For many families in Hong Kong smart home has become an essential part of their everyday lives. “To achieve an international standard smart home platform, there’s still a tremendous amount of work to do. Today we are excited to have found the Tuya IoT Cloud Platform, which is a mature and easily integrated solution for us” said Jack Liu, Head of Product & IT at RHT Industries Limited in his speech at the conference.
“The growth of interest in smart home also creates significant value by reducing energy consumption, supporting the ecological transition of our societies.” Edoardo Brianzi, CEO of Earn Well Technology Limited pointed out in his speech. In the context of proposed carbon neutrality, smart home and other IoT industries will all develop towards low carbon and low power consumption. “Renewable energy will play a more critical role in the future world energy portfolio,” said Zijun Zhang, PhD, Associate Professor at City University of Hong Kong.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
