.

Since then, the company has diversified to deliver smart technology and audiovisual installations in commercial settings like showrooms, offices, and hospitality venues whilst retaining its core residential smart home offerings.
Now in its twentieth year, the CEDIA Smart Home Awards celebrates the most innovative companies in the smart home sector. Judges of the 2026 awards have shortlisted the most outstanding achievements in smart home design and business innovation in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), and Asia Pacific over the past two years.
The Technology Beyond the Home award is given to elite smart system integration projects implemented outside traditional residential settings. Epitome Living is the only company from Ireland to make a shortlist across award categories, and is up against businesses from across EMEA to take home the prize.
Speaking on Epitome Living’s shortlisting, Scott McMurray, the company’s founder and director, said: “CEDIA sets the standard for excellence in smart technology installations across the world, so to have our work recognised as award-worthy by its team of judges is a huge honour. We’re named in the Technology Beyond the Home category alongside some exceptional companies whose work we admire, which makes the recognition even better.

“We’ve won awards for our residential projects before, but this is the first award we’ve entered for a commercial project. I’m very proud of the team for putting the same care and effort into making people’s lives easier with workplace technology as they do making people’s lives easier in their homes. It’s our goal as a company to show how that’s possible with well-designed, reliable technology systems.”
The CEDIA Smart Home Awards 2026 prize-giving ceremony will take place at the National History Museum in London on 23rd October 2026.
